. . . while we are lucky enough to have our own personal greeter.
Midnight is an unusually self-aware kitty cat, very likely due to the enriched kittenhood environment. How many kittens get storytime? He seemed especially to like the James Herriot's animal stories for children. I think he gets along better with humans than with cats. Maybe this is because his early experience with feral dairy cats wasn't so good? His brother, Starlight, and he don't get along so well, and he's lost contact with the rest of his family.
Frances and Athena found him at the dairy. We didn't really need a cat, esp. with the household of asthmatics. But his food dish was an overturned manure shovel into which one of the workers had poured a bit of milk. And his "meeeowwww" was so pitiful. We thought at the time that he was skinny, but he seems just to have a slender build. He really is his own kitty cat.
What a great, entertaining conversation with Carsten :)
