We seem to have been befriended by a local cat. This actually started about a month after we moved into the house but today she decided she really wanted to get into the house and not leave.

She was waiting outside the house when I was leaving for work and as soon as I opened the door, she ran in. I followed her upstairs and carried her out. I went back into the house to get my bag and keys but as soon as I opened the door again she was back in.

For some reason the cat seems to really like us. If she sees us from the other end of the street she'll rush up to us. She often sits on the bins outside our house, trying to attract our attention. Ocasionally when I'm walking to work she will lie down on the pavement in front of me and roll around, as if she's trying to stop me going any further.
