New Year's Eve Blogging

Yesterday

Angel perpetrated a particularly egregious outrage upon Cloud - the worst thing was that the human saw it coming and thought she had thwarted it. Cloud was hanging with the human in the bathroom, and Angel was loitering with intent right outside the door. The human was keeping an eye out, and making discouraging noises, and it finally seemed that Angel had given it up. But not: the moment the human's attention strayed, Angel pounced, and Cloud, too, must have been taken by surprise, because she just screamed with fury. The human quickly rescued Cloud, tossed Angel, and closed the bathroom door - Cloud was so upset it seemed best to confine her for a while. Cloud did not want comforting. She did not want to be distracted. She wanted to simmer and stew and plot her revenge on the miserable Angel. Eventually, however, she played a little bit with the sash of the human's robe - really just going through the motions - and so won her freedom...

Today

Given what had happened yesterday, and given Cloud's predilection for smacking first and asking questions later, the human was nervous when AreToo joined her and Cloud in the bathroom this morning. When all that happened was they touched noses - well, the human's heart just plain melted at the sweetness....

New Blankie

One of those fleecy throws or wraps or whatever they are - it's brown and soft and warm, and they've all gone crazy for it, kneading and kneading and kneading, as if to say their human finally feels exactly right...
