David Stevenson - 26 Feb 2008 23:53 GMT

As you will remember, we lost Minke a couple of months back. We were
just about to go to the USA on holiday so we went ahead. The only
difference from normal was that normally cat-feeders never see a cat,
just find the food has gone: while we were in the USA, Nanki Poo came to
meet the cat feeder.

Since then, Nanki Poo has got much more friendly, often with his
claws. I am used to getting woken at 4 am by a claw in the back and a
request to turn over: he prefers me to sleep on my right with an armful
and a mouthful of fur.

This evening he told Liz he was there by clawing her knee. She was
NOT PLEASED.

Much of the time at home I now have to wear a tight skirt. Well,
actually it is a beach towel, but Nanki Poo likes to have a nice lap to
sit on. Sometimes he will stay for three hours or so.

He still likes to test gravity. Especially on my bedside table.
Having woken me up at 3 or 4 am, he sits on the table, makes sure I am
watching, and slowly pushes things off the edge to see if gravity is
still working.

It is.

Pushing stuff off a table? He's channelling Smokey!

finally, one of the daves admits to wearing a skirt at home, if not a
tutu. *grin*

mir is the gravity tester around here. she seems very surprised each
time that it is still working.

i wish they would collaborate so that they only had to test it once in
a while in one place, then tell all the other gravity testers that yes,
it's still working. or maybe they have to carry out their tests around
the world to confirm a theory. or to make sure the earth is still
spinning at correct speed. or something.

We have multiple testers here. One night they took turns knocking things
off of my desk and night stand. I'm still trying to get everything put
away. Testers are Tanada, QC, Pine Cone, Sonya, and MCG. busy little
critters.

caliban drops things, but he does it by mistake. i think he still thinks
he's a little kitten who can fit in a much smaller space than he can in
reality.

mir is the one who deliberately pushes things slowly closer to the edge,
looking at me between every push to see that i know what she's doing.

Mimi (RB) was the gravity specialist here. She was a little cat, and
depending on the size of the object, she would push with her little paw, or
use her head. ;) For her, it was all about getting me out of bed. She
would start with small articles, and work up to the telephone, and computer
keyboard. It was effective. The thing I remember was she was still pushing
things around with that crazy gleam in her eye, on the morning of the day
she went down with acute renal failure. :(

Please accept my condolences, late but sincere, for your loss of
Minke, David.
It's so good to hear from you again....hope your visit across the pond
was most
enjoyable, except for that.
