Unwelcome Guest



Finnegan's "good child" status is under review
                My apologies to the neighbors who left their home in my hands when they traveled for Christmas.  I’m sure they did not intend to have it tramped through and sprinkled with cat hair, just as I did not expect Finnegan to sneak in behind me when I brought in their newspaper.
                I was just about to leave their home when the silence was broken by a jingle…the exact same pitched jingle as my cats’ collars.  I’ve had these cats long enough that I didn’t even register surprise, but instead headed straight to the bedroom to collect my pet.  A small gray flash passed by as Finnegan dashed to the next room.
                The rooms on the first floor are laid out in a circle, making it hard to corner Finny as he sprinted from room to room.  The chase went on for ten minutes before he suddenly stopped, walked over to me, and started purring.   Apparently he was done playing and was ready to leave.
                At least this time I didn’t have to get the ladder out to retrieve a cat from the neighbor’s house.
