Last week, I’d mentioned that Loaner Cat disappears whenever strangers are in the house. Well, after three months of construction on our kitchen, at least one stranger apparently wasn’t anymore! Our kitchen reno took so long, we became friends with our contractor and went to dinner last Friday with him and his wife. I’d mentioned something about his leaving the attic cover off overnight and Loaner Cat appearing the following morning covered in flotsam (the cover is floor level in the closet) and he told me when he went up there the next day to work on the electric, she’d come out, booped him a couple times and was trying to help him with the work! She must have been very happy about exploring the attic and trying to thank him for her adventure. I don’t know. But I was quite shocked. Who knew?
Shy Sophie “holding hands” with the builder in panel 3…my screen just melted down completely, & it’s raining on my keyboard…one Like is not enough… ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I had to have a moment with my Gracie earlier. I got up from a chair and she was just beside my leg. So when I turned to walk into the kitchen, her tail was under my foot. I never saw her. Normally her tail is swishing all around me. Not this time. I didn’t put full weight on her tail, thankfully, but it sent me into the doorway with a smack, and Gracie in the other direction. So we had to have poor, poor, Gracie time. Then I cooked her some chicken. It’s a super medicine for a sore tail. I felt terrible, got a small lump on my forearm as well. LOL Sara was funny. She didn’t know who to see about first. But I am happy to report that after a nice lunch of chicken, all is well here. Even if Gracie was under foot again as I got her that chicken.
Sophie has really come out of her shell lately. She’s letting the builder take her paw! Maybe knowing she has such good friends is helping her brave the world (and having a nice bureau to retreat under doesn’t hurt).

Of course it’s always nice to have a hidey hole under a bureau to snuggle up in.

Sophie reaches out and touches someone. Physically, I mean, not emotionally as she has done us.

She’s even happier now. Sophie is blessed with caring tree-legs.

That’s one of the builders who installed that window in the first place. I think he must feel a little guilty but Sophie has obviously forgiven him.
