Introducing MuMu.
Last September Margot and I returned from a soccer practice to be greated by a cat. He was not like the normal feral cats we see, he was rubbing our legs and being very affectionate. Very pet-like so we let him in the house so we could try and find his owner. He immediately ran to the toilet and pee’d in the toilet.

We posted photos, and had several people check in. Apparently missing black cats are common. But he wasn’t a match. Checked for an ID chip but he didn’t have one.

Hazel was instantly in love. Margot too. But I told the girls he wasn’t going to stay. When we adopted Penny and Prudence during COVID we sadly had to re-home them because it was triggering my asthma. So it was to be temporary and I turned on all the filters.

Well, we never did find the owner. And 5+ months later for whatever reason this particular cat doesn’t trigger me. One cat vs two? Different dander? Who knows?
So it looks like he is staying with us.

Hazel has a phone, but any pictures she takes are uploaded into my cloud photo storage. There are literally hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of photos of mumu. If hazel or Margot come home, Mumu gets a more enthusiastic greeting than Kim or I get.

He is pretty cute and affectionate. I’ve been sitting in my chair for 45 minutes meaning to get up and go to bed, but he’s asleep on my lap and I don’t want to disturb him. Lol.

We have one of those flip down door stoppers on our bedroom door. When the door is shut, it’s on the hallway side. Mumu has learned he can flip the stopper down and bat at it over and over making an impressively loud noise. He has somehow decided that he likes food at 4 a.m. and this is his way to get me out of bed. I don’t like that part.
But it’s nice most of the time.
