That Darn Cat

I probably woke the neighborhood this morning with my rather shrill (I am ashamed to say) scream.

Here's what happened. . .

I am buckling Hudson into his car seat and I hear a small "Thump thump", pause momentarily, but think nothing of it so continue to strap Hudson in.

When I stand up, I'm eye to eye with a cat. It's literally an inch from my nose. I scream - Hudson laughs and the cat- completely unfazed- cocks his head and meows. I slam the door hoping to scare it away, tell it to shoo, even clap my hands at it to no avail. Finally I said, "I'm going to drive away with you on the roof!" And hop in and start the car. The cat leaps to the ground.

This is the same cat that tried to get inside my house the other day, ducking and weaving and trying to get past my legs into the door. I finally had to brandish a rake at it for it to leave. It's getting pretty brazen.

Sheesh!
