With the rains and cloud cover it has been warmer at night so I was on my
patio late last night when I heard cats screaming in anger and challenge.
OK with Maya being Maya that is not that unusual a thing, then a cat
came flying under the wall and ran deep into the condo.  Now that was
strange, never seen Maya run from another cat like that before.  I went
out to chase the cat away when Maya, Bruiser, and Matthew all came out.  
Bruiser looked confused and Maya seemed curious and Matthew looked
worried.  Wait a minute, Matthew?  Matthew looks a lot like Maya in the
dark, they are the same size and while differently colored the markings
are not real obvious and all I saw was a tail going by and it wasn't
Bruiser's long, fluffy magnificence.  So Matthew bit off more than he
could chew and ran to the closest place he felt safe.  He always ran home
before.  He came by this morning and the boys were chasing each other
around the living room like a track was laid out.  Pretty amazing how
much noise two cats can make when they don't care and are making leaps of
up to four feet on and off a cat tree.  

The Littermaid automatic self cleaning litter box died yesterday.  I've
had it a couple of years.  It was really dirty on the outside and it
needed scrubbing. I didn't short anything but I think I got some litter
in the gearing and it stopped it while it was running.  I could hear the
motor trying to move it, but its froze up.
