Tonight we had our greatest excitement so far in quarantine. I was in the back bedroom with two of my kids watching TV, when I saw our cat, Petunia, a black and white cat with a pink nose at the back door. We have been letting our indoor cats come out in the yard with us...
...during the day because we are always out there and we’ve realized they have almost no interest in leaving the yard. I was feeding the baby so I asked my oldest to let the cat in when I realized we had left her in the yard. As she walked by I noticed her collar was off...
...and then about three minutes later we heard our other cat Hildy start making the craziest yowls and my husband yelling WHAT IS GOING ON. All the other pets were apparently grouped up around Petunia and Jeff was yelling that’s not Petunia! And so I realize...
...that we have let another cat who looks exactly like Petunia and happened to show up on our back porch into our house! Jeff scooped up fake Petunia and put it in the backyard. We were all very excited because we are pretty bored and then I remembered that our three and four...
...year old kids always stop two houses down to look at the cats in the window and one of them looks like Petunia. So I texted our neighbor and it turns out fake Petunia was actually Oreo, and he was still parading around our backyard and they were able to rescue him. The end.
I realize this story is not actually exciting and I’m sorry but THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE NOW.
I will say that the thrill of fear I felt when my husband yelled that it wasn’t Petunia was as exciting as if we had let a human impostor into our home.
The way Oreo just strolled right in: A SOCIOPATH
