Fang has gone home!

Fang (whose real name we now know to be "Pumpkin") has gone back to his home! He has been hanging out around here for the past few months, and I started feeding him when the weather became colder... and then brought him inside after he sat at the door, wet-through and snow-covered, crying for shelter... since then he has not wanted to leave, despite Muffin being very unimpressed about having another cat on her territory. He is a sleek, gentle black cat, very stretchy (pick him up in the middle and his legs stick to the floor and stretch forever, like a cartoon cat.) He really needed a home without a Muffin spitting and hissing at him, and I needed to be able to work without a cats' chorus singing in the background--so I posted him on Craigslist.

And amazing luck--his owner just happened to see the ad. Pumpkin aka Fang had been missing from home, about a mile from here, since August--and was feared gone forever. Not so! He was sitting on my chaise-longue, sleeping a lot, eating more than a lot, and generally chilling out. And trying to ignore Muffin.

So he has gone back to his own home and apparently ran straight to his own bed as if he'd never been away. And Muffin can stick to aggressing the toy iguana, not another cat.

Glad he's back where he belongs! Happy story!
