It’s been drizzling/raining since at least 3 a.m. Scamper showed up for breakfast. I think she was delighted to discover that breakfast was, in fact, dry. She was also pleased that the living room and dining area were perfectly dry. She seemed a bit surprised, but after eating, she sat herself down and took a bath to straighten her fur. It was quite wet underneath–all that long grass she had to walk through to get here. She wasn’t too wet on top, but it was still raining, so that had to be re-arranged as well.

After eating and bathing, she looked outside, but it was still raining. Much to our surprise, she decided that staying inside wasn’t the worst idea in the world. It’s been about an hour. She and Junior are running back and forth, playing some sort of chase. Of course when one catches the other, there’s a bit of hissing and paw waving. Junior always squeaks when this happens. It’s a funny little noise, sort of a “nanny, nanny, urk!!!!” Then they are off to the races again.

Scamper keeps one eye on me while all this is going on, but she is starting to believe we aren’t about to skin her for dinner. It’s only been a year, cat. You’d think you’d have figured it out sooner.
