…an Unidentified Feline Object, that is.

This evening we had a nice breeze coming in through the back screen door. I was sitting at the kitchen table working on the laptop, minding my own business and occasionally annoying one of my cats hanging out near the door. I heard the Jingle Cat go by outside and ignored it, as Jingle Cat is a scaredy cat that is not interested in skritches. Then, when I got up to make some tea I glanced out through the screen door and saw an unfamiliar unknown and generally unidentified cat. For the purposes of this post I shall henceforth refer to him as “Charlie” as he has one of those Charlie Chaplin mustaches.

Charlie was sitting calmly outside watching me. Of course, my cats weren’t too happy about this interloper.

What was I to do? I had to go outside to pet the strange animal. (Hey. It beats running with scissors.)

It turns out that Charlie is quite friendly, so I spent a little while outside talking to him. And then I went inside. Charlie waited a minute, then decided to try climbing the screen and hissing at my babies. I went for the spray bottle, which Charlie obviously recognized. So, he went off to chew on my weeds. This he is welcome to do.

So, there you are. A close encounter with a UFO.
