Felix the Cat

So, we've kind of adopted a stray cat. At least it acts like a stray, so if this cat belongs to you...it is now living in our garage! You might want to come and claim it.

About 2 months ago, we started noticing 3 different cats hanging out in our backyard. We decided to buy some cat food and lure one of them into our garage (to help scare away any critters lurking out there!). We named the three cats. The large, orange cat became known as Garfield. The large, black cat was Ned. And the small, black cat was Felix. The kids wanted to have the same names that Grandpa Keith and Grandma Megan used for their cats :). Well, Felix was the winner. He started coming around everyday for cat food. Eventually, he started hanging out all day in our garage. And, now he has taken to constantly sleeping on the stairs in our garage. We thought he might like a bed, so the kids and I finally got around to making one for him.

He really is a sweet cat. For being a stray, he is calm and hardly skittery at all. He is always trying to sneak into our house, which is most definitely off limits. He even likes when the kids pet him. The kids have really enjoyed having a cat to take care of.

You might have noticed I've been calling Felix a "he" throughout this post. We are hoping he really is a "he" or at least a female that has been "fixed" (I'm not about to check...and I have probably touched the cat more times than all the other adults in this house combined). If not, we soon may have a bunch of kitties running around.
