You know, this is so good, I will have to change the name of the blog eventually.

Cat Roundup

Boris - Is definitely, alas, not the lead cat. He went through a serious mourning period for Gus, though, and I worried about him. He's very happy now that he's getting pet a lot in the morning when he's drinking at the kitchen sink faucet. He's getting brushed a lot, too.

Brianna - She hides in the basement a lot. Not really hiding, but unless there's fresh food going into the dish, she doesn't think there's any reason to be upstairs anymore. She never has been much for people, anyhow. (Remember: Rescued from an abandoned house with 84 of her littermates.)

Sophie - She doesn't run away but she doesn't scootch in for a pet.

These are the three that miss Gus the most and from day to day, it changes as to who misses him the most. Averaging the ratings, I'd say Boris.

Blue - There was an old cranky cat here? Was there? Really? I never noticed. But you are petting me more. Good person!

Dylan - Has noticed there's more room for him and has squeezed into every possible space.

Taylor - I am queen! Bow down before me! Or I will swat you on the ass with my sharp claw - crap, I just got stuck in the carpet.

And I'm okay for now, but I have to go pick up the old man's ashes this weekend.

Misc:

- A gas fill-up in my car costs at least $50. And this is with the greatly reduced commute.
- I recently returned all my very overdue library books. I've also been dropping off donations of books I know that I'll never, ever read.
- I'm beginning to buy MP3s from Amazon.com. I'm sure another technology will come along next week and render it all obsolete.
- I like Carbon Leaf. And I just found out today that they're from Richmond. I am willing to bet that I knew at least two of their dads.
- I talked to Emma last night. She told me Sven doesn't much care for opposums. Apparently, he went into the barn on day and a possum fell on his head. I have to admit, this would greatly decrease my enthusiasm for marsupials.
- Crazy weather. Freezing yesterday. Humid, soggy, warm-icky-ish. I turned on the a/c when I got home.

Ob-lah-di.
