Thump, thump, thump

pameladeanI'm hoping to do a series of updates, but we all know how that goes.
In the meantime, the cat. He is bored and annoyed from time to time, but, as predicted by several astute commenters to my previous entry, has learned to wield the splinted paw quite featly. The paw is his dominant one. Mostly he has learned to use the uninjured one instead, so I believe it to have been no mistake when, on the first day of the season that I did not open my office window for him, he banged on the window with the splint rather than scratching on it with the good paw. He has also bonked me on the nose with the splint several times, but I think that those incidents were the result of genuine miscalculation. He has not hit any feline housemates on the head with the splinted paw yet, but he has eyed them speculatively and they have backed down.
Amazingly, he has not removed the splint, though bits of it are getting threadbare. I have lost him twice because he was in places I deemed too high for him to have gotten to. There are two or three weeks left, and we will all probably survive this.
Thank you all for your patience.
