Yes, it’s still a little early in my time zone. Oh well.
No, you’re not getting rid of me that easily.
My junior cat, as dearly as I love him, has a couple of really obnoxious habits. He likes to walk from the hutch on my desk to the top of the bird cage next to it (only place we can really put the bird cage in this living room). Fortunately, this does not seem to worry the bird much (sometimes I wonder if she understands what predators are), and her cage is solid enough that she’s safe from any actual threat. Mounting that bulletin board on the side of my desk next to the bird cage so it sticks up a good foot from the tops of the desk and bird cage SEEMED like a useful solution to that, but Buddy just goes right over it. He’s also decided that the cork side (which faces the actual desk work area) is a dandy scratching post, and has utterly trashed it. Before I flip the bulletin board (there’s an undamaged half of the cork area at this point), gotta figure out how to prevent a recurrence.
I’d never realized before just how much easier than the average cat my senior cat, Allie, or her predecessor, Felix (RB), are/were to live with.
