desperanceI should have taken a photo last night, of our Poor Sick Boy turned out none the less for guard duty, dragging his ouchy carcass into the kitchen window to protect us all from evil birdies. Tragically, I didn't have my phone with me, so posterity is for ever denied a record of his brave endurance against the pitiless odds of his broken body.

He slept all night in a nest he made in Karen's study. I was worried that he might stiffen up and not want to leave it this morning; but once I'd fired up the computer here in my own study and started checking e-mails as one does, he came steadily through and sat in yesterday's box for a bit. Then, when I headed for the kitchen to make coffee, well:

What did we ever do, to be cursed with a thinking cat?
(Also, as I was distributing breakfast between the bowls, he made his regular leap up onto the laundry basket to supervise the distribution. A little hesitantly, as a cat might who remembered that he couldn't do that yesterday, but then decided to go for it anyway and found after all that he could.)
