Nestled in the zebra grass, just beyond the steps of or deck, is our newest addition. Can you see her? Yes, there she is. Our "Potato", as Peanut has named her. At least, we think it's a "her". But, with "Potato" being a neutral name, it will be perfect if "she" turns out to really be a "he". If she officially becomes our pet, as I think she secretly already is.
You see, she isn't really ours. But the longer she stays, the more cozy she seems. And the more cozy she seems, the more we seem to fall in love with her.
Where did she come from? Well, we really don't know. She just appeared at our campfire over Labor Day weekend while we were roasting marshmallows, and the rest is, well....history. Since she was already wearing a collar and had no fears of walking right in through our back door, we know she belongs somewhere, to somebody. And, try as we may to find her family, nobody seems to know anything about her.
So now our stray "Potato" is quickly becoming our pet "Potato".
And Mommy really can't complain. Partly because our "Potato" appeared just as Mommy was beginning to feel a bit lonely with everybody away all day long. And partly because Peanut has been begging us lately for a puppy or a kitty cat.
So, voila.......two problems solved......with one Potato.

Awww...Potato is a cutie! Have you had her scanned for a microchip? She/He looks like a perfect addition to your family :)
I never even thought about the microchip! She definately seems comfortable at our house, so I know she had to have been someone's inside cat.
