some nights are odder than others

so i am watching a marathon of revolution that i have on dvr (and it's not much more appealing than it was for the few minutes i checked it out when it was on originally... typical human war drama, typical power trip mentality, typical stupidity) and jackson comes out cuz happiness woke her panting and she was concerned so we went out to take him for a walk and he had to pee and poo and it is likely that he did not get out enough yesterday cuz both jackson and i skipped his usual walks and did quicky walks and he also did not eat anything until after 6pm cuz he left his breakfast food in his bowl all day cuz it was just dry food and he gets so spoiled since we've been getting him canned food and jackson was sleepy so i told her go back to bed and i took him for a longer walk and there was this white cat, clean and furry and it did not look like a stray at all just sitting on the sidewalk and happiness walked right up and sniffed and the cat just sat there and i petted the cat and it just sat there and we walked on and the cat just sat there... no collar, but a very white white cat way too clean to be living outdoors all the time...

i brought happiness back in and went to take pictures of the cat and there it was still sitting there and it didn't move when the flash went off and i petted it again and when i walked away it followed me halfway home so i went out and brought it a little of happiness's dry food and left it and while there i noticed another cat with a darker coat that appeared a bit more feral and the white cat chased the other one away and came back and sat on the sidewalk outside... i came back in to let happiness back into jackson's room and came here to note this rather odd night...

i just went out to check and it did not eat the food i left it (might be used to a tastier cat diet)... it looks like it is well fed and groomed and it was just sitting on the grass at the corner of the building... the other cat was not in view, definitely more skittish... the white one was definitely human friendly and i could have picked him or her up... so we almost adopted a cat (shhhh, don't tell jackson, she really wants one)...

just kidding, i'll tell her tomorrow and we'll keep an eye out for it...

nite nite :)
