“Oh! Looks like we got a full house!”
When Addy bought her new house,
“Hi!”
she didn't know it came with a bunch of kitty roommates.
These cats thought Addy's house was their house.
“It's a new kitty cat!”
But there weren't always a bunch of cats in Addy’s yard.
It all started with one.
Polly.
“Taking a nap in my yard right now.”
“Like, I've never been this relaxed in my entire life.”
When she first spotted Polly, Addy didn't know what was going on.
No one told her this home came with a cat.
She was like, “Um, where's your family?”
“Are you sure my house is your home?”
And Polly was like, “Yeah, no, I'm yours now.”
“You'll get used to it.”
Once Addy noticed Polly wasn't going anywhere,
she decided, well, maybe it was OK for Polly to live here.
It was just one cat, and her yard was a safe place for her to hang out.
And it was nice to have Polly around!
It was like she already made a new neighborhood friend.
But one new cat is one thing,
because one morning, Addy woke up to discover
Polly decided to have herself a party.
And Polly was like, “Yeah, let me introduce you to the Pretty Kitty Committee.”
“Obviously, I'm Polly.”
“This is Clint.”
“Here's Randy. That Sandy. Mickey.”
“And of course, that's Goo.”
Addy couldn't believe it.
She now had six cats in her yard!
Where did they all come from?
But maybe this was just a little get-together.
These were all of Polly's friends.
They'd all leave soon and go on their merry way.
So there's nothing to worry about, right?
Right?! Wrong.
Because this wasn't just a quick little party.
Addy soon realized these cats weren't going anywhere,
and Addy’s backyard had become their new home.
“Oh, that's your brother, huh? He looks exactly like you.”
“Just going to sit here while they eat”
“so that maybe they can get a little bit more used to me.”
Addy didn't want to make them leave.
Clearly, they had nowhere else to go.
But she couldn't just invite them in either.
These were outdoor cats.
The backyard was their home.
So if these cats were going to live outside, Addy knew what she had to do.
She was gonna turn the backyard into a pretty kitty paradise.
It was time to give her yard a little TLC!
Tender, love and cat!
She gave the cats some fun fence steps
and a bunch of toys to play with.
Her yard had officially been catified.
“Oh, I'm glad I put these chairs out.”
“You guys look like you're having a little garden party.”
But Addy wasn't done just yet.
She knew the yard was great,
but what if it rained or the cats got chilly?
That's when she decided to turn her shed into the ultimate cat shack.
What was meant to be Addy's home gym became the coolest kitty clubhouse.
“We’re eating in the shed today because of the rain last night.”
“Oh, they're so cute. Open the doors nice and wide.”
And the Pretty Kitty Committee fully approved.
You never know what you'll get when you move into a new home.
Sometimes it comes with a swimming pool or a tree house!
Or, if you're Addy, a ton of cats!
Now Addy has a bunch of new feline friends,
and Polly and the gang not only have a backyard paradise,
they finally have a home to call their own.
“Hi, Mickey!”
