The cat that decided to make us his home is still with us. He is an old fellow, very mellow, and just wants his head rubbed and his chin scratched. He doesn't scratch or bite but is pretty definite about his likes and dislikes. Although we do not really want him, it has been cold and feeling sorry for him, we have provided a box with some old towels for him to sleep in at night. The rain we had yesterday made the day especially chilly so I gave the cat an extra old towel. He was already in the box so I placed the towel gently over his back. He started purring, curled himself into the new warmth . . . and suddenly jumped out of the bed and glared at the new addition to his stinky, comfy bed. He took himself to the opposite side of the front porch and remained there the rest of the day.Just before we went to bed, I told my daughter to take the new towel out of the bed so the cat could go back to his abode and keep warm. She folding the towel and left it at the side of the porch. On the way to bed, I glanced out and the cat was sleeping on the rejected towel! When I got up in the morning, he was still shivering and sitting on the rejected towel instead of his warm box bed. My daughter said to not feel to sorry for the old cat as she had also checked on him during the night and he was sleeping in the box. I guess he didn't want us to stop feeling sorry for his plight.
