Mommy and Daddy are acting kind of funny so I asked Jake what was going on.
He says he isn't sure, but that sometimes when they act like this, he ends
up going to jail!  He said it isn't too scary and its warm and has OK beds
and lots of food.  But you hafta live in a little cube with your food and
you water and a box of kitty litter.  Nice girls come sometimes and talk to
ya, and there's a big window, but there's no one to sleep on and NO OUT!  I
don't wanna go.  I like out.  Jake says it feels like he's gonna be there
for ever and ever but that Mommy and Daddy do finally come and take us home.

I never been to jail!  I've been a tough and wild little girl and lived in
the out all on my own.  I've tried to be a nice cat for Mommy and Daddy,
even if I do still get scared sometimes.  I hope I can at least talk to Jake
so I won't feel so scared.  He says we hafta stay in different cubes.

Purrs OK?  I know I won't like this.

(We are out of here in the morning for a road trip.  Up to Portland Oregon
for a meeting with online friends from alt.support.arthritis and then a
leisurely drive down the coast.  Provided it doesn't rain too much and
provided the coast doesn't earthquake itself off into the Pacific.  I hate
boarding Jake and Molly, but I know they are safe there.  A local vet has a
special cat boarding section.  It is on one side of his clinic, soundproofed
so the cats cant hear dogs and other animals that are in for treatment.
Nice big cages and a big picture window overlooking a nice parking area and
a lake.  So they do at least have nice scenery._
