of cats and rings

[threeplusfire]

This morning I left for work, running later than usual. As I locked the front door there was an insistent meowing from the stairs. A dark grey cat with long fur and green eyes came running. The cat was quite friendly, and talkative. I don't think I've ever seen it outside before. I thought maybe the cat was hungry, so I gave it some salmon in a package that I had sitting in the cupboard. I wonder where the cat came from, and what the story is.

My friends Jim and Elisa are engaged. Jim, ever the hopeless romatic, proposed on Christmas Eve at a vacation by the sea. I am so glad for them, as they seem so suited and happy together.
