A Black cat crossed my path

A day in the life of me:
I was sleeping soundly in my bed only to be awoken by "HONEY!! Dawn!! come help me!!!  It got in!!"  Turns out my kind hearted husband heard an animal crying, thought it was our cat and let it in the house.  It turned out to be a black cat which after seeing it he declared "it is evil, trying to get me".  I think he was joking at this point but he did see it as in intruder that he needed to remove from his home. My reply to him was "what is it?" he replied "a strange wild black cat".  The strange wild black cat was smallerish, had a collar and was trying to rub against his legs.  I told him to "pick it up and put it outside".  He didn't want to touch it's evilness and let it walk around the living room while he watched it. 

Next phase of the morning fun.  Our cat Spot came up from the basement only to witness "evil black cat" in his living room and all cat hell breaks loose.  Screaming (both the cats and my dear husband), hissing and a real cat fight.  I then (from my bed still) tell husband to (herd our cat upstairs).  Husband herds our cat with an exercise ball (that Spot the cat is terrified of) up the stairs.  By this point I had gotten out of bed, pushed our cat into my bedroom and shut the door.  I then come downstairs to witness "evil black cat" myself.

Evil black cat (EBC for short) was in fact black and super cute.  He/she had greenish yellow eyes and was very friendly.  I then proceeded to open the door on the deck and put him/her outside.  Crisis averted, EBC gone to wander home and Spot our cat can rein his domain in peace.  I think husband is a bit worse for wear as he generally likes his mornings to be peaceful and quiet.  Oddly enough he also had an incident a year or so ago with a black dog that followed him home after a morning run!
