Four a.m. cat-fight between Mozart and Scrabble woke the house. Combatants separated, we tried to go back to sleep. I think Steve may have done so, but I laid there for an hour, not breathing well and occasionally rubbing Hexapuma's stomach. He slept through the entire thing. The upside of being deaf.

The alarm went off and I staggered up, got lunch together, started coffee, oatmeal &c. Went outside to start the car and! -- you know where this is going right? -- all four doors frozen shut.

Steve managed to get the passenger door open and turn the key. Things are warming now, and that's Quite Enough Adventure for one day, right?

Right.

Cat Fight

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Sharon,

A couple of my cats had a fight last night too -- midnight, just after I'd turned out the light and was about to drift off to sleep. It was my big guy, Walt -- the newcomer (but it's been 10 months!) -- and the little girl, Blackie.

I turned the light back on and got up, but they had both disappeared and yes there was some white fur left in the hallway (Walt's).

Went back to bed, but it took awhile to fall asleep, as I was anticipating a resumption of hostilities at any moment, but fortunately, not. Still it cut down on my five hours of possible sleeping time until my alarm went off at 5:00 a.m.

Walt loves to chase Blackie, and Blackie will hide under the bed and growl if Walt approaches. Yet I have recently seen them both curled up sleeping on the same bed, only a few feet apart, and twice in the same day. I think it's a game to Walt (he's still a youngster of 4 or 5), and they are better than when he first arrived and no bloodshed has happened.

But Scrabble and Mozart have been together how long? I wonder what caused their spat? Anyway, I hope you can get more rest tonight.
