He's back!

Lots of love and thanks to itsjustaname, thalinoviel and mitchy for all those positive thoughts and reassuring words.

Yesterday was wretched; We both wandered through rain and foul weather, looking for the little bastard. In despair we left a kitchen window open. At 3 am this morning I was woken by a purring head-butting experience on my pillow. I stroked it absent-mindedly thinking it was Surya; then I opened my eyes and noticed the total blackness of the beast. It was him, our own little "divvil cat," to quote bad_moon_rising, happy to be home and hungry too.

He cost me so many tears yesterday. Jan sans lj, who had been with us over Friday night, tried to console me by buying me a sunflower, and some purple primroses. Both were lovely, and the primroses were very unusual. The petal edges are slightly lighter, almost silvery, giving the blooms the illusion of being faintly lace-lined.

The other casualty was my birthday surprise. In his attempts to help me out of my desolation, larians revealed that tickets are bought and everything is arranged for my birthday in July. We are going to Paris for a week!

P.S. Oh yes, and Dr Who was rather good: 'You would make a good dalek.' By the end I didn't know who I felt more sorry for...

Two weeks! You must have nerves of steel - I would have been madshriekingcatwoman with no hair on one side of my head!

Re catflaps, you have strengthened my resolve. They will be taught!

I was sad, but he's a big bad cat who knows how to look after himself. Apart from that time he got hit by a truck of course. He is not my favourite cat, yes I am wicked and have favourites, he loves and is loved by everyone, he doesn't crave my unconditional adoration like the others do. Had it have been Aslan, my favoured puss, or indeed when Jadis,who can barely look after herself as it is, went missing, it was a different story...

I have not acquired the required stoicism of cat-ownership yet. They're still around the 6-7 month mark, and, despite his baleful stare and her gymnastic perfection, a right pair of eeejits.

Aslan and Jadis are beautiful names. I remember Narnia...

True the their names, they absolutely hate each other.

Shere Khan has three legs, the Limping King. This was his name before he was hit by the truck, can't help feeling I did him a diservice there...
