For years now, I’ve been saying that I would like a cat, but I refuse to go out & adopt one myself. I know better than to bring a cat into my condo on purpose. The moment that I seek out a spare cat to make my own pet, there’s no doubt in my mind that another one will show up at my doorstep. This happens constantly with cats in my life, & I have no reason to feel that my feline luck would have changed. The problem with having two cats is, they don’t constantly get along. That’s why I’m more than glad to rest back & wait patiently for a needy cat to come into my life. It’s a fantastic thing that I had this mentality, because that’s exactly what happened yesterday when the outdoor weather conditions began to change. As cool air blew through our region, I put off using the central forced air furnace for as long as I could. It seemed like I could get by with a few small space boilers for the time being, & my central Heating and Air Conditioning system could chill out. After a few weeks of uneven hot & cold hot & cold temperatures in my house with the alternative heating sources at work, I decided to power up the central furnace for the first time. It felt charming. Immediately, my condo was filled with luxurious warm air. It felt better than ever before. Well, I must not have been the only one who felt this way. As I walked out to leave for labor the other morning, a cat ran right under my feet & into the house. It’s been a week & he refuses to leave. In fact, I can’t even get him off the warm air vents.
