This morning, I woke up to find a stray cat sleeping in my bed — all thanks to my front door blowing open during last night’s windstorm.
I’ve talked about this little guy before. His name is Sam, a sweet stray who usually stops by for a few hours each evening. He waits patiently outside the side door until I let him in, then he’ll curl up on the couch, grab a snack in the kitchen, take a quick nap, and head back out.
But last night, the weather turned nasty. The rain was pouring, and the wind was roaring. I stepped outside to grab something from my truck when I heard a faint cry down the street. I called, “Sam!” and to my surprise, he came running — soaked, dripping, and shivering.
He followed me inside without hesitation. I dried him off, brushed away the mud, and gave him some food. After warming up with a nap, he slipped back outside. I went to bed a few hours later.
When my alarm went off at 5 a.m., I sat up and felt something soft beside me. Half-asleep, I reached out to pet it. A tiny meow answered back. I turned on the light — and there was Sam, curled up in my bed. He stretched, purred, and started kneading the blanket like he was saying, I live here now.
I walked around trying to figure out how he’d gotten in, until I noticed the front door halfway open — the wind must have blown it wide during the storm.
Before I left for work, I sat on the couch for a moment, and Sam hopped up next to me. He pressed his paw against my leg, like he wanted me to stay just a little longer.
At this point, I’m not sure who rescued whom. 💗
