Angel and Autumn are coming into the house on a more regular basis, not just to poop under the sofa or loveseat (always a joy to clean, they both have reclining seats so the space below them is empty, purrfect for a squatting cat and squat they do, I used the Floormate three times under them to get the poop accompanying urine up).
I caught Angel inside in the mid to late afternoon last week, sleeping on the sofa. She didn’t mind when I sat down next to her, she came over to me wanting me to pet her and scratch her back and neck, then she settled down next to me. The third day I found her there, I walked back to the office to grab the camera, but she ran when I came back and she saw that thing in my hands. I’d love to get a picture of her because she’s one of the most adorable cats I’ve ever seen, she’s just so keeYOOOT!
This was taken in July 2001. As she got older, she got a lot more shy and it became almost impossible to get new pictures of her.
Autumn seems to have moved into the spot in the sleep center that was once occupied by Little Bit. She’ll let me reach in and pet her. This morning I even got her to give me a little “that’s nice” purr.
Maybe someday they’ll be sofa cats 24/7 like the rest of the crew. They’ll lose their “ghost cat” designations.
