LOL! That was hilarious, Judith. This reminds me of something Frank did this
summer. We had a full house out on the island, and when my brother came out
for the weekend, he ended up sleeping in a tent because there wasn't room
anywhere else. The problem was, he put it up in the one space in the Great
Litterbox outside that Frank had adopted for his own. The following morning,
my brother was still sleeping in the tent, when we saw Frank saunter over to
the door of it and peer in through the net opening. He sat down and stared
into the tent for a long time. We were wondering if he was thinking we had
provided him with a collapsible outdoor toilet, but what was that hoomin
doing, lying there? Finally he sauntered off a bit and did his business in
another spot.

I'm also reminded of when my nephew put up the tent in the way of Frank's
father's, Panther's, morning exercise track. Panther's eyesight was not the
best in his later years. He used to rush back and forth between the two
houses every morning. This morning, he didn't realise that this huge grey
bubble had appeared on his route, and he ran right against the tent - and
collided with my nephew's head. My nephew kept grumbling all day about being
awakened at an ungodly hour by cats running into your head.

ROFLOL! I can just imagine what those two boys thought had crawled into
the tent with them. Thanks for the story, Judith.

That's so cute - I love the part about the 2 boys arguing over who gets
to have Sweep sleep with him. How old were they?
