This morning my “Ring” doorbell kept pinging my phone, telling me that there was someone at my door. I used the app to check but could not see anyone. Finally I opened my door and found a beautiful medium haired, cream colored cat with mocha spots on his body and mocha stripes on his legs.  He had a shorter than normal tail, hinting perhaps a Manx was somewhere in his ancestry.

When I opened the door he simply stepped into the house and proceeded to tour the place.  He went everywhere; smelled everything. Finally after looking in the washroom, he left me a small present in the hall, then he started to vocalize softly. I took him back to the front door , opened it, and he left.

Unfortunately I did not think to get a picture of him, but he was wearing a collar.  I think the name was “Louis” and I was unable to read what was on the other side of the tag.

“Louis” was both friendly and beautiful.  I hope the owner finds him and keeps him inside. I personally have seen a bear, many coyotes and a Bobcat in my yard.  I would hate for “Louis” to end up as a snack for the predators in our area.

As a final note:  If “Louis” shows up on my doorstep again I am very tempted to buy some Kitty Litter and keep “Louis”.  He is a beautiful cat.
