Now the new boy-cat is gone, too!

He seemed to be right at home, but after 2 or 3 days of coming and going outside, he didn't come back any more. It was raining and Bill closed his window, and I don't think he had learned how to jump up on the other window. He was the one most wanting to go outside, so maybe he's just a born vagabond. Manfred pictures him with his toys wrapped up in a bandanna on a stick.

At least we still have feline supervision -- a Wink without a Tiddly.  She is very demanding of brushing and petting. 

Bill stayed with us for almost a month. Now I'm starting to plan a trip to Europe, looking at travel by ship. We both have to admit that we can't get around like we used to. I get a backache after a trip to the grocery store. I will see if I can find boats both ways and then just visit Sintra, St Gilgen, and one other place.

Mercutio is gone, new cats are here

Mercutio just didn't come home.
We waited for 10 days, then went to the Poulesbo Animal Shelter and got 2 "barn cats" - cats that have lived outdoors, and are free. A tabby male and a tuxedo female, both young, both very scared of people. They stayed hidden for several days, but now they come out.

We call them Tiddly (boy) and Winky (girl).
