redmeds parents arrived last night, and their little dog (Daisy) too! Daisy is a “yorkie-poo” mix, which means that she’s about the size of a cat, very enthusiastic, bright eyed, and covered with short curly hair. She’s cute. The cats had very different reactions to their visitor: Merlot was pretty much okay with her. She allowed Daisy to sniff her butt, then hung out under the table, where she could flee in any direction if necessary.
Maia wandered out while Daisy was being held, and was midway through her standard slow-approach to a visitor, when she suddenly stopped and got the most amazingly bottle-brush tail that I’ve ever seen. She was staring directly at Daisy, having apparently just noticed that she was alive. We giggled all night imagining her saying something like:
Excuse me, and with respect, but are you aware that the thing you are holding has EYES? No seriously, there is an ANIMAL in the house!
Shortly thereafter, Maia was simply gone to go kitty-loaf someplace where she couldn’t be easily found.
And now: Waffles.
