troutkitty already mentioned, Trout is a very bad cat. (looks at gf's username) Hmm. Let me clarify. troutkitty=gf who is not a cat. Trout, aka Mr. Brown-Speckled Trout, aka many other things as well=eighteen-pound tabby cat from whence gf's username came.
Anyhow. He was prowling on the balcony, the usual plywood barrier was up, and he decided to go exploring. Or something. After a rather frantic twenty minutes of walking all up and down the street calling, and triple and quadruple checking inside the house, and looking under parked cars and such, I see a kitty-silhouette on top of the wall separating the two lanes (our block is on a hill and one lane is eight or nine feet above the other at its highest point--it's very strange.)troutkitty went scrambling after him and carried him in, and he was unreasonably smug for such a BAD CAT. At least it only took twenty minutes. When Minnow went missing, it took several hours for us to find her (she was inside the whole time in some still-undiscovered hidy-hole, sleeping).
And this is afterchaleur23 spoiled them by bringing over a scratching post thingie with dangly balls to bat at that she'd bought them. (I hear it's also queenzulu's fault.) Lucky cats!
I planted a pot of cat grass for them so hopefully they'll leave my plants alone! (Yeah, right. Last summer, Trout kept eating the chives!) I've got morning glory seeds planted, and I think I'm going to be getting some tomato plats from my dad again, and if last summer is any indication, all sorts of "volunteer" plants from my mom. (Seriously, we went away for the weekend, and she came over to water the plants, and when we got back, there was a spider plant, two palms, and two more hanging baskets that weren't there before!) I need to sort out what's going in the pots and boxes we have, and see about getting some more big pots. Although it's all cold and rainy out there and likely will be for another few days at least, so I've got a bit longer to make up my mind.
