Dahli is teaching me lately, although I'm not sure what. She has stopped trying to buck me off and instead the last time I was on her, unexpectedly balked, threw her head up for no apparent (physical) reason... and smacked me in the jaw with her head. That was Tuesday morning.

On Wednesday morning at around 6 am, Luna woke me up by staring at me. In my sleep, I thought (correctly) that he wanted to get under the blankets next to me, so I lifted them up. As I raised my head slightly, he decided to shake out his ears and smacked me in the eye with his head. So I woke up screaming in pain.

I'm waiting for the 3rd smack in the face by a face, since I still haven't figured out the message of the 1st two.

I celebrated Bella's last return, giving her many treats and ear scritches. She rewarded me with 2 dead moles and licking my fingers when I tickled her tummy. I will celebrate any return, but I'm not holding my breath waiting, or calling for her, or posting signs, or sending her mind pix. She is a free spirit, and that is fine. When she is here she is a perfect cat because she doesn't get under my feet and trip me while I'm doing chores. She makes no demands at all.
