Big Birds! During Dec., in one of those cold nights, I heard some sort of knocking on the metal gate of my house. I thought I was imagining things or strong winds might have caused the sound of knocking. When I heard It again, I thought at least I would check. I opened the door and looked but found no one. Then I heard a meow :) Looking down I saw this cute cat, meowing politely and I just couldn’t resist her. I brought her some sausages and milk and the minute she saw food in my hands, she started meowing faster. I enjoyed looking at her eating and purring. I believe she was really hungry because she was swallowing food and not chewing much, exactly like me when I’m extremely hungry. She started coming almost every night, if not knocking on the door, she would meow until I open the door for her. She also started sleeping on the door mat. Sometimes she wouldn’t eat when I give her food, but instead she tried her best to follow me inside the house. I tried to reason with her and tell her I can’t let her in, and I thought she understood :D She would see me when I get back home from the GYM and follow me and I played with her in the building yard, as she is really active and just like a child; needs a lot of attention. A few days ago she came to my door in the early morning and I fed her. When she tried to get inside, I stopped her gently and locked the door as usual. Shortly after, while sitting beside the window, I saw a shadow of a big bird on the tree behind me, and when I looked, I saw her moving on the tree branch and looking at me. It was hilarious and she looked excited to find another way to get in, from the window this time. I don’t know if she understood me, but finally I was able to convince her to get down. I kept laughing at her perseverance all day long.

Big Birds!

During December, on one of those cold nights, I heard some sort of knocking
on the metal gate to my house. I thought I was imagining things or strong winds might have caused the sound of knocking. When I heard It again, I thought that at least I would check. I opened the door and looked but found no one. Then I heard a meow :)

Looking down I saw this cute cat, meowing politely and I just couldn’t resist her. I brought her some sausages and milk and the minute she saw food in my hands, she started meowing faster. I enjoyed watching her eat and purr. I believe she was really hungry because she was swallowing the food and barely chewing it, exactly like me when I’m extremely hungry.

She started coming almost every night, if not knocking on the door, she
would meow until I opened the door for her. She also started sleeping on the
door mat.
Sometimes she wouldn’t eat when I offered her food, but tried her
best to follow me inside the house, instead. I tried to reason with her and tell her I can’t let her in, and I thought she understood :D
She would see me when I got back home from the GYM and follow me and I played with her in the building yard, as she is really active and just like
a child needs a lot of attention.

A few days ago she came to my door in the early morning and I fed her.
When she tried to get inside, I stopped her gently and locked the door
as usual. Shortly after, while sitting beside the window, I saw a shadow
of a big bird on the tree behind me, and when I looked, I saw her moving
on the tree branch and looking at me. It was hilarious and she looked
excited to find another way in, from the window this time. I don’t
know if she understood me, but finally I was able to convince her to get
down.

I kept laughing at her perseverance all day long.

Very well written!

Of course I remember you, Prettyautumn :) It's been so long and I'm thrilled to have your comment here and to see you active on italki :)) Thank you very much for reading my entry. I agree with you that this cat is cute, because not every cat captures my attention like her. This one makes me giggle sometimes, you have to see her racing me on the stairs and standing on her feet to play and get her food. She's very creative ;))

Hi Mumtaz, it has been a long time since we contacted last time (I wonder if you still remember me, but I remember you :D). The cute little cat is smart enough to know whom she should turn to (and how to find ways to sneak in). What a lovely text! :-)

Thank you, Angela :) She's indeed sweet and mischievous, she knows how to make me laugh :D

Thank you, Pao :)) I love that cat and I actually miss her because she didn't pass by me for a few days! I guess she has been fed somewhere else, as she's chubby and I can't imagine her not coming if she was hungry. The good thing is, the whole building I'm living in loves her and feed her, and it shows clearly on her chubbiness ;D
