Today we learned something good that made us a little sad. "belle" the cat we met yesterday morning is really "Spencer" and belongs to the neighbor three houses down.
we made this discovery this afternoon just after i picked up my daughter from her tap/tumbling classes. as we were saying good-bye to a classmate and her father, we started to walk back home, just a few houses down the block from the dance school.
as we passed the first house after the school, we say a grey stripped cat, it was "belle" from yesterday morning! we knelt down as not to scare "her" off, and the cat came right up to us. it greeted us just as it did yesterday, it was even purring. my daughter was soooo happy.
just as we were getting ready to go home, a neighbor walked up and said hello. we asked if they knew who the cat belonged to and she said it was her cat "Spencer" . my daughter could not believe what she had just heard. not that the cat belonged to someone already, but that she was a he. this meant it could no longer be a girl, hence, no longer a "princess".
we told our neighbor of yesterdays event. she was very grateful of our care for her cat and told us that any time we wanted to say hello to "Spencer" we could come by anytime. when my daughter said she wished she could still call the cat "belle" our neighbor said that that would be just fine.
i guess as long as we don't call the cat late for dinner, we can call it whatever we like!
