Hoomin note: I seem to have turned into a lurker lately. Just can't
seem to keep up with the group. Stil thinking of you all and sending silent purrs, but not posting much as RL is keeping me busy. I kind of enjoyed my last posting of a clowder meeting, so instead of just posting an update on how things are going here I including the update in the minutes of another clowder meeting report being sent off to the Mothership. This post is part one. If the meeting thing isn't to your liking you can skip down to the hoomin note at the end for an update on one of the strays I was working on socializing. polonca12000...
********* From Sammy Touchstone, Secretary Password *(^_P{]>< Title: Official Minutes from Touchstone Cat Meeting Submitted To: Mothership cc: RPCA Feline Masters/Mistresses Little Bit: Before I call this meeting to order, as senior feline present I have a few comments. First, there is to be no repeat of the behavior demonstrated at the last meeting. Is this fully understood? [Sammy and Spotty, looking as innocent as only cat can look, look at each other and then both give LB a puzzled looks] LB: Don't give me that look! It may work on hoomins, but it doesn't fool me. I said, "Is that understood?" [S & S give each other another a look, shrug, and nod] LB: OK, just remember that the Mothership has reviewed the minutes of the last meeting, and I have full backing for any discipline I deem necessary to avoid any repeat! This meeting is now called to order. I move that we skip the reading of the minutes from the last meeting to avoid trouble. Do I have a second? [S & S give each other another a look and nod] LB: Any discussion? [S & S shake their heads no] Motion carried. Secretary Sam, any old business? Sammy: Well, that stoopid orange cat that was coming around to eat on the patio hasn't been seen around lately. LB: You mean the one the hoomin was calling Citrus? S: Yep, that's the one. LB: hmmm, Spotty, as the most recent clowder member to live in the OUT, do you have any idea where the cat called Citrus has gotten off to? Sp: Yes and no. [NOTE from Secretary Sammy: Following instructions from the Mothership, Spot's comments will be more grammatically correct and even spelled correctly - or at least as close as it can get without a spell checker] [LB waits for Sp to continue, but Sp just sits there looking back at her] LB: Please explain, is it yes or no? Sp: If the question is, "Do I know where Citrus is?" the answer is no. [Sp stops smugly eyes LB like the cat who ate the proverbial canary] LB: Enough stalling, please continue. Sp: OTOH, if the question is do I have an idea where he's gotten off to, then yes. The rumor going on among the Outside cats is that Citrus found himself a home and now commands a slave or two of his own. [Hoomin note - ignoring the fact that I'm not supposed to be able to read Clowder minutes. I didn't see Citrus for a couple weeks, and was especially worried because he was just getting to the point where he was beginning to trust me enough to pet him a little. About two weeks ago I thought I saw him, but wasn't sure. Last week he was here when I got home from work. Almost didn't recognize him, but it was definitely Citrus. He was wearing a collar and tags, and has lost that scrawny look as he's been eating well. Someone snatched him up and took him to TED (still too shy around hoomins for me to check to see if he was neutered). I'm guessing he's being kept inside, and just managed to slip out the couple times I've seen him. Pat...
