Which is not nearly as bad as years past. *crossed fingers* My mood is always improved by seeing Darth Katie and Domino share the cat-tree. Katie isn't much of a climber, so she takes the lower bunk, and Domino leans over from the top to watch her, talk to her, and occasionally pretend to poke at her with a white paw. Katie demonstrates her affection by not destroying him. ;) She has also started to grok the concept of toys (jingle balls are the latest favorite) and that being picked up by two-legs does not mean instant death. I still think she'd be less stressed as someone's one and only cat, but she is making progress.
The patio rats have returned. I think only my herd of felines is preventing them from coming inside -- they take shelter in the utility shed out there and scamper out to eat seed that spills from the bird feeder. I've called the office about them -- I hate having any creature harmed, but I can't mess with wild rats. I've seen two, which probably means there are ten. Not good.
I'm working on the next bit of Snips. Wish me luck!
