Cat update, partial, and weather
Still haven't managed to get more than a black blur in photographing Lancelot, but here is the other kitty:
who is now named Hotspurr. He is sociable to the point of being obnoxious, unafraid of new situations, very cuddly, and pretty much fills the Gobi-sized hole in the house - almost literally, being about the same size and weight, though of course of different coloring, less chatty (and in much higher-pitched tones when he is), and perhaps even pushier. His elusive companion is going to be a more subtle presence, I expect, but when he feels comfortable he's happy to be held and petted. He is not comfortable when Hotspurr is anywhere in sight, but I'm sure he'll come around eventually.
There will be a lot of cuddling in the next day or so, since temperatures are supposed to drop to near 0 F. tonight. I can't remember when it was last this cold here - and not too long after they put us into zone 7, oh well, so much for all those tender plants people put in. (And I'm thinking sad thoughts about Older Son's landlord's patio garden in Houston, where it's been in the 20s.) Welcome to climate change, people.
Another posting meme post coming sometime today.
ETA: Well, here we go, this is something. Black cats are hard to photograph.
