For the longest time I've been graced with two kitties (Amelia and
Tabitha) who love to wait in the bathroom while I shower, then hop onto my
shoulders and groom my hair while I brush my teeth. Recently the list of
shower-shouldering kitties has grown - now Harri Roadcat and Ranger want
to get in on the action as well. It's not at all uncommon for me to have
one kitty jump onto my shoulders while I brush my teeth, put that kitty
down, have a second jump up while I put out their soft food, put that
kitty down, then have a third shoulder-rider while I finish getting
dressed.

This morning, though, Ranger ran into a bit of a problem. While he was
riding my shoulders he discovered a furry grey snake following him. It
appeared that he had never noticed this snake before. He was trying to
balance on my shoulders while spinning in a circle trying to catch it, but
he had an awful time since it kept getting away from him.

I finally convinced him to jump off my shoulder and relax, and when I
started petting his lovely long tail he finally realized that the grey
snake was attached to his butt and was therefore nothing to worry about.

I sometimes worry about that little boycat.
