Pony

I saw him first. I made sure the lady human also saw him.

Waffle

I saw him too. But I really didn’t care.

Pony

The lady human gave the cat some food (I think it was food — it came out of a can though) and some water — I think it was water, but it wasn’t moving water like ours.

Waffle

She gave him the good food? Now I care!

Pony

I watched the strange cat eat for a while, then took a nap. When I woke up the strange cat moved to a different door — the one in the room with the windows. I watched him intently. He growled at me.

Waffle

Then the lady human made us leave the room with the windows and she let the strange cat inside! Luckily for us she put it outside again and finally it went away.

Pony

The lady human was using her black rectangle a lot more than usual and talking on it a lot. Then she was talking to another lady human and went outside a lot. But then I took a nap.

Waffle

While Pony was napping I looked out the window and saw the strange cat was back again. I might have growled at him.

Pony

The lady human woke me up from my nap by making Waffle and me go in the room with the windows and locking us INSIDE this time. I wish she would make up her mind.

Waffle

She let that strange cat into the kitchen! It cried and cried — I almost felt sorry for it but then I remembered that it got the good food.

Pony

That other lady human came back and they put the strange cat in its carrier. It sure hated that! We understand completely! Then the other lady human and the strange cat left and our lady human let us out of the room with the windows.

Lady Human

What the Waffle and Pony couldn’t have known is that I found the owner by posting photos on a neighborhood email list. It all worked out well.

Yes, Waffle and Pony were heroes. If it were not for them I would not have noticed the cat on the deck and it may have been lost longer. Of course, maybe having the cats made the cat visit in the first place…
