began rummaging all through desk tiring to And the address book He can Ktaep through anything 1 even up when a car changes gear out on the road I guess that dates back to the night a car stopped out the front for a minute and found the morning a kitten had faacn run over Now when a car slows down 1 make a mental inventory of all the animals There used to be another sound that cut into sleep some summers back There would be a bonk on the roof then a uddeud Then another bonk and so on It sounded like a stone being dropped onto the roof and rolling down the slight incline but I ve gone up in the morning and There nothing there Seagulls and clamshells There were nights loo when a couple of birds I almost positive they were Roadrunners that missed a turn in New Mexico insisted on having pitty patty races around the roof That went nicely with the rumble of little feet under the bed when the kittens woke up for the night The birds are gone now but kittens are per petual I don mind really as long as the stay under the bed It a when the chase comes up on top and across about knee level that 1 start to complain Gord gets right furious when one lies in ambush behind his knees then leaps out to kill the second one on his stomach The adult cats just walk around with their soft pat pat pat relying on their pattern to wake me up to let them out They begin by padding up and down the hall with pauses the bedroom door The more urgently the have to go the faster they walk Next the pause becomes a few steps in and out of tht room and finally to the of the bed I don t know how they manage it but they sit in such a way that I can HEAR them sitting there looking at me If that t move me they know darn well that a ew well placed claws in bedroom armchair 111 Part of our bit included closing up the openings to the crawlspace between the roof and ceilings of some of the rooms Cod eyed cat used to climb up there via the filing cabinet in the den and rummage around in the insulation for awhile To get down she chose the bedroom route which meant tumping 8 feet down onto our bed which was long as we weren in it After being landed on a few times at the first rustle of insulation up above our heads we dove for the sides of the bed to give the cat a clear field Even though that problem is taken care of now there are always others Gord objects to being slept on and lm always removing a cat from his chest or stomach He asked me to do something about the cats and HAVE tried talk to them and point out the error In their ways but it never seems to do much good One help I ve found for the days after the sleepless nights when 1 tn not really too bright all day long is having a jar of Cooking Sauce the frig It really helps when meals must be thrown together a hurry COOKING
