So Terri Berry calls one day and tells me that she has cornered a kitten and she wants to bring it to my house for safe keeping. I tell her that it is fine with me but the cat will have to live outside, but Bug and I will take care of it.
Bug is so excited at the prospect of taking care of a cat. She decides that she wants to name the cat Lily. About an hour Terri Berry brings over the cat. We carefully take the kitten, which has been housed in a make shift box, to the back yard. We remove the lid, all talking to the cat the whole time in our "there's a baby animal so I need to be high pitched and squeaky" voices. As soon as the lid is removed, the cat, now named Lily, proceeds to leave the box, run across the yard, climb the fence and disappear. Well darn! Bug is upset to see Lily go, but we tell her that she will be back soon.
So fast forward a few months later, we pull into the driveway and a cat runs across the driveway. I see her! Bug sees her! Sure enough, it is Lily.
Bug: Mommy look it is Lily O'Sullivan!
Me: What?!
Bug: Yeah Mommy, that is our cat - Lily O'Sullivan.
Well, ok!
