Why Cats
January 9, 2009
Starting in October, I noticed a more than usual number of cats lurking around. There was the cat who started roosting in our driveway, the cat who sat on our porch at night, the cat who hovered over the storm drain on our curb (hunting, I suppose). I thought, it must be the energies of Fall.
Yet lately, it’s gotten much worse. Last week two separate cats darted towards and past me repeatedly as I made my way down a familiar block. Finally, one of the cats disappeared as the other hid under a car watching as I crossed the street. Yesterday with my sister, a cat rushed down his lawn to rub against my leg as we were coming home from lunch. On new years, my sister suddenly yalped while slamming the front door shut –jolted that she had opened the door to a sturdy cat sitting outside already staring at her. Last night, a bushy whitish cat sat on the ledge by our front door, peering in from the side as I left home with a friend, and waiting there on the curb as I got home.
Why?
