Mrrrr Friends,
We’re heading south for a few days.
Alex and I were getting that something’s-going-to-happen-that-involves-the-litterbox-in-the-car vibe from our people for quite a few days. I was worried for a minute there that I was going to have to go back to the vet with Alex…but then the big rolling suitcase came out.
That means Oom is flying on a plane somewhere to drink, talk, and eat lots of food with the people she normally just talks to on the phone and e-mails a lot. Board meeting and conference she says…Boo and I refer to these as “bored meetings.”
Though she always seems reluctant to go – she just misses my furriness so much, I think – she must have a pretty good time, because she does this at least three times a year.
But we’re all going to the little house on Long Island first. I’m gonna remark the yard one last time. As I understand it, because we don’t live there anymore, Boo’s mom traded it for money and some other people are going to live there. She should take the money and invest it in kibble and cat toys, but that’s a whole other topic….
It’s all a little sad for Boo because he spent lots of time there starting when he was a human kitten. And he likes water with salt in it, which I think is yucky, but it is pretty. I’ll miss the fine trees there and I’ll miss my neighbor David, but…I’m a cat and moving on is really okay…indeed, it will feel more like a visit than a going away. Me, I live in the Adirondacks and I’m good with that. I just like sticking with my people and Alex.
Alex is going back too. She needs to oversee the relocation of her Prairie garden. Boo planted it for her in Wisconsin. Then we took part of it to the little house. Now we’ll move it here and transplant it again. I’ll take some pictures of it for you in the spring.
Anyway, I’m not sure how much blogging I’ll get in while I’m away. Indeed, I might take one of those mysterious cat walk-abouts.
Don’t miss me too much.
Before I go, here’s a couple pictures of the cool fungi I found on my climbing tree. (See it up there on the trunk in the middle of the photo? The leaning trunk on the right is my primary scaling trunk in the Linden.)
I was just bolting up the tree trunk one day and there it was. Kind of surprised me. I thought it was pretty and kind of creamy, musty smelling, so we got a photo of it. I like the way it grew out of an old branch hole.
