Sunny Sunday with Stormy

Sebastian's been a bit miffed for the past few days...

Little Miss Thing (or Stormy, as Lee has named her!)


because of this little lady.

You see, a torrential storm hit the KC metro the other night. Buckets of rain, howling winds...and a plaintive meow.

Amy told Lee, "there's a cat out there!"
"What?"
"There's a cat outside!"

Out dashes Lee, into the pouring rain.

After a rather comical chase, a major mud bath and one seriously bashed hand, in comes Lee with this little lady. Lee showered and bandaged his hand while Amy settled their guest in the office.

Once back in bed, Lee just couldn't stand the thought of this poor thing all alone in a strange new environment. So he grabbed the blanket off the bed, went into the office and slept on the floor with their little feline refugee. What man would do this for a strange kitty? Amy thinks he's an amazing man! (Oh, and he named her Stormy, too.)

No, they're not going to keep her - Sebastian put his paw down about that! Besides, we're sure she's somebody's pet.  So we printed flyers and Amy distributed them in the hope that her owners would see one.

Amy thinks it's possible she escaped from someone's apartment (perhaps when the police kicked in the doors) during the fire.

Sebastian is not amused...though they have progressed from mutual hissing to the Barely Civil Cold Stare.

We're hoping her owner sees the flyer soon. Amy & I hung out with her for a bit Thursday night, and she's a sweetheart. Still kittenish - but friendly, playful and affectionate.

If all else fails, we know Wayside Waifs will take her in.

  3. Stormy - you were so lucky to have picked this house to hang around because there are not too many oomans (other than in out blogging world) that would rescue a kitty from the pouring rain, bring them inside out of the cold, and sleep with them on the floor. You chose the house of "kitty guardians."

  4. I hope you find Stormy's family soon. She'll be so scared with the storm and being lost and everything. And who knows? Maybe... just maybe... Sebastien will come around. Stranger things have happened.

  5. Sebastian... I'm soooo very sorry. I keep misspelling your name and I should know better. The peeps even once lived with a cat named Sebastian. He was before my time. Please forgive me. I'm sorry.

  7. We saw the story on FB about Stormy and are betting that someone, escaping from the fire, just left her because the relative they went to stay with that night didn't like cats. Not everyone is as kind as Amy & Lee and the rest of us in the anipal community. Pawpurrayers for Stormy.

    1. It's quite possible. Amy has a twitter friend - local to KC - whose mom might want her. So if no one speaks up...!

  10. Stormy is not only sweet, she is smart - she knew who to go to for shelter! Amy and Lee are awesome humans for taking her in and helping her. I hope she finds her home - I keep picturing some human missing her badly! But at least she has a place to go to if no one steps up.

    1. He didn't look too terribly put out the other night when I was over there. Just miffed when Lee or Amy give "HER" special time in the Other Room, LOL!

  12. We hope you find her home, her people must be worried sick. There are online places to post found animals, too. Good luck! How nice you are to help her!

  13. Stormy is a very lucky girl to be taken in and cared for by Amy & Lee. And Amy & Lee are very special people to take in a stray cat when they are in the midst of their own personal turmoil. I hope Stormy finds her original home, or a new, loving forever home.
