Marlo gets (temporarily) rehomed

Cats in the wild do hide their kills from other predators, but that doesn't mean they would think of hiding something from a human that they don't want the human to use on them. Different motivation. When we were in a top-floor city flat, one of our cats managed to biff the "don't do that" water spray bottle off the windowsill so it landed in an inaccessible courtyard. When I was learning how to play the harmonica, my cat Feather put it with his little collection of mousie corpses. I assume he'd killed it first. Now that Roxy is gone, I don't have anyone to give me the glare of death and then pointedly move from one spot to another further away from me, if I should dare to start singing in the house. Licky doesn't seem to care one way or another. The most I might get from him is an alarmed expression, which consists of dilated pupils and airplane ears. But that's pretty much his normal expression, so it's hard to tell. -- Joyce There is no alternative to being yourself. |

Buffy simply doesn't understand sometimes I feel like singing. I get songs stuck in my head. Earworms, ya know? The only way to get rid of them is either to sing (or listen to) the song. Buffy does not understand it. She tries to distract me. Jill |
