Monte kept meowing, quiet little wimper, he's usually not talkative like that unless something is wrong but I couldn't figure out what it was. Every time I turned to look, nothing. There he was just lounging, looking maybe a little tired but otherwise perfectly fine. Well turns out it wasn't Monte at all. The last check I was looking right at him, he was being quiet and then I heard it. So I did a search and discovered there was a strange cat in the back room. That would explain it, why for the past couple of days Monte had been working so hard to get my attention and nothing I tried worked to settle him, he just kept staring at me like he does when he wants something. Anyhow I don't know how long we've been harboring a fugitive but suddenly it made sense, why Monte was scarfing down his food, seemed to be eating so much. Also the other day I was checking the cat box and wow almost overnight full. I just attributed it to Monte eating so much more lately. Well the cat seemed healthy, in good shape so obviously someone's taking care of it, and I put it out. It kept dashing back in, didn't want to leave but I was persistent. It's still kind of freaking me out a little bit that there could be another animal living here with me not knowing about it.
