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 litle longer.
At this point, I'm not sure who rescued whom
