Leaping Cats!
It's Leap Day. It only comes every four years so make the most of it. We're spending ours evaluating a potential new member of the team...
Scratch found a cat last night - or maybe a cat found him. It's unclear whether Boston Babydoll Manor has a new permanent resident or not. He's certainly friendly (the cat, not Scratch) and pretty clearly house-broken (they both are, but we're still talking about the cat). We think he was someone's house cat who got out and has been on the street for a couple of weeks. Scratch took him to the local animal hospital this morning and, unfortunately, he doesn't have a subcutaneous locater chip (again, the cat. Scratch does a chip; a hold-over from his black-out drinking days). We've contacted a bunch of local shelters and the police to see if anyone has reported a cat as missing but nothing yet. After the snow clears, we'll put up some posters in the neighborhood where we found the cat.
Until such a time as we decide he's sticking around, Scratch is just referring to the cat as "the cat". Naming something is a sign of serious commitment and he has some issues with commitment (this time we mean Scratch. The cat seems like he'd be perfectly happy to stick around for a while).
