I had a dream the other night that Mel got out of the house and I didn't know it until I looked at the picture windows and saw her outside. That was the only part of the dream I remember.

I dreamed that Crawl and I moved into a new apartment complex that had an unused basement underneath that had been closed off years ago, although the building owners were attempting to reopen it and renovate it. The reason it was probably closed off is because it was one huge shared basement (which wouldn't work in reality, since it was too easy for stuff to get stolen.)

For some reason the dream didn't explain, we were babysitting DJ at our new place (just DJ, none of Crawl's family's other cats). He must have been having trouble getting along with some of our own cats and went to find a place to hide from them. He disappeared and we couldn't find him. We theorized that he may have found a way into the basement, and indeed that's where he went. It turned out that the building owners, in order to renovate the basement, had been using the entrance from our apartment and they left it open.

We went down to get DJ, and we saw a cat and assumed it to be him, but when we got close, it growled at us and ran away, and we saw that it was actually gray, not black and white like DJ. At first, we didn't think much of it, it was like, "Oh, there's a cat down here. Must have come from one of the other apartments." So we kept looking for DJ and found him on an old bed, hiding underneath some blankets. At that point, we noticed that the gray cat wasn't the only other cat down there. There were, in fact, dozens of feral cats living in a huge colony, and there were a few kittens under the blankets with DJ.

We took DJ back up to our apartment, but somehow all the feral cats followed us back and got into our house. As much as I liked them and would have liked to have kept them, there were WAY too many, so we got a bunch of boxes and cat carriers and were trying to capture all of them.

We had to be careful because some of them looked so similar to DJ, Hermes, and Pepper that we had to be careful not to capture them instead of the ferals. We also were aware that we had to be careful that any calicos we capture were not Caramel (the dream implied that Mel was around, although I don't recall ever actually seeing her. Pepper, Hermes, and DJ were all out walking amongst the other cats. Maybe Mel was hiding.)

Anyway, some of the cats we captured before the dream ended included:

A cat that was mostly black, but had some traces of Russian blue in it. The dream implied that this cat was the mother of some of the kittens, and for some reason, we named her "Chicago", but I don't know why.

A very fat kitler. Looked like a cat I once knew named "Jimmy", except Jimmy didn't have the kitler mustache.

A very fat, deep orange tabby that only had half a tail.

A cat that was green. I know that doesn't make any sense, but its fur was yellow with a green tint.

And several small tabby kittens.

There was one kitten that had a reddish back, and a very short pink tail that I was considering keeping. I was worried that the shelter wouldn't take so many cats and what we'd do with them all if they wouldn't, because we already had about 8 trapped by the time the dream ended and there were still a lot more running around.
