New Member of the Family (not quite)

The boys were outside playing in the field below our house a couple of weeks ago.

Little did they know that someone was watching them!

That little someone was a black cat. He has been coming around every day since then. He is very friendly. The kids have named him "Chewy" because he chews on their clothes when he is on their lap. They think it's great! I, however, am not so thrilled.

The first day he came around Phyllip asked if we could keep him. So, of course, I went through the list of reasons why we couldn't keep Chewy. Phyllip became distraught over this and went to his room. Little did I know that Phyllip was crying his eyes out in his room. He had become attached to this cat in a couple of hours! Phyllip has since gotten over not being able to keep him (I think).

So today the kids and I set out for our morning walk. Guess who was waiting for us. Yep you guessed it. Chewy! He was at the edge of our property. We pet him for a few seconds and then left. He followed us. We couldn't believe it. A cat going on a walk? Well, he only lasted a small distance, but he still followed us. It's almost like he's got some dog in him somewhere. How weird is that!
