Ding Returns from the Mothership
I spent another largely sleepless night worrying about Ding, as well as
a large number of real-world things like house repair before refinancing, doing contracts, getting more contracts, etc. After getting to sleep at about 3AM, being cuddled tightly by Mr. Clark, I woke up again at around 6, and decided to get up since I wasn't sleeping. At about 7:30, it became obvious that I wasn't going to get to sleep, so I walked into the kitchen. Suddenly, from the open basement door in the kitchen, a gray streak shot by. It was Ding. Has he been hiding in the basement for a week, and the sightings are of another gray cat? Is there an opening to the basement that I don't know about and he does? Did he get in and out of a window, although there's nothing that would be open at ground level? I've closed the door to the basement tightly and will inspect closely later. I havent WHERE THE H*LL WAS HE? OK, Mothership. You've got somebody up there with a sick sense of humor. My intuition is that he was outside and just got in, as he is extremely excited and still running around. He just started eating, and Mr. Clark sniffed him approvingly. While he's skittish about being touched by more than a fingertip, he seems clean -- if he was outside, he took good care of himself. Maybe the basement outside door wasn't tightly shut and he got in -- I will check later. Anyway, he's loudly running around my office, jumping on and off things, letting his nose be touched, and making loud RROWS. Oops--he now jumped on top of the monitor wanting to be petted, and licked my hand. He's calming down and wanting to be scratched. Might be a little thinner, but he still has a firm tummy, I am mystified. |

Please give the little feller a scritch and a hug from me. If hugs are his thing, that is. |
