Doombas. So it now offical eh. And raccoon is right. That steenky robot could be one of em steenky doombahs. He was open the main doors for them remembers?
Tortimer II, has been fully adopted by my occasional technophobe wife. Amazed by the good job he (it?) does, she has bought a whole tool kit to a bit obsessively daily clean his removable bits after the afternoon run.
Tortimer seems to be OK for the moment. But deep in the centre of the alien spaceship sits the alien leader – The ROOMBKON! This is a Roomba with an enormous microprocessor, and it is through the power of that processor that The ROOMBKON can control the minds of the adult cats and Destry. So far that power hs not been turned against Tortimer, but I fear that once The ROOMBKON becomes aware of Tortimer, he too will be doomed.
Iggy: So Harvey was the protector of the dust bunnies. Are there any other stories lost in futurity?
Beatrixia: There’s the story of a picture that was apparently imbued with supernatural power.
Iggy: Ooh, let’s see what happens.
Bea: Alright:
The Artist Formerly Known as The Artist stepped back and gazed at the picture he had just created. “This is my greatest masterpiece,” He declared. “I don’t want to sell it, or keep it for myself. I think I’ll just find a place to display it for all to see.”
So the Artist went to the local town hall and asked to post his picture there. The local citizens agreed this was his masterpiece, and were delighted to see it each day. One day the mayor declared that there should be a café in the town hall so people could enjoy a coffee, or tea, or whatever with a sandwich or pastry.
Eventually people noticed a strange phenomenon. Cats started to come to sit and stare at the picture, which depicted two cats, a grey tabby and a calico. It seemed that the cats would look at the picture, exchange knowing looks, and move on. Some people claimed the cats were talking among themselves.
“Is that who we think it is?” One cat asked. Another replied, “It could be. We’ll know when the time is right.”
And so it was. One day two cats appeared and sat in front of the picture, the very image of the to cats in The Artist’s picture. The Artist was so moved, he knew he had to adopt them both. Or did they adopt him? No matter, he named the adorable calico Dorrie, and the gray tabby he named Gray.
To this day people go to admire the Picture of Dorrie and Gray.
It finally happened! Bartholomew has figured out how to open a door! Fortunately, it’s the one door with a lever handle and the doors with doorknobs are still safe. I’m hoping he doesn’t pick up any tips from Ora Zella.
How cute, angry Orazuzu toe beans, and the cutest little bushy tail. Tortimer is so pleased to be her family. Also, don’t upset her, she is a bundle of adorable chaos.

Oh Tortimer…….. Watching Orazilla cuddle with Tortimer is about the sweetest thing ever. And Tortimer’s reaction as well. After all, he IS a good boy.

Tortimer is safe. (At least for now.) I’m fairly certain he will stay that way. The green light didn’t affect him at all.
Let’s keep the doors locked,though. You know, just in case the Doombas could do something to him by direct physical contact.
