Can it be TROO?
This morning I woke up early after a fretful night. Dan's in Vegas for Fan Faire and I am here with fifty cats, a dog and a goat (I kid about the goat...hahaha...anyway).
Heather's two cats stayed upstairs, but I bravely allowed Scooter to come downstairs with me, Mittens and Melody. Butch sleeps in a cushy dog bed in our room and he curled right up...but I was worried. What if Melody and Scooter had it out right there in the bedroom? Would I wake up to find Scooter (or me!) shredded across the carpet?
Every hour, I'd startle awake...but not because I'd heard anything. Mostly because I didn't hear anything. Were they already both dead? Where was Mittens? Yet through my concerns, I was also pretty tired so I'd force myself back to sleep.
The sun rose, Butch got up and clattered out onto the hardwood floors. I got up and let him out (yay for backyards!), then looked for cat remains.
There weren't any. All three cats were still alive, even though Melody and Scooter began glaring at each other as soon as they were up.
In fact, as I type this, Mittens is curled up against my right thigh and Scooter sleeps to my left. Butch is at my feet on the rug. Wow. Just...wow! Melody is across the way on the bark-o-lounger, which is probably as close as she wants to be to Scooter. But they're all in the same room, sleeping.
It's a miracle!

Dan showed me the scratches. (ouch) This post makes me smile. I'm glad it is getting better. :)
Yeah it's been nice, except Dan came back and now Scooter is up to her old tricks again.
In her own way, I think she's trying to "protect" him! =D
Nice of Dan to spread cat hairs across the galaxy. A-choo!
Bonnie! Lunch!
Ha! I can't believe she went back to her old ways. I hate to suggest that he leave again. I think it means that she'll come around again.
