Here Kitty Kitty *update‚mystery solved!*

It's the third day in a row of heatwave, and today is the hottest day yet. I was walking around outside around 10 a.m. and encountered a cat. The cat ran up a tree. He seemed pretty at home up there, so we're leaving him be. 

* Update: Our friend Camille was right—this was probably a bengal cat, and now we know where it must have come from. We finally met our new neighbors in the rental house next door, and learned that there was someone living there for just a few weeks who raised exotic cats.
