DR Elmore, it's so good to hear those critters are basically getting along at this point. The process is ongoing but they're obviously used to each other's presence and all will be fine.

A & T -- or, um, could we say T & A ? :) -- might not be showing the warm and fuzzy LUV to Stella as of yet, but that is entirely up to them. For now, acceptance is key.

But you know that. Don't mind me.

We are back from patrol.  Annabelle saw Maryann, one of her favorite neighbors, and met a pretty young lady who lives on the first floor.

This morning I began the litter assimilation:  after I sifted and cleaned the litter from the big litter box and Stella's little one, I put some of the clean litter from each into both boxes with new clean litter, so their scents will mingle.  This did wonders when I was juggling Annabelle's and Thatch's litter boxes in 2017.

It did rain a little last night, so I packed up my chair and watched the rest of the show under the covered area. There were plenty of seats at the back.

Fun production. Not lavish, except from the orchestra pit. Good singers. Everyone was mic’ed, which is necessary in an area that large.

I don't think we ever did that. Man, you've become an expert on this stuff.

Well, Jane, I need to get to sleep.  I asked my friend's wife if she would not come down to Tacoma too early, and she agreed.  We just didn't discuss exactly when...or where we'd meet. 

I slept until 7:00, half an hour before the alarm was set to wake me up.

I learned this dealing with Thatch and Annabelle before the cage was suggested. and I was at my wit's end.  One day Thatch was kept in the bathroom with the big litter box while Annabelle was in the living area with the little box. Yhe next day they changed rooms while the litter boxes remained where they were.

Stella, when she's out of the cage, eats their food and drinks from their water dishes, and they don't seem to mind.

I must say they put on a great show.   It lasted over two hours with no intermission.   Ramin and Sierra sounded just wonderful.  Seth was in charge and surprised them with the songs they were to sing while he played the piano.

That's also very much a kitten thing. Little Poe attacked Taffy's and Muffin's food so ferociously that for his first several weeks here we had ti serve him his meals in the bathroom with the door shut. Somehow or other that all evened out. But hey'll always graze from each other's bowls later on, usually after each has eaten most of their own. Because, don'tcha know, the other cat always has something better!

BK, my friend John Wilson was a great friend of Richard Rodney Bennett and he's now recording all of Bennett's music for Chandos.


John Wilson?  As in, conductor John Wilson?

I have the three Chandos classical albums and they're great.  Don't have the orchestral jazz thing and will look for it.

Annabelle finally snapped and fought back.  Stella looked completely puzzled by it all, but we've got to get her biting and roughhousing under control.  One of the cat sites I consulted suggested she might have been separated from mother and siblings too early before she learned to control her impulses.  I hope Annabelle will help her grow out of this phase.

Richard and I had an interesting afternoon.  First we went to a real estate open house at our friend Julie's home.  We can see the back of her house from the front of ours and were just curious.  It's a lovely home that her parents built:

We hope it sells for the price they're asking!

After our "nosy neighbors" act, we went to a movie premier at the Middletown Historical Society.  Our friend Sam has created a documentary about the Armco (Steel) Ambulance Corps, 15 men who served in France during World War I.  They had a great crowd and the piece was very well-received.
