This morning, I woke up to find a stray cat sleeping in my bed—thanks to my front door blowing open during last night’s windstorm.
I’ve mentioned this little guy before. His name is Sam, a sweet stray who usually visits me for a few hours each evening. He’ll wait patiently outside the side door until I let him in, then curl up on the couch, eat a bit in the kitchen, take a short nap, and head out again.
But last night, the weather turned ugly. The rain came down hard, and the wind howled. I stepped outside to grab something from my truck when I heard a faint cry from down the street. I called out, “Sam!” and, to my surprise, he came running—soaked to the bone, dripping, and shivering.
He followed me inside without hesitation. I dried him off, brushed out the mud, and gave him some food. After a warm nap, he slipped back out into the night. I went to bed a few hours later.
When my alarm went off at 5 a.m., I sat up and felt something soft at my side. Still half-asleep, I reached out and petted it. A little meow answered back. I switched on the light—and there was Sam, curled up in my bed. He stretched, purred, and started kneading the blanket as if to say, *I live here now.*
I walked around trying to figure out how he’d gotten in, until I noticed the front door halfway open—the wind must have blown it wide during the storm.
Before I left for work, I sat on the couch for a moment, and Sam hopped up beside me. He pressed his paw against my leg, as if to hold me there just a little longer.
Not sure who rescued whom anymore.💗
