Miss Tango

Pam gave me a cat! Evidently someone dropped the cat off some time during the winter months.  Sadly that happens a lot. Pam gave her shelter beneath her house, but the cat really wants to live inside. She thought we could give her more attention and care, since she was apparently once a housecat. .
 
I named her Tango because she has dramatic coloring and Dad has taken to calling her Miss Tango. She is getting friendlier by the day, and enjoys all the scratching behind her ears and petting. I was able to catch her in this video. Unfortunately you can't tell from the video, but her coloring is spectacular--principally black, grey, and orange. The orange is much more noticeable in the sunlight.  That makes her a tortoiseshell cat--a tortie. She has a half masked face--black.

 I think she will adjust to us in time. She was pretty frightened when Pam put her in my car, and when we arrived here she ran off and hid. Several hours later, when there was still no sign of her, Dad told me he was sure that she must be half way home. But  2 days later I was startled when she climbed out of her hiding place under the workbench in the garage while I was moving boxes about.  I guess she was just frightened of the new surroundings, and probably afraid of the boxer across the street.  He has come over and marked his territory already. 

So now we have a cat.
