No Katie Here

4 April 2009, 3:04 am. 2 Comments. Filed under Critters, Family.

In much lighter news, The Girl is in the Pacific North­west! For three weeks! She’s scout­ing col­leges and see­ing friends and so on. She’s already in geo-​​love after just a few days, say­ing she’d like to live there. Her hosts seem like Very Good Peo­ple, and I hope to meet them when they come to town for Dragon*Con.

Kyoshi is utterly uncon­solable, though. He wan­ders through the house look­ing for her, return­ing fre­quently to her door (still closed, and no, I won’t open it to let him in), the front door, every sin­gle win­dow — hop­ing in vain to catch sight of her. I’ve never known such a one-​​person kitty! He does come to me and Sam (a lot), fran­ti­cally at times, and he lets us pet him. But he won’t set­tle in our laps long at all. He has to dash to the front win­dows every time a car goes by, just hop­ing it might stop and dis­gorge the girl. I hope he gets more attached to us by the time she returns. Wher­ever she goes to school, though, I think she’s going to have to take the cat with her!

I’m less demon­stra­tive than the cat, but I do miss her. I know she’s with good peo­ple, and she’s hav­ing a great time, and she’s a smart young woman with a good head on her shoul­ders. But she’s my baby and she’s way far away and we’ve never been apart for more than two weeks in her whole life!!!

Ok. I’ll try to rein that back a bit.

I gig­gled so much while watch­ing this video on [info]mato­ci­quala’s jour­nal that I had to re-​​post it.

Oh, for a work­ing cam­era!1

Katie cleaned the top of the file cab­i­net next to my chair with a Method cleaner that is strongly mint-​​scented. Kyoshi won’t let us put the scan­ner there as intended, because he’s lick­ing the cleaned sur­face and rub­bing all over it orgas­mi­cally. (Cat­nip is in the mint fam­ily, and I guess this stuff is close enough.)

I wish we lived close enough to Kim­berly to adopt one of her pre-​​sweetened kittens!
