Good morning all, to those at work and to those nursing food hangovers. Jerry will be back on the road again today, I am sure he will update us regularly, and he already has some pieces ready to be published here on WEIT because he doesn’t really understand the concept of “holiday”.
Hili, who as we know, is the hardworking editor of Listy is earning her keep. Kind of.
Hili: A typo!
A: Where?
Hili: Thrid line, second word.
In Polish:
Hili: Literówka!
Ja: Gdzie?
Hili: Trzeci wiersz, drugie słowo.
Possibly her staff are gently poking fun at her. It’s tough being a feline editor.
In other news, Leon had an adventure. Małgorzata writes:
Someone left a window opened and Leon escaped. He was away for three hours and his humans were out of their minds with worry. But he came back all by himself. He is safely at home now with all doors and windows secured against any possible devious cat’s tricks.
Leon: I don’t understand what all the fuss is about. I just went out to see what’s happening in the town.
I bet he nicks the Cobra!

He’s going to score it? With a knife?
(Sorry, it’s a reference to a film. With a transatlantic failure of communication. But I can’t remember what it was.)
If the window was open, any self-respecting cat would know that the universe had designed it that way for the nearest one to make use of. 🙂
Hmmm, “PCC” acquires a new meaning. Pre-Cognition Cat.
Actually, cats being pre-cogs isn’t exactly news.
I have an indoor-outdoor kitty (tried to make him indoor-only; didn’t work). He’s allowed out during the day, and he comes in at night.
Though a couple of winters ago, he decided that, with several inches of snow on the ground, he was going to stay out ALL NIGHT.
Worried me sick. Of course, he popped up at the window again the next morning.
Crazy Orange Kitty.
Pretty meta there, Hili. 😉
Leon, don’t you ever do that again!
Amen to that…Baihu had an unplanned, unsupervised adventure for a few hours several months after I moved into the then-new home, and scared the shit out of me. Fortunately, there haven’t been any repeats….
