Oh, that Fredlet

Seriously... sometimes all it takes to make one's day entirely better is to pet a purring cat. Since my neighbors (and their five cats, and huge bowl of cat food) have moved, I have taken to putting out cat food for Fredlet at night. I am trying my hardest to not completely adopt him but he is making it very hard. The cat purrs so loudly and so fiercely that his whole body shakes. It's like trying to keep hold of a very large cell phone that is set to vibrate.....a vibrating cell phone that jumps and likes to climb up past your shoulder to sit on your head. Tonight's trick was to climb up onto my shoulder, balance himself very precariously on my outstretched arm then try to wrap his tail around my face. Sometimes I wonder if this cat isn't somehow a reincarnation of a former Cirque De Soleil performer or something.
