This is an excellent study of the many aspects of cats. I, for one, regularly check my cat’s depth, as it often changes depending on the shedding season, and sometimes I loose my cellphone in the fur.
Very serious.
With Chuck back in Michigan, Plover and I decided to work on our serious faces.
Attack of the Chilly Kitty
Caturday post.
Plover likes to sleep on my neck. As it gets colder, he gets friendlier. Soon, I will awake to find him under the covers with a book, a flashlight, and a box of Oreos.

Decrypting the Cat
We had a breakthrough this week in human-cat relations. Plover, our newest cat, was adopted from the pound, and came with a bit of post-traumatic-stress disorder. He had a rough time in cat jail, and has been on edge for the last six months.
Then we got him a shoelace.
We tried everything to get him to play: catnip, stuffed mice, balls, rattling things. He would try, but he always remained a bit reserved. The shoelace changed everything. He instantly recognized it as a toy, and jumped on it with a joyous fury.
He is a changed cat. He carries the shoelace around the house, lays on it, chases it wherever we drag it (even to previously scary parts of the house), and has generally blossomed into a fun-loving, easy-going guy.
This kitty was a mystery, and all it took was a shoelace to decrypt his code and get him functioning. Kittyhack!!!
