The Curious Catbird

I've been noticing that there have been an unusual amount of flies getting into the house.  I just shoo them towards the back door and send them on their merry way.  But, this morning, I woke up to around 20 of them flying around the kitchen - yikes!  And yuck!  Once again, I showed them the back door.  Suddenly, I thought there must be something dead somewhere in the house. Yuck again!  Bob climbed into the attic and I walked around the outside of the house.  Nothing dead, but I did find flies chillin inside one of the basement windows.  Yup, there's a large fly family in one small room of the basement.  The cat has been very insistent about going downstairs for the past few days, so I sent him down.  He hasn't found anything yet, but sure seems to be having fun in part of the house that is usually forbidden to him. Who doesn't love a smelly basement!

I know it sounds stupid to say that I'm exhausted because my cat decided to sleep next to me last night.  But it's true!  He is the cutest little guy, but, man it wears me out fighting for sleeping space with him.  Every time I wake up I'm closer and closer to the edge of the bed and he's sound asleep against the back of my knees.  I feel like I need a nap when I haven't even gotten out of bed yet!  He is very beneficial to the coffee industry.
