While I'm not a cat person either Vicki (not to mention I'm terribly allergic to them), there ocassionally comes along a cat that's just got that something extra, (no, I'm not talking about a male stray), but I am talking about cats I've been around that really seem to like people and wish to interact and warm up to them.. This from ALL I've seen given a cats inherent independent disposition is far from the norm however.. but ocassionally a cat is more receptive and sensitive to people like dogs, yet, people that've never had birds would be AMAZED at how a bird will warm up to it's owner too if given the time and attention..While it's not common (to my knowledge) for cats to pick people they don't know and warm right up, I think alot has to do with the cross-breeding because I've not seen too many pedigreed cats that are this receptive to people, but they do exist..
But here's what I also think. This cat knew and recognized the scent of your dog, might've been afraid of the dog, and knows the dog is no longer around and is quite curious !
btw, I have two jet black cats living out front (I try to get along with the neighbors who feed and let the cats stay on the porch, I suppose it's a better place than the common hall where I'd have to be living on benedryl due to the dander in a non-ventillated alcove). I have no fear of black cats, no superstitious belief, but if course I was born on a friday the 13th, and my parents had a black cat.. Not many of us consider "friday the 13th" a lucky day ! but I do..
Hopefully you have a new pet. Sounds like a cool cat ! If I didn't have such a nasty allergy I'd probably get a cat like Babs has.. You look at those Canadian Sphinx hairless, and how can you not laugh at those little Martian looking faces.. I need a pet that can make me laugh.. I get tired of scrolling back having to reread my posts for cheap thrills. OK, back on tour.
*I'm not a big one for ESP, or paranormal activity, but animals DO in fact sense things and for all you know, this cat might know just what's going on, and that you have a vacancy and need a companion*
I used to sit out on womens porches, follow them around but I never had much luck.
she is delightful...I have no doubt she is someones beloved pet, but she seems happy to divide her time between our house and her own. I was at work for all but 1/2 hour from 8.30 till 6.30pm, when I arrived home she was inside already. tis now 10.30pm and she is still here...I dunno if I should encourage her to stop over cos if someone is missing her then I am causing distress...she has just asked to go out but its raining hard so has opted to stay put...hmmm...I cant clean up cat poop without throwing up
Cats are supposed to poop in a box of cat litter..
