Mysterious Monday Visitor

Tweet

This makes the second Monday morning with us having the most mysterious visitor. Last Monday morning, I was awoken by Tigger (my kitty) meowing, pawing, and scratching at the arcadia door in the bedroom. This is pretty odd behavior for him. Well, slowly I got up. Of course, he wanted to go outside like always so I got dressed let him out onto the patio. I figured I would step outside on the patio for a few minutes to get some fresh air. In the corner, I could see that there was someting. My sleep eyes had not quite adjusted. Then, I realize that it was a gray cat curled up in the corner. It most have been startled. It got up and jumped over the patio wall. Well, I had my answer of what it was that was driving Tigger crazy that morning. It was that another cat was on his patio. I truthfully thought that he was being territorial at first. The gray cat came back again that morning. A little later I heard meowing on the patio. Not wanting a fight I went to go supervise. Plus Tigger looked like he was scared as he was hunched near the door. Then, today a week later we almost had a house visitor. I had let Tigger out onto the patio and left the door open to the patio like always. All of a sudden I see a big gray cat about to come into the house. Not wanting a strange cat in the house I went out to the patio. Tigger followed me out. The cat jumped up onto the patio wall and just perched there. I was going to try to say hello to the cat, but then it jumped over the patio wall. Again, I went into the house a little while later I hear the gray cat meowing and Tigger meowing. Tigger was sticking his nose through one of the wholes of the patio and the gray cat was peeking his nose in from the outside of the patio. I went out to try to say hello to the kitty ran back across the street in the apartment complex to the building on the other side. The odd part was that TIgger kept looking for the cat to come back. He kept meowing. Then, he even jumped up on top of the patio wall were the cat had perched before it had ran off.He would come into the house like he hoped that if he was not out on the patio that the cat would come back. He even went to sit in the window sill like he was looking for where the gray cat had gone. It is the oddest thing. I do not know if it is a stray or just a cat that lives in the complex that is an outdoor cat. It is pretty big. That cat is even bigger than Tigger. Either way it looks like Tigger has a new friend. We will have to wait to see if the cat comes back again.
