A weird thing happened this morning. When I woke up and came out of my room, I saw Lilith sitting on the landing and said "Hello baby!" - then saw it wasn't Lilith at all, but another black cat who'd come in through the cat flap. Lilith was sitting further away at the top of the stairs! But I had to double check which one was her, because I didn't have my contact lenses in. The cat I'd initially greeted had more orangey-brown eyes, whereas Lilith's are bright green/yellow, like a Granny Smith or Golden Delicious apple. Also she bounces, unlike this other cat who had a limp. Anyway, he wouldn't move when I tried to shoo him, so I had to physically pick him up, which he didn't seem to object to! Lilith wasn't happy, she was hissing and growling at him. He wouldn't go back out through the cat flap, so I had to physically open the door, but he kept coming back in! In the end, I blocked the cat flap with the bin and gave him an hour to go away. I've no idea whose he is - like Lilith, he's collarless and I'd never seen him before or since. Just weird that the intruder was very similar in looks to Lilith!
