we're hers

i think ray spends more time with us then her other family now. she spends every nite curled up on our bed (usually getting more room on the bed then the 2 of us together) and she hangs around the house in the morning and evening too. last nite we decided to go for a walk down to the creek since it was such a warm nite. just after we left the driveway we heard ray running thru the front yard between our house and what we think is her house. we gave her a little scratch and then started walking off. she then started following us (she's done this once before). we just kept ignoring her thinking she might just stop and wait for us but she followed us a few hundred metres!! it was really funny cuz we could hear her bell and i kept looking over my shoulder and ray was running along the curb just a few metres behind us like she was a puppy or something. fortunately she stopped when the road took a slight bend. we figured she'd be there waiting for us when we got back. we ended up looping up the creek and coming down another side street right by our house. i told zac to jingle his keys (our call to get her to come). nothing. then a few seconds later while zac was opening the door i heard a faint bell sound and saw ray running along the footpath towards us from back where we left her. she had waited for us!!
so then she came in for a bit, asked to go out. came in again, asked to go out. i jingled the keys when i went to bed but nothing so i figured she was happy being out for the nite (her other people put her out at nite). at 3:45am the wind picked up and a small rain shower started. i woke up to the frantic cries of a cat at the door so i got up to let her in and a damp ray darted into the house and settled herself on the bed. she's back in bed again curled up with zac now (lazy cat). she knows who's her servants though. i'm sure her other family wouldn't have got out of bed to let a whiny cat in during the midddle of the nite.
