SLINKY

This is my other guy, Lincoln. And no, this is not evidence of cat torture — my boys have a thing for buckets and boxes … and they like to help with the laundry. Lincoln – named after President Abe — is long, dark, angular and smart — SUPER smart. He also has the softest, sleekest fur I’ve ever had the pleasure to stroke. He’s a polydactyl cat (a la Hemingway’s famous feline), camera shy, and something of an empath. And he sure as hell knows how to frame Brunswick

And unlike predecessor, Chaos — my wild grey muse, my writing cat – the boys are BANNED from my office!! Not writing cats these. These guys eat homework.

And thanks for the well-wishes. I think I should have this bug fully knocked by tomorrow.

   Awwww, how precious. Now I’m going to have to look up polydactyl. My Aidan has incredibaly soft fur – the vet says like a bunny rabbit. And Neely is a paper shredder.

   Glad you’re feeling a bit better. Now I’m trying to come down with something.

   I have a thing for black and white cats I grew up with a black and white feral cat who adopted my parents when I was about 4. She was lovely. She died when I was 18 so she had a pretty good run.

   My mom tells this story how she got Moggy (our cat) and Moggy’s mom and dad (wild farm cats) into the car in various sacks and boxes to take them to the vet to get them nutured. Of course they escaped and it was hell This one more headache for the mother of 4

   Glad you are feeling a bit better, sorry Eve isn’t

   Happy Birthday to your brother too!!
