Home Again

Smokey, my old tom-cat, appeared again today for the first time in over a month. He was skin and bones, but otherwise seemed to be in good condition. He ate like he was starved to death, then laid down and let me give him a good combing. He has now had his second helping of food and seems to be contented sleeping at our front entrance. I still can’t help but wonder where he spends his time when he wanders off for extended periods of time. He certainly wasn’t fed well while he was away.
