    Who or what is that brown fuzzy creature in the picture — the one in a red-and-gold uniform? Could it be a beloved pet that Sophie was grabbed to replace? “Oh what is that doggie in the window?

    I’m presuming the only unmarred item in the living room, the portrait, was of a beloved pet that passed on to the Rainbow Bridge. are those shoulder thingies for a navy admiral??? still wouldn’t excuse her stealing Sophie Anne, but does perhaps show that she at least once knew how to love a pet.

    I just went back to the first and, it seems, only panel showing the living room wall. June 24. There is the picture frame but it is surrounding nothing but white. I think most of us assumed it was a mirror reflecting more white wall. So my first thought today was that Sophie had painted the picture of the cat/dog/bear/fuzzy mammal. I rather like the guesses earlier in the comments that the Tidy People once had a beloved pet who was painted in costume, but is it really?

    This reminds me of my room, from back in high school. I painted the walls in a very clinical off-white. Then I went mad with red paint. I painted some really disturbing lyrics from the band Skinny Puppy on one wall. Then, I managed to spill some paint on the floor, in the shape of the paint can. In black. So I turned that oops into a black smiley face using more of the red paint. I even had some mini blinds in that institutionalized color. I dribbled some paint on them as well. I had forgotten all about that ridiculous bit of decorating I did back then. LOL

    Sophititi: Now we have a gold medalist in the Bridge Jumping competition. Is the Shredding competition next?

    Maat-Tilda: Yes. And we all know who is the favorite for the gold there.

    Adobe Style: That works out so well. First the Tallacatchee Bridge is used for Bridge Jumping, then it is demolished in the Shredding competition.

    Arachna: And we all know who is favored in the Team Cheese Taking Event!

    Soph: That’s right. Alice-Ata and the Ladies have been training for months.

    Tillie: I understand their friends from Britannia are doing an exhibition event, bringing Double Down Cheese for rolling.

    Sue Chef: I can let you in on a little secret: Thomios and I have been working on Double Down Cheese recipes for the banquet. And you’re just in time to try my first batch of Savory Cheese Scones.

    Adobe Style: I have a feeling we will be seeing more trade between Britannia and Egypt.

    Sophie stands in her restored power and surveys her masterpiece! And then transfers all of the pent up rage and power that went into her artwork into her stare at tidy woman.

    The picture of Admiral Fluffins makes me wonder: did the tidy woman used to show dogs? Because that looks like a picture of a dog that will put up with anything. Kind of the opposite in needs and temperament to a cat.

    Looking at the Tidy Woman answers the question of why it took so long for her to respond to power failure, loud music and mysterious crashes from the living room. Normal people would grab a flashlight and run in. Note that TW’s hair is perfectly styled, her make up is perfect and she is nicely dressed. She didn’t enter the room until she was dressed for the occasion!

    OT: On the bad news front. Some may remember awhile back I reported on a local cat who had been severely burned and had been taken in by Our Farm Sanctuary. As far as I know, Fotis is still OK, but the sanctuary where he had been treated is under investigation for animal cruelty. WDTN reported, “On Monday, law enforcement and animal control vehicles searched the property where they said they found 119 cats in one room. Forty-three of these animals were seized for treatment of upper respiratory infections.”

    “I think they have good intentions of trying to help people. And then they just get in a position where they can’t handle the amount of animals they have,” said Craft. [Director of county shelter.]

    On the good news front, I finally saw Patches (the neighborhood cat who has been missing for awhile) this afternoon when I went out to get the mail. Her coat is still smooth and white, and she’s of good body weight. I couldn’t get her to come to me, but it was a relief to know she’s OK. I’ve been leaving a pan of fresh, filtered water on the porch for her and the chipmunks since we’re still in the “abnormally dry” category on the drought monitor. I make sure to clean the dish daily before refilling it.

    So, you know that part in every blockbuster movie where the hero and the antagonist face off for the last time in an environment where everything is blowing up and stuff, and it’s all super-dramatic?

    I think it’s pretty safe to say that we’ve arrived at that part.

    Post from Georgia on Beatrix: "You may not know—because I have not talked about it too much, though it has been mentioned in a few interviews and in-person talks over the years—We lost the real life Beatrix to FIP in autumn of 2010. She was an energetic, outgoing, enthusiastic, loving, terrific climber. She was the first friend Elvis ever made. She was only four months old. It was devastating. I had never heard of FIP until she slowed down suddenly and we brought her to the vet. It was deeply heartbreaking. The vet who guided us through the terrible experience promised to assist us to adopt another kitten, when we were were ready. We told her we’d like to adopt a special needs cat when the time came. Months later we called her, days after a black kitten had been brought in after a possible bird-of-prey attack. She had just amputated his injured back leg, and he was doing great. A week or so later, Elvis made his second friend, his lifelong best buddy Puck. But we all never stopped loving Beatrix or filled her place in our hearts. The idea for a social media intern came to me after a work trip to Kansas City when I met the delightful, fantastic force of nature that is my now friend Lindsay Gibson. 8-9 years later, I’m not even certain that was her role in the company. What I do remember was her great energy, which would sweep into a room and fill it with helpful ideas as her pencil jotted down notes and afterthoughts, leaving the space just a little more efficient in her wake. I realized how the station really needed an energizing, let’s-get-this-done attitude, to counterbalance Elvis’s rigid way of always-doing-things-this-way. When it came to choosing a cat, Beatrix was the immediate answer, springing into my heart as a way to bring her back into our lives and make her and Elvis’s brief friendship truly legendary. Only I couldn’t imagine her as an adult.
