Spider

Be careful of what you might find inside an old building.

I never would have thought that salvaging an old shed would be morally challenging…but what do you do when you find the half-grown cat (starving) that lives in the shed you just demolished, crying like he just lost the only home he ever knew (which he did), shivering in the well-below-freezing winter air? Do you leave it, with a survival-of-the-fittest-tough heart? Or do you do like we did and take it home, feed it, have it dewormed and neutered and vaccinated?

Well, we are soft-hearted suckers, for sure…but he IS a cute cat. And he will have an important job — to continue living in the shed (in a new location, obviously), and to eat all the spiders so that I can get to the garden tools without fear.
