A Cat's Life

Maya has a cold.  She has been sniffling and snotting and coughing.  But she works the night shift steadily ridding us of mice.  

The cat has been an interesting addition to the apartment.  Yael and Marnie seem to crave the cat's affection which usually results in the cat hiding for a spell.  What really gets them is that I rarely pay the cat any attention and yet it consistently bypasses them and flocks to me.  It is a strange occurrence indeed.  

But the most amusing bit regarding the cat is that Yael has never had one nor been around one. She is very unsure about what is appropriate for the cat and what is not.  She is constantly asking questions as to what is proper cat behavior.  "Why does she scratch in the litter box?" "Will she bite me?" "Why doesn't she love me?"  All of this is better than most sitcom television.  

While I maintain an arm's length relationship with the hair shedding creature, it is nice to have a 4th to entertain us.
