Awhile ago my mom gave me this little quilt she found at goodwill to use for the cats. I suspect my mom washed it in catnip before she gave it to me, because they think it is the coolest thing ever. They sleep in it, they make tents out of it, they wrap themselves up in it, they play in it, and they hide in it. They like it so much they drag it around from room to room. They’ve currently placed it under our kitchen table.
I can’t say I blame them; I’ve wanted to spend all my time with a blanket lately too. It has been cold here. It was cold enough that they canceled school on Friday.
I attempted to capture the blanket cuteness with a picture, but as you can see above I didn’t quite get it. I don’t see cute there. I see crafty intelligence. I see the side of Luigi that makes him smart enough and curious enough to explore pretty much anything. I see what surely created the phrase “curiosity killed the cat” because his curiosity is not tempered by a survival instinct. He will jump, climb, and slide down anything. We’ve had to rescue him from behind the water heater, twice.
So while my cat has been getting himself into trouble like always, I’ve been knitting. I should have a new finished project to show you in a day or two.
Keep warm.
