Nature is Back At It Again

…. in the form of a gecko on my bed and a tiny island kitten.

Started the day off by returning to my tent after brushing my teeth and finding a gecko sitting on my bed staring at me. No idea how, or when or why he got in here but I decided to give up immediately after one attempt at getting him out. It’s his tent now, I’ll reside in the wild.

After grabbing my clothes by reaching through the barely cracked zipper, I went for a run on the neighboring resort’s track. There is a small tennis court there that provides the only slab of concrete I have access to on the island, so I often end there to stretch. Today I sat there and noticed a kitten creeping up on me each time I looked up. There are tons of island cats here but most run away when you approach them. I’m not at all a cat person and don’t particularly enjoy touching them, but this cat didn’t care what I wanted. It refused to leave no matter how much I ignored it or moved away.

My post run stretching/chill time was cut short by this kitty who refused to accept any seat besides my lap. He actually grew on me in the 15 minutes that I tried to get him to go away, maybe crazy cat lady is in my future.

I submit nature, you win.
