A visitor
We have a visitor. As before with Beau and Midnight–out of the blue. Just turned up mewing sadly, not knowing that as an old friend once said it had fallen into the butter dish by stopping by.
He/she-we don’t know the gender yet–advances a little further down the path each visit, encouraged, by the food laid out, to be courageous.
Last night I noticed it managed to lower its eyes while lapping up the milk.
No sign of it this morning when Meredith called out. She worries the house cats have shooed it away during the night.
They have treated it as a curiosity so far and offered little hostility. Could mean it’s female –which would be good in a household of three big males but the name that came into Meredith’s mind –Archimedes– would not suit the little mite!
It rained in the night–perhaps it’s sleeping off a disturbed night.
Watch this space for updates on this happy event…
Meanwhile here’s a link to Meredith’s beautiful footage in the courtyard…
Ben seems cool about the watching figure!
STOP PRESS: Sighting at noon–all’s well!
