Classic Caliban

I was sitting at my desk reading rpca and Caliban was sitting beside my
laptop, waiting for his breakfast and taking the opportunity to groom
himself a little while waiting. Efficient time management!

While vigorously licking a spot on his back, he leaned a bit too far to
the side... and fell down on the floor. Contrary to what you would
expect, he didn't do the 'I meant to do that' lick. He stood there a
minute with a WTF? look on his face, then he slowly and in a dignified
manner walked over to his invisibility box and sat down inside it.
*Then* he id the 'I meant to do that' lick.

I'm trying to laugh quietly. Rob is asleep and I'm doing a quick RPCA fix
in case our power goes out tomorrow. We're starting to get Hanna, or at
least the heavy rains and lightning. Mandy is riding the storm out at her
boyfriend's house so it is just Rob, 8 indoor cats, Speedy the wonder dummy,
and me. Strangely, I find that hurricanes excite me. Maybe I'm mentally
ill.

LOL! Dante sits, or lies on the stairs cleaning himself-- or playing with
his tail-- and sometimes goes tumbling down the stairs-- as Stinky did when
he was a young fellow. I had never seen cats fall down the stairs before
these two klutzes.

BTW, is it possible that the box is a Time Machine?

No, I kind of like 'em, too. I like how the sky gets all weird and purple
and green, and the air feels so heavy. I wouldn't want to have it all the
time, but it's sort of like being on another planet for a little while.

It's very possible - there's definitely something magic with that box.

Yeah, but Theresa, you live in New York. Hurricanes *are* fun in the
Northeast. I used to love them in Boston. They could sometimes be bad,
and you wouldn't want to be out in one during the worst part of it.
Especially along the coast, they can do a lot of damage, even up in
Massachusetts. But it's still nothing like how it is down in the Southeast.
I've never experienced that!

My family is a hoot-- they are all transplants from the north, of course,
and when they were up here, they were never as obsessed with weather as they
are down there. :P
