So we've (and by 'we' I mean Steve) been adopted by this black cat in our neighborhood, who has been hanging out at our house for a couple of months. Steve named him 'Ben-10' (the boys' fave cartoon show) and got him cat food, some kitty toys and lets him in the house whenever he comes a-knockin.
Yesterday, this nice young couple stopped by and asked if we'd been feeding their black cat. Turns out the 'stray' lives around the corner and is getting FAT from mooching off all the neighbors. His name is OLIVE (lol, how's that for a koinkidink, Megs?) and his owners have been wondering why he's getting so round and who he's been stealing cat toys from. They said he's very social, and to please not feed him as the Mrs. is really allergic to cats unless they feed him some special food.
Poor Skyn was crushed, but I said Olive could come and hang out with him any time, just no more freeloading.

That's hilarious and so NOT a shock. I knew that cat had to have a home he was coming from! I wonder what Skyn will bring home next...
what a goober... steve is welcome to play with the puppy if/when i get her, but he is NOT allowed to feed her apparently. ;)
That is a really cute story. Steve-O needs a pet I think. Time to go to the pound...
oh yes he def. needs a pet. And the fly and ladybug the twins caught in their Dollar Store 'bughouses' is evidently not good enough. Maybe I can knit him a pet?
Oh I am SO sick of people and their allergies...so many sensitive Sally's around. Get a dog...then you can take up running again:)!
rumor has it that Katie may be getting a puppy and we have been asked to run doggy day care so maybe...
