standing at my doorstep, looking up at me. She mewed, as if to say, "Finally! I've been waiting here all night for you!" and started to come in. Instead, I joined her in the hall and asked her where she'd come from. She wouldn't tell me. She just kept saying, "mew!" and rubbing against my legs. I reached down to pet her, and she looked like she'd never been so happy in her life. I knelt down, and she tried as hard as she could to climb into my sort-of-lap. She looked at me like she could never love anyone more.
I was smitten. (Everyone together now! "Smitten by a kitten?" Yes.) She was so cute and so loving, and I'd been lonely and sad all weekend, so she was like a little gift from Heaven. Sadly, of course, I had to say good-bye to her, since I had to leave for work. Besides, I hope she has a family of her own she needed to get back to. But I'm glad she came to visit me for a day.
*Note: The picture shown here is not the actual kitten from the story. I was too busy petting her to pull out my camera. But this shows exactly what she looked like, right down to the kink in her tail.

Aw, what a sweet kitty! There's a yellow kitty that plays in our yard, and I always ask William if we can keep it, but he wisely says no. But I still like to watch Yellow Kitty.
