Black Cat, and Pumpkins

Thursday night we were carving pumpkins with the Fulks’. We love this new tradition. Pumpkin carving has taken on an entirely different depth. We have gone from carving your customary pumpkin with the triangle eyes, and nose, and toothy grin; to an elaborate layout of patterns consisting of cats, ghosts, spiders, etc. Yes, carving pumpkins is not as easy as it used to be, but the results are much more impressive.

As we were carving these elaborate pumpkins, little Tyli (who is 3), said she had a magic pumpkin. She chose to carve her “magic pumpkin” into a kitty. Tyli loves animals, so not a surprise.

However, the surprise came later that night when we opened the door to the garage to find a little black kitten sitting there. This cute little kitten, ran into our house, and was adored by all (especially little Ty). She stayed at our house the entire night.

Well, this cute little kitten has not left our house. She has affectionately been named Midnight by the kids. I hope someone is not frantically looking for their little lost kitten. She has taken over Snowball’s bed, litter box, food, and water. She loves people and tries to jump in the car, and come in our house.

We are all enamored with her charming personality, but wonder if there was magic in the pumpkin carving, or just a misplaced Halloween cat.
