There’s a ___ in the house!

Sheba, my mom’s kitty, is a lovely blue-point Siamese. She is shy around strangers, and absolutely avoids children.

We have been here for almost a week, and that cat stays hidden exactly until Amy is in her pack and play for naps or bedtime. Then out she comes to do her business and all.

This morning, it must have been rather quiet. Amy was standing by the couch as my mom was reading to her.

The cat came out and headed to wherever she was going.

All of the sudden, she and Amy became aware of one another.

The cat froze.

Amy’s hands flew up in delight, she squealed, and started toddling forward.

The cat retreated, of course.

How we wish we had a camera at the moment!
