Morris the cat

I currently live on ten acres of land with a huge front yard and surrounded by mostly pine trees. Last year while I was still moving in I had a suspicion that something was watching me. I never seen anything but my dad mentioned one day he saw something yellow bounding across the yard towards the crawl space under one of the storage buildings.

Weeks pass without another sighting so we thought it must have been just passing through. Months later Dad told me he had a furry face stare at him while he was cleaning up one of the sheds to make room for a project of his. He put out some food and then left for the day. We were unsure what ate the food the next day since I knew I had raccoons running around.

Eventually the cat grew accustomed to my dad and began to wait for his daily meal. Dad will talk to him and pet him while he eats. We moved the food bowl away from the dusty area of the shed to the carport. Dad named the cat Morris since he began to appear from under the old MGA.

Morris now waits for me to get home from work every morning for his breakfast and then waits for Dad in the afternoon for lunch and snacks. Morris is usually found in the middle of the driveway sunning himself while he waits.

Morris loves to come into the shop with me and watch me work on whatever project I have for the day. He will follow Dad around and will supervise any task dad is doing. He will also protest if he feels he isn't getting enough attention. Morris is a happy cat and has decided being a pet again isn't so bad.
