Cali

Cali was back this morning. I've confirmed it's a girl! She heard me take Chloe out and next thing I knew, she was back on her perch on top of the shed, awaiting her breakfast. I obliged.

The boys and I are off today - and we're heading to the 'big mall' in Modesto. I need bras. While I shop at Macy's, the boys can head to Zumiez or wherever. We can meet up again around lunch time. B. is at the gym but thinks he'll be home in time for us to head out the door by 11ish. He has to be back for work by 4 and I have a lot to finish in the study - and a (small) list of work things I should take care of as well.

Chloe is so taken with Cali that they came nose to nose this morning. Chloe is still outside, 'hanging out' with the cat. THAT alone is worth the trouble of feeding her - Chloe only likes to be outside if we're hanging out with her - and I can't spend all day out there while she sniffs around, lounges in the sun, etc. So perhaps an 'outdoor' cat isn't such a bad thing.

I have to go fill up the car, stop at the bank and also now add 'buy cheap cat food' (Purina brand vs. the Nutro brand our cats eat) for Cali. I don't mind feeding her but I am thrifty and she'll be fine with Purina. She devoured the entire bowl of dry food I left on the front porch last night- well, at least she and perhaps a few of her neighborhood cats did. I didn't stay up to watch who visited the feeding bowl.

I hope I'm not turning into the 'cat lady of Tracy'.
