Somebody said it was like piles of cats everywhere. Some on top of each other in chairs and on couches, some tangled in and playing with rope, other kitties attacking each other, tumbling around. I was an outside cat who had to be let in and out constantly, which suited me just fine. There was ample purring, some hissing, definite caterwauling. Many compliments, much helpful preening. Fourteen weird, sweet, cautious but cuddly kitty queers.

It was hailing when we left our too-big cabin. The precipitation continues further east, but it’s warmer, which is nice. I made it to my family late in the day, Lenape and Nentego land.
