Berta and I were getting ready to go to Prescott today to shop at the fleamarket, Costco and maybe a yard sale or two along the way. In fact we spent over an hour at the first yard sale and had to repack the car twice and then leave a small table behind that just wouldn’t fit. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
As we were getting ready to leave we both heard a very loud, distinctive and repeated MEOW. Now Berta has a beautiful all white at least 10 year old cat named Mama that only spends a little time outside and never when Berta’s away from home. Actually Mama spends most of her time sleeping on one of three heating pads or lounging in the sun on a window sill. So Berta followed the MEOW to make sure Mama got back in the house. Only it wasn’t Mama.
This tame little kitty couldn’t be more than two months old and still tries to suckle. However it knew what cat food was and when Berta put food down it was scarfed right up. Also found a convenient cat pan and jumped right in to do its duty.
Well we left it outside with food and water and after our shopping spree came home to hear it again, MEOW. Sure enough it had figured out how to get into the garage. It really has to be someone’s pet as it’s so affectionate. Also very vocal with a diesel purr.

So tomorrow we’ll check around the neighborhood and post a sign at the post office to try to reunite this adorable bundle of fur with its human slave. But in the meantime I have a visitor. Note, again, I said Visitor.

What do think of “Latte”?

Latte is cute, a perfect name! A beautiful cat - if no one claims to be owner, would be adopt this cutie?
Latte is going to be a beautiful cat when she is full grown. She looks like an Angora. Maybe your visitor is there for a reason!
Latte is a fitting name.
It looks like a Latte Gaelyn.
You feed it, you own it, or rather, it owns you. Have fun with your guest. We are all visitors and we all live here, no matter where we are.
I think Latte's a keeper, meself. I adore orange marmalade cats! Latte is divine. Please give him a kiss on his head from his Aunt Debi. I can't have cats (Baylee would eat them) so I live a vicarious cat-lover life online. Latte! What a cutie!
Latte is lovely and what a cutie, and she landed firmly on her paws!
HAHAHAHA1 I'm thinking Latte sounds great. Does your visitor like it? LOL
Well.... I think you have a kitty. And it looks quite comfortable in its new setting. Someone will just have to babysit while you are in Africa. =)
This is a cutie alright. If it was so hungry it must have been on its own for a long time. I hope it finds and owner.
Gaelyn, we never find our animal friends....they always find us, they just let us think we have found them! Latte is such a cutie and I also believe a keeper! Seems to me the own has been found.
Big Smiles!
You don't name 'visitors' or do you? a delightful story waiting to hear more.
'A ticket to ride' isn't it funny how a word or sentence can be and/or is already a song--or is it the other way around. MB
Now what happens if? Would you be able to resist?
It is suh a little cutie.
I don't know what your laws are regarding cats and dogs in Nat. Pks., here they are persona non grata.
Have to agree with Carolyn. Latte has found its owner already. Wish you both many happy moments together.
You must exude the neighborhood mom of critters, Gaelyn:) Who comes tomorrow?
Latte looks beautiful, and the name fits....so, why don't you travel with kitty? :)
I think Latte is a great name for this beautiful "visitor"!
Handsome, well-mannered and affectionate? A girl could do a lot worse Gaelyn!
;-)
Absolutely Beautiful...how blessed you are!
I think Latte has decided you're its slave.
Gaelyn: What a cute little kitty, may be a new addition.
Beautfiul kitten! I couldn't say no to that lovely face!

Latte is a great name for YOUR new adorable furball. :)
Latte's a great name. If no human slave turns up, I think you might take on that role.
