Adaption to Life

Well, this kitty is certainly trying to adapt!  Water is not our favourite element…

Well, I didn’t get into Harvard so I’m not one of those anthros (Adaptation to Life, George E. Vaillant) who were studied over a period of time to see how they shaped up after changes in their lives outside university and so on, but they throw me around enough so that if I don’t adapt, I’m sunk.

We’re pretty settled in here and there are all sorts of things out the window to keep me occupied, but frankly, under the bed for two days was just fine with me.

Still, after those 48 hours here I am, shaking in my boots with apprehension:

Ha, ha, that’s funny, no?

Plus mama went out to a fish market and came back with some shrimp, of which I partook with great aplomb, meaning I gobbled them up.

Here I am, traumatized from the jaunt and not knowing whether to lie down or prop up my paws:

I actually managed to watch the third episode of Downton Abbey with the folks before conking out completely after my ordeal.  At least the bridegroom came around!  I was worried they would start off their marriage on the wrong paw.  Whew, that’s a relief.

Still, like Willy Nelson, I’m not too upset to be on the road again, if only I knew why we DO these things!!!

Don’t they get it that a kitty likes continuity? Not this incessant challenge to her mental and physical states of mind?

Here I am really worried again:

But I have to face my commitments sooner or later:

Me, facing commitments.

Me, happy not to:

More on this fascinating city when I get my strength up.

And condolences to the family of little Ferguson.  Much love from us.

Hi Loulou,

What fascinating city are you visiting? I am so curious!
It is very wet, windy and cold where we live right now and my mama is yearning for a place to spend a few days to warm her bones. I like it right where I am…snug as a bug in my LL Bean canvas bag. When do you get to go home?

I have been watching DA with my folks too but there is no kittie around that place and even Isis, the dog, has gone away. Less Lady Mary and more Isis…that’s what I say! He is kind of cute for a dog!

A long meow from your cousin outlaw Binky xo

Ha, Loulou! We bet you are soaking up all the attention and enjoying being spoiled with special treats. You’re a seasoned traveler now and we think you are putting us on about being nervous. Under the bed for 2 days while you scoped out the new digs, yes, that is believable. But you shaking in your boots? Ha!
