Homeless Cat -- Now Spotacus' Legacy
On 18 Dec, a very large cat showed up at our house. It was late and cold, and he looked in the door and made it clear he wanted inside. Well, since we have two cats already and he was a stranger, we...

That is fabulous, Magnus. Spotacus would be so proud. Well, he was proud to begin with, but let's go with it.
Mitch, thanks for the info. We know very little about FitBit, but are looking forward to accomplishing something with them as coaches/nags. Don't think I could stand having friends/family adding to the nagging, though. Would feel too much like I was back in the Army...
Rudy has definitely decided to share the recliner with Czarny and me. I was even able to hold him for about five minutes of cuddling, before he strolled onto the side table. He's coming along nicely. Both kitties are fascinated with staring out the windows at something we can't see. Czarny is getting interested in going outside, but that's not on our list of good things for them to do anytime soon. They are both still a little timid, reacting with fear or hyper alertness when they hear a new noise. We've not loosed the Roomba since they got here, waiting for them to settle. But it's going back into service tomorrow -- can't stand the grit under my bare feet anymore.
Presents wrapped, boxed and ready for shipment or placing under the tree. Editing job is about half finished, so I have to crash on it tomorrow. Monday WLToo and Tall Friend are going to the range while I take Mom to a medical appointment. Dern it. One of these days, I have to get to the range and practice myself. There's skeet needing a shotgun blast out there.
Looks like Tuesday is the earliest for Christmas decorating. At least I added another album to my huge collection of Christmas music. William Shatner put out an album of Christmas music, with a number of well-known singers and instrumentalists. It's actually quite enjoyable, at least to this formally trained musician with a bent sense of harmonic humor. If you have iTunes, wander over there and preview each song. It's going to be a love it or hate it album, no in-between. I'm firmly in the love it camp. But I like Bob Rivers' Twisted Christmas albums, dogs barking Jingle Bells, carols played on shop tools, and cats meowing The Chipmunk Song. However, I just played that last one, and the cats ran under the bed -- no Jingle Cats this year.
Back to edit one more chapter before bedtime. Hopefully, Czarny won't help this time, being under the bed. Cleaning out his "footprints" this afternoon was a mess...
Later, y'all.
