Family ties

 After both of my cats died this past year I was feeling a bit sad. I still have my dog, Ejay, who was ten in February. At last count I also had a half dozen humming birds who depend on me for food. Lately there has been a cat, who my son thinks is about 6 months old, hanging around my house. He has been sleeping in the dog house. Yesterday I decided I might as well buy some cat food because it looked like he was more than a little bit hungry. I had to tell Ejay that the cat is staying outside so he doesn't have to worry. I just feel since it chose me it is my job to feed him/her.
