Hey there mylotters, This happened about 50 minutes ago or so and I'm still trying to deal with it. Thought I'd post in the hopes that maybe some of you guys and gals just might respond so I could have some human interaction as I try to stay as calm as I can for now and also try to cope with my feeling(s) of creepiness. *kinda wanting to laugh out loud but not even able to begin to do so*... I am mainly wishing I could *scream out loud*, since I live/am inside by myself and no one else could even hear me except God, but that doesn't seem to be a possibility either! Here's what happened earlier. I have some cat "friends" which I have been feeding (and watering) regularly for quite some time and they have begun to "trust" me as best they can. Okay... Two in particular are a momma and her baby (about 5 months old). They also both let me pet them and "seem to try to communicate" with me. A while ago, momma made contact with my screen door, as if maybe trying to tell me "something" or wanting/needing to make contact. So I thought, hmmm ... Okay, what's up? Actually I wondered if momma S was trying to tell me that "her baby" needed help or something. So I put my shoes on, got my outside seeing glasses and went to take a peek. Turned on my outside light and went right around the side of my building (I live in a duplex/half a double). Saw baby "Muse" on the lawn, she/he? (think "it's" a she. Might need to do a whole nuther topic on help for me to domesticate the both of them, any help when I do will be greatly appreciated.) Muse seemed fine (and I was greatly relieved!), but however also appeared to be "investigating" the grass close by. So I did take a wee bit of a closer look. "Muse" was still seemingly okay, as I turned to further check things out. But since I also had my outside porch light on, I happened to notice a small shadow along the brick wall of my place. It was about three to four inches. No I haven't even googled that info and am almost afraid to do so now. I really got creeped out, because I think it was a mouse. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Big EW!! Never saw any of them here before where I live, but am sure they are everywhere!! Ugh!! So anyway, I came back right back inside and closed my door, since I was and am still thoroughly creeped out!!! Like big major ewwwwwwwww!!! Later though I will turn my light on again and bravely venture back out to make sure Sheebs and her kitten have plenty of porridge to help them make it thru the night. Forgive me guys for rambling, but I just needed to reach out for some human contact if anyone sees/reads this post and cares to respond. Perhaps I was also trying to vent, to keep from being overwhelmed by anxiety. Thanks if anyone reads this and chooses to respond. By the way, I am also going to be real brave in a few minutes and go make sure my little "wild cat friends" have plenty of food for the rest of the night. Take care, firefox333
