This is our new cat Earl Gray who is... oh, several years old... we're not exactly sure... He used to belong to neighbors of our friends from church, John and Joan. A while back, Earl and his family moved but not too far from John and Joan. After a while, Earl returned to his old neighborhood. He was recognized, cared for and returned to his family. After a while, Earl returned to his old neighborhood. His family tried to confine him for several weeks and Earl just kept finding his way back. He was cared for by some other neighbors of John and Joan until they moved... Then John and Joan took him in and now... (you guessed it) they're moving. They decided Earl needed a new home since he wasn't really compatible with their cat and Earl had run out of neighbors.We had been thinking about getting a cat but were always concerned about the slim chance of getting a normal cat. This seemed like a good opportunity since Earl has a nice personality for a feline.
As Earl's latest cat care providers, we introduced him to all the bipeds in the family and a small part of the house. We think he's aware of another mammal lurking outside the door... and Lido knows something is going on but he's not sure what. As cat-dog relations go, Earl is pretty streetwise for his age. After all, he's well travelled. Lido, on the other hand, has only seen a cat once. In that encounter, Lido ran toward his soon to be best friend at full speed. I think he's still wonding why that cat bolted up a tree... We're hopeful that Lido and Earl will become pals. Stay tuned.
