* Squirrel left his door open for sleep a few days in a row, and LM has been coming out to sleep in the coveted office chair, displacing poor Livia who likes it for Her afternoon naps. Tonight, LM settled on the old pettin throne, a padded ottoman thing I bought at a second hand store when Mache's arthritic got bad of a perfect height for an elderly cat who doesn't like to jump anymore. It's also round and of the exactly size in round things cats tend to like for naps. LM spent most of the night napping on it and cadging pets when she woke just like Mache used to. This also is an occasional pettin spt for poor Livia, who just generally has similar taste in spots. It also meant no one wanted to sleep in the cat cave because of the hissing. still, it was really good having her even if it makes me a little weepy for my Andromache.
In other news, I think this election may be killing me, or maybe it's just 45.
