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...

Spotacus' doppelgänger is named Lola, and her family got her safely home. Whew.
Good news: Leoghaire and the fawn that's been hanging with her this summer came up to the house yesterday. I was running Mom around the city, while Brother and SIL were at the house. SIL fed both deer twice, as they were obviously very hungry. We're watering one stretch of grass, but it's not near enough for them--darned drought.
WLToo returned sick from Buddy's funeral. Picked up some crud somewhere between here and Virginia. He was okay at the viewing, but got so sick he could not attend the funeral. Better now, but flying home was unpleasant -- ears wouldn't clear as they descended.
The cats discovered the other side of the south fence last week. Took quite a while to convince them coming back through the fence and into the house (through a new to them door) was a great idea. Did it again the next day, but something seems to have frightened them, because they are staying on the north side of the house again.
Yesterday, SIL and I were sitting on the deck extension, and we suddenly noticed the cats were zooming -- in a tree. They were running up and down the limbs on the live oak next to the pool, like the limbs were highways. So cute.
Hummingbird migration seems to be steady. Only four to six birds in the morning, more arriving throughout the day, until late afternoon sees a minimum of a dozen. Pretty late for some of them; I guess the really warm summer up north delayed their migration starts.
Time to get moving. Later, y'all.
