our cat Emerald

This little mommy somehow heard my cry of a “mouse in the house”, because she showed up the next day and hasn’t left since. Of course it could be the food we now provide keeping her around. Or the comfy garage she and her three kittens have taken a liking to. But we’d like to think she just likes us. The kittens are adorable, but we rarely see more of then than a blur. They run and hide as soon as they hear Ella coming. But once they’re through the fence to the neighbors I guess they feel safe. So today I watched one through the fence having a jolly o’time with Emmy’s tale. (Her eyes are a gorgeous green so I dubbed her Emerald and Jordan shortened it to Emmy or Cat). Ella loves having them around. And it gives us an excuse to play in the backyard daily now. Unfortunately, today, Ella found the one escape route from our backyard. There’s a hole in the fence to the side of the garage that she’s never noticed until now…

We’re hoping somehow the kittens decide they like us. There’s two black ones, and our favorite, a pretty striped one, but she’s yet to be more than a blur so we’ll see.
