The black cat with white paws came to the open screen door, peered inside and sat down. We were playing dominos at Jodi’s mom’s (Kathy) house after having picked up pizza for supper.
“He’s like Boots’ skinny little brother,” Jodi said. Boots is one of Kathy’s two cats that live in her garage. Both her cats are robust in body if not in spirit. This little fella is a stray in the neighborhood.
Kathy gets up and begins making it a dinner of bread and milk in an old whip cream container.
She takes it out to her patio and places it on the edge. The stray cat had retreated to the drive way when she came out. Kathy called to it repeatedly before leaving the food and coming back inside.
The cat circles around the patio and waits a few minutes before walking over to the food. It’s clearly learned who it can depend upon in the neighborhood.
We resume the game of dominos as the song nears its end.
“I used to be able play this on my keyboard,” Jodi said.
“Used to?” Kathy asks.
“Yeah, I haven’t practiced in a long time. It would probably be pretty clunky at this point.”
The cat has finished its meal and disappeared. Our game continues.
