This morning when the kids went to school a small black cat (only a kitten, really) showed up on my doorstep. Very friendly and yelling madly with what I now know to be hunger. A new face on the block, no-one either my next-door-neighbour or myself recognise.
At 0930 I found him/her in my house eating Piffle's food. Sorry, wolfing down Piffle's food.
At 0945 Piffle saw him/her off in no uncertain terms.
I then went out - got back just after 1300 and the little black stranger was in my kitchen - and still is now.
So now I don't know whether he/she is lost and needs to be shut up and kept safe until I can find the owner, or if he/she just fancies some company while his/her human(s) are out at work. I just don't want him/her to wander on and get run over.
