followed me home the other night. i thought she (and i did check, she is a she) would find her way home eventually. came home with friends the next night after the first fireworks display and there she was waiting for me on the front doorstep. i put food and a blanket out, as she was getting clingy and obviously lost. last night, since it was the major city fireworks display, i worried she would get scared and lost from having been lost. i didn't see her and hoped she had simply found her way home. put food out just in case, but no sign of her.

this morning food was gone, and although this could have been any random cat, i doubt it was.

sigh. i'm not *allowed* to have another cat, but she's so lovely and affectionate and sweet and obviously needs a home. guess if i see her again, i'll have to be putting posters round the neighbourhood.

(the term 'spare cat' was coined by friends years ago who had been 'adopted' by a spare cat in adition to their own.)
