Interesting Morning

And only yesterday the human was complaining about cats and kittens taking boring pills...
First the back story -
For the last couple of years, but really very infrequently, a black and while male cat has visited our porch. He would roll at our human's feet, and try to come in our front door, but he was clean and well fed looking, and so she'd give him a pet, but not worry about him being homeless.
This week, he came back, and while Cyrrie watched indignantly, our human petted him again as she left for work. Not to worry, she said to Cyrrie through the window.
To worry: The next day, when she started her car, the black and while cat ran our from under it and into the back yard...
Oh dear.
This morning, around 5:30, the human awoke to a Wooooooooo, Woooooooooooo, Woooooooooooooooooooo... Fearing a smacking incident, she got up quickly, saying, as usual, Be good, be sweet, while (blindly) looking around for the guilty party/ies.
She finally found Banshee in the all time favorite window spot (back of the "new" couch) looking out and defending her turf, Woooooooooo...
And outside, in the dark, on the window sill, was, not the usual squirrel, but the black and while cat, nose to the glass.
Well!
First things first: Banshee - Would this trigger an asthma attack? So the human pulls her away from the window for sweet/calm talk and petting. No good, though, Bansh is obsessed as well as outraged.
So then it's quick to the kitchen to pop the tops of Fancy Feast cans - and for the first time ever, the kittens do not come running. They do come, eventuality, all of them, and while they are having their earlier-than-usual breakfast, the human slips a plate of FF out to the porch, hoping that the b&w cat will also have breakfast, and then go home! Then she goes back to bed.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
This time she picks Banshee up and totes her to the bedroom, closing the door.
But you know what a closed door is to a cat, so eventually the human gives up on sleeping.
The b&w cat is still on the windowsill, this time being watched by Cloud and Cyrano. With kittens on guard, Banshee seems to relax for a while. So the human starts to make coffee, etc.
Wooooooooooooooooo...
This time Banshee and the b&w cat are looking at each other through the dining room window. And this time, the human's fears are realized when Banshee starts to gack. Amazingly, she stops when picked up and petted (and this is after a 2 day boycott of medicine).
But, Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Little b&w cat - Where is your home, and why aren't you there??
And you know what they say about interesting times!
