The new cat at Wildernest

This is the cat that Bev enticed with food and then ran off to Pennsylvania leaving the poor cat to decide between us and Alex. You know how that would go! So after ignoring it until the really cold weather hit, we finally did feed the cat and now she's (gender??) here to stay. Her color makes her a likely candidate for a name like "Smoky" or "Shadow" - but the way she acts when we're outside makes her a definite shadow. If you lift your foot to take a step, chances are good that it will hit the cat before hitting the ground again. I haven't walked the trail without her since she became "domesticated". (She was obviously someone else's cat before.) And she doesn't just follow, she checks out the chapel and the treehouse - leading us up the steps to the treehouse. If you don't recognize where she is in the picture - it's halfway up to the crow's nest!
