What’s with me dreaming about cats lately – they’re not really my pet of choice anyway.

However, I’ve always been crazy about other people’s orange cats.

This morning, in real life (LOL), we actually had a long-awaited thunderstorm in Dallas come through around 4:30 am.

I went to open a few of the windows to get some real, cool air into this house and briefly enjoy the smell and sound of the rain outside.

I was awoken, again in real life, by a loud bang in the front room, so I went to check it out. Basically, our large fan had fallen over for whatever reason. I braced it and set it back straight and went back to bed.

Okay, here’s the dream, which I thought was real for a while. Just as I was awoken by the loud bang from the fan, I was “awoken”, but in my dream, by some faint cries.

I went outside of the room to investigate only to see an orange kitten hanging on for dear life on the windowsill, soaking wet from our real Dallas thunderstorm in the middle of the night. “Who knows how it got there”, was what I was thinking, but it didn’t matter. I just needed to grab this poor, little soul and bring it in from the scary thunder, lighting and soaking wet!

It was very appreciative and snuggled me. Now, if you don’t already know, we have 3 miniature schnauzers, not with us at the present moment – they’re visiting family right now…LOL…

…So, we’ve never really wanted a cat of any kind, especially with the pooches, and my hubby and I just aren’t “cat people” really.

Anyway, we decided to keep it, an ongoing story of my life (LOL), until we could maybe find the owners or something.

Then, the kitten started biting me, not just playfully, but as though it was so starving, it couldn’t help it.

My husband got up, after me waking him up to this situation I just discovered, and gave the kitten some leftover meat we had, in the dream, because we didn’t happen to have any milk…

The kitten ate the meat as quickly as it could and seemed famished! Every time it got hungry, it would latch on to my hand or arm biting the mess out of me!!! It was breaking my skin. I was getting quite annoyed at this little furry thing.

This is where the dream took more of a “dream-like” idea. All of a sudden, our mini schnauzers were there with us in our kitchen and barking at the door at someone walking by…The kitten was so intrigued by what they were doing that it wanted to join in with them and was following the dogs around trying to act like them, but it couldn’t figure out how to bark…It was too funny…

…All the while I’m watching it closely to be sure it doesn’t bite one of our dogs like it was biting me…LOL…

When I told my husband my dream I had, he told me he dreamt of cats too – evil cats that he had to kill because they were biting people and making them sick…in a nutshell…Disturbing to him because he is such an animal lover.

What’s interesting to me is that Kenney rarely remembers his dreams at all, on the even rarer occassion that he does have one.

Hmmm…I had to shake myself out of it when I awoke this morning, thinking that this dream could have been true, it was so congruent with what really happened prior to it last night with the thunderstorm and all.
