I was trying to work today, and had at least a dozen power blips -- off, then back on. Kind of hard to stay connected when the router keeps rebooting, ya know?

Zen, great pics!

(It's the Nutella...)

pfunk, ah-HA! It was you! I knew someone was having fun over the weekend!

(Good job!! )

I went out to feed the ferals; only two showed up, Alger Hiss and Clipear, the tabby. The nameless black cat, constant companion of Alger Hiss, did not appear.

It was so bitter cold, and the cardbox boxes so snowy because of the drifting snow, and did I mention how cold it was with the wind whipping along?, that I just couldn't stand it. I cleaned one litter box completely (as in scrubbed out), put in what was left of my "spread on the sidewalk" litter, and put it in a different bathroom. Went outside and grabbed Clip, who is a pretty well socialized cat. He's now locked in a bathroom with the fresh litter pan, food, water, and an old flannel shirt.

I went out and tried to bring in Alger Hiss, which meant picking up the cardboard box he was in, but he clawed his way out before I even made it to the door. I feel awful and hope he came back to one of the boxes, that he's not so spooked he is going to forgo even that meager shelter.

I wanted to bring in all three cats. :-(
