Miss Schroedinger a.k.a. Shrödinger's Cat
by Chic Bee
Miss Schroedinger is a beautiful calico feral cat. She adopted us about seven or eight years ago. She is getting much calmer. She now seeks attention, and that often includes some petting, and a snack or two...
She lives in our backyard full time now. She has found a crevasse behind some book boxes. She sleeps there all day, and no longer leaves for parts unknown at the arrival of rosy fingered dawn...
This last year, we put out some comfortable mats on the veranda. One was under a chair that was visible through floor to ceiling windows in the kitchen. another was on a side table, also visible from indoors. We did get her a more enclosed house because some winter nights were below freezing. She loved all these places.
Also in the last two years, she has really come to love being petted. For extended periods!! I had not realized that a skittish and wary feral cat could become so friendly and even confidant in her views of us...
