Today in Cat News

Emotions are settling down here at the Cat Farm. Mozart and Trooper both managed to sleep on the bed last night, albeit on opposite sides. Mozart has given over cursing, which is, I think, a Great Relief to us all. Which brings us to this morning's situation.
Trooper came to work:
. . .and Mozart came in to check out his various places under the desk, and the rocker. He observed Trooper in position, and deliberately sat down -- with his back turned, of course. He cleaned a shoulder, to show the depth of his unconcern, and then casually strolled down the hall, with nary a curse-word to singe the air.
Progress, we haz it.
And now I'm for the living room office and the Rest of the Manuscript.

Re: Trooper's job description
Date: 2013-07-04 02:20 pm (UTC)When Trooper was retired, the folks at the cattery originally thought they'd keep him, because he's a big, furry bundle of love, and so beautiful, and...but the momcats beat up on him, and then he'd go hide, which wasn't good for anybody, so it was decided to put him up for adoption.
He certainly doesn't have the. . .insouciance that was Hex's defining characteristic, and he's not as diffident as Socks had been. He's very respectful of the elders in the house, and intensely thoughtful. He is, however much bigger -- by which I mean taller and longer -- than Mozart, or Hex, or Socks (everybody being much bigger than Scrabble, poor cat) -- which I imagine might have concerned Mozart, who is, after all, fifteen.
However! The cursing phase seems to be over, and Mozart allowed Trooper to sniff his ear last night, so we're continuing in a forwarder direction. I do have to keep reminding myself that Trooper's only been here since Saturday, so this really is very speedy progress.
Trooper: the new Guy
