I am not a cat person. Never have been. I think they are a bit quirky and not very sociable. Please, cat lovers, do not persecute me. I am not saying they are terrible creatures, I am just pointing out the fact that I am much more a dog person.
Well last night when I pulled up at my home after small group, Sophie and Kristen were waiting for me in the garage. Sophie ran to me as she always does. I imagine this a bit like having children. I, for one, have no kids other than the malte-poo, so am only making this judgment based solely on observation. Anyway, it was then that Sophie spotted a new friend: the cutest, smallest little silver and white kitten in all the land. I was scared of what my 10 lb. fur-ball might do to this petite little youngster, but to my surprise I found them kissing. Kristen and I almost cried it was so cute. They played together in the front yard, walked side-by-side on the sidewalk and kissed each other.
I figured it was our new neighbors' and didn't think about it
again. Until this morning. The little kitty cat was waiting for us on the front porch. He/she is the cutest thing. I opened the front door and put out a bowl of milk and water, since I do not know her drink of choice yet. She lapped up the milk. It is pretty much love.
Sophie and I went inside so I could finish getting ready for work. But Sophie was not happy with that decision. She sat by the front door and cried! She wanted her friend! I immediately called the husband to ask if we could keep the cat.
he said no.
But I don't care. I will name him/her and will continue to feed the little body as long as Sophie's friend continues to pay us a visit.
Now I just need a name for the cute thing. I was thinking gender neutral since I do not know the sex, but Trey informed me that all it takes is lifting the leg to see what gender he/she is. I didn't even think of that. I guess that is why I am not a vet.
I will let you know. Hopefully pictures, too.
(not the new friend, but there is an uncanny similarity between this googled image and the real deal)

I'm not much of a cat person either. I think it's real cute that your dog has made a new friend. The fact that it's a "mixed" relationship :) makes it that much more sweet.
How sweet. Sophie always struck me as a choosy friend picker so this cat must be something special. Keep working on Trey- he will crack.
i love my cat...and it sounds like you have found a fabulous one too. i mean, you have to keep him or her. MUST.
Sophie will be sad if her new friend can't stay! Once Trey sees that, I bet he/she will be sleeping on the bed along with y'all!

I am not a cat fan either; however, I think Sophie has decided the cat stays.
