As I stated in a previous post, my cat, Buddy, hangs out with a stray whom I named Scout. Many times this new year I've found Buddy and Scout together in our south shop. I'd like to explain a short story about Scout and in just 3 days, it's become a beautiful things.
Day 1
Buddy was down in the shed and I went to go get him. I heard meowing and looked down and saw Buddy at my feet. I still heard meowing and followed it to under the wagon wheel. It was the black cat, Scout. I pet Buddy and gave him many belly rubs to draw Scout closer and he was jut inches away! I was so excited, but thought touching him would scare him away. I was so excited, or so I thought!
Day 2
Buddy was down in the shop again, so I went to go get him. However, Scout was not there. I left Scout a can of food to eat because I know he doesn't always get a lot of food.
Day 3
Today, I went down to get Buddy. He ran to me and I heard the meowing, so I went over to the wagon where he was again. I first noticed that the can of food was long gone. Scout looked at us and then quickly neared. I let him sniff my hand, which he licked kindly and soon, he was circling around me. After he got used to circling, I pushed my hand out to touch him. He didn't mine, so I stroked his fur lightly (it was so soft!). I'd seen Scout roll over before, and he rolled over for me and I lightly gave him a belly rub. Then he rolled over the rest of the way and sat back up. I pet him some more, and then he went away, and he looked very tired. Buddy and I went back to the north shop where I put him away for the night. It was so much more exciting than being inches from him!
