PC the porch cat

Every morning I would find her asleep on my porch furniture, and when I opened the door to grab the paper she would take off. I’d see her around the neighborhood and many times she’d come close like she wanted to be petted, but if you got close, she’d take off again. I was pretty sure she had once belonged to a family that had lived up the street, and when they got a dog the 4 cats they had took off. I’d seen the dog chase the cats on multiple occasions. One very hot summer day as I was working in the yard I saw the dog chase her under my car. She looked very thin and hungry. I’d started calling her PC for Porch Cat. That day I shared my tuna with her and brought her some water. After that she’d come more frequently hoping for food. I bought some cheap dry cat food at the store and left some on the porch for her. When the weather turned cool she started tentatively coming into the house. It wasn’t long after that that she became a permanent fixture! That was 3 years ago and PC is a wonderful addition to our house! A loving cat who prefers the indoors during the cold winter months!
