They were single mindedly waddling and hopping along after me on foot, and then flying between telephone lines and trees to keep tabs on me. Thought I was going to get mugged.

And a ginger cat came out meowing for attention, smooching and doing roly polys. (I showered and washed clothes as soon as I got home in case of any cat illnesses spreading to my own sick elderly girl and also so she wouldn’t smell them.) It’s good, I can use a boost.

Melbcat is a little less enthusiastic about being loved on right now because I’m making her take her antibiotics but she’s a good sport and still snuggling and spooning with me (and only taking occasional revenge).
