The Dennisons left on Wednesday, which for me, was a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day. I have been praying for them to hear clearly when the Lord wanted them to go, and I prayed for all to go smoothly with their exit. The Lord graciously answered those prayers, even though the time frame isn’t anything I wanted!
Mary Jane asked me if I would take their cat, Meri, and of course I would. I’ve gone long without a cat, and have missed having one. Meri knows me, and my flat is one of her hang-outs. Here, she decided that she wanted to come inside for some reason:
Meri is a bit of a free spirit, so I’ve been a little concerned with how her repatriation would go. Wednesday, David, one of Mary Jane’s kids (and Meri’s human) brought her down the hill while I brought her food. I was hoping that if she knew her food had moved, she’d be more inclined to come.
Around dinner time, I went up to the Dennisons with a tiny bit of warmed chicken to entice Meri down the hill, and it worked. She scarfed down the food, and made herself at home all night.
I let her out this morning, and went looking for her at lunch. She’s used to coming and going at will, and I’m not always home. I brought her down, she ate, and then made herself at home. In my chair.
And then she found a place to hide during the thunderstorm.
I think we still have a ways to go, but the repatriation isn’t going badly.
