This post is part of the Celebrate The Small Things blog hop managed by Lexa Cain where we celebrate some of the wonderful things that have happened to us in the past week, no matter how small.

This week I'm celebrating the cat. Here's the backstory:This past December, just as my brother walked in through my front door, this black and white house cat strolled right into my foyer and started meowing. We kept it for the night, and then two, and once the temperature rose to the mid 50s we let it back out.

It came back the next day. The temperature had dropped again, so we kept it inside once more.

I went door-to-door in my neighborhood for a two block radius from my home in search of anyone who may have lost a cat. I put up signs at two local animal hospitals, and some posts online on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter, and even on some other sites where people search for lost pets.
Nothing. We figured the owner must have abandoned it. It's too friendly to be a street cat. I didn't have the heart to toss it out again.
