ReisenderI was sitting at a table in the upstairs common area and this guy climbed through the window and after feeding him some cat food Kim had for strays, he jumped up on my lap and start purring. I set him on my bed quilt to finish what I was dung and he immediately fell asleep...I think I have a companion for the night.
