They are actually just having a truce to share body heat, and even under those circumstances are not exact a close knit community.

As for the wound, at least it as a slash and not a puncture, so it will heal cleanly without getting infected.

That’s a wonderful picture! It’s so calm and happy looking. You have some beautiful kitties, Bryan. I’m sorry to hear about your hand. Kitties can be wicked with those claws.

They can be tiring and I’m only dealing with a half dozen.

curmudgeon cat also has the loudest voice and the largest vocabulary, both of which he uses to good effect for those few times when mere presence isn’t enough. the dog still gets a big kick out of joining in the cat fits when they break out, but he’s beginning to agree with cc on the rest of it.

Curmudgeon is large enough to have the license to ignore them. I assume your dog still thinks they are puppies to play with.

curmudgeon cat refers to them as the occupying force, when he deigns to notice them.

When I headed back to Florida from California, I had to postpone the trip for a day because of the snow and wind on I-8. It can get very nasty in those mountains.

I don’t mess with Dot when she’s in a mood. She really can display an lot of “attitude” when she gets annoyed. Poor Sox, with a 50% weight advantage, he gets beat up when he pushes things one step too far.

From my typing above, one would think I was the one with the slashed hand. Or maybe Stella’s backspace key resists more than mine; I don’t know. In any case, I know how annoying it can be to have a hand wound; it interferes with everything. I hope it heals soon.

Whatever Dot’s wont, it’s Dot’s will that you’re struggling with!

Yeah, National Weather Service has issued a blizzard alert for the Sierras. I’m getting that weather before it hits the Sierras. Folks in the high desert are looking at it a bit nervously too, they’re not fond of re-enactments of the Donner Party so I suspect the Saline hot springs party is over for next month (a few years ago everybody got trapped in the Saline Valley for almost a month by one blizzard after another, they survived but it was not fun and so now folks don’t joke about blizzards there).

It is looking like buran [a snow hurricane] conditions in the Sierras. I'm ready for a warming trend with the wind shift.
