Do we have a pet?

A few weeks ago a cat appeared in our yard. I can't remember the exact first time because it's been showing up for several weeks now. One day the boys were washing the cars and the cat was scratching his claws on the tree. Caleb would talk to him across the yard trying to make conversation with the cat. It has come and gone since then, but lately it has been staying on the porch. We've given him some milk and scraps. This week when JMP opens the door to get the newspaper I hear a loud meeeeeeeeooooowwww. We bought him some food and cat treats yesterday.

Caleb is so funny talking to the cat. When it first showed up he would sit at the window and talk to it for the longest time. He would say Hi cat what's your name? The cat answered with Meow, Meow. I've asked him numerous times the cat's name, and he always tells me Meow Meow. Caleb's also taken a book to the window sill to read to the cat, showing him the pictures as he goes. We'll see how long he stays around!
