I was sitting at the table eating a bowl of cereal when James began hissing and yowling. The draperies behind me were closed but they don't quite reach the floor, allowing James to see out onto the deck. Our self-appointed guard cat saw the gray calico and warned him to get away from the house, which it did when I opened the drapes a bit. James then ran over to a window, to make sure the other cat hadn't just moved to the front walk. I don't know what to do. September is usually pretty warm, and we like to have the sliding doors open to allow breezes to flow through. Randy just put new wheels on the door to the front deck, hoping they will keep the door on its track when James leans on it, and we've begun using the latch/lock on it. But if James goes into attack mode every time he sees that cat, I'm afraid that sooner or later he'll get out. Would he actually fight the calico? I don't know, but I'd rather not find out.
As we walked back from the mailbox yesterday, e stepped in a small puddle. I guess she liked the sound because she walked back and forth through it several times. She squatted and put her hand in the water, then just sat down in it. How funny! After a bit she stood up and we returned to the house, where I took off her wet, muddy clothes and put them in the wash.
For two days now she has not napped. She gets in her crib easily enough after lunch, the chatters to herself and bear but does not sleep. Yesterday after almost two hours of this I just got her up again. By supper she seemed cranky, so I think she still needs the nap and will continue to give her the opportunity to sleep, or at least rest in her bed. This also will allow me to do some things without her.
