Madeleine is a very confused young maine coon. She has been having a difficult time without Luther around to show her how to be a cat.
So, without his guiding influence, she has been exploring the alternatives.
This morning, she decided that today was a good day to learn about being a towel. She nosed open the linen closet, removed the offending towel and table cloth in her way, and proceeded to spend most of the day in the linen closet. Being a towel seemed to suit her very well.
However, she did get hungry and after eating, was anxious to try something else. A short time was spent under the buffet table exploring the options involved in the occupation of a dust bunny. While dust bunnies are fluffier than towels and she resembles one more, I have to approve of the short time she chose to dedicate to this exploration. I was concerned about her judgment on the matter. Towels are much more sophisticated than dust bunnies and I am grateful that dust bunnihood did not suit her as well.
Now, however, she has taken up residence in my husband's chair....I am wondering what Ross will think about his replacement!
Edit: After evaluating the situation, Ross has corrected my observation. Madeleine has not set out to be a husband, but rather an ass donut. I am deeply disturbed about what this portends for her future.

Yeah, it would be a bit harder to do the hostel thing with a signficant other. At least if you had any intention of :ahem: enjoying each others company on the trip and not completely squicking out your hostel-roomates!
Things in my life are up and down -- got married, got separated, getting divorced. (Very long story -- essentially he decided he didn't want to be married anymore and off he went.) But I have a nice house and a very cool dog and kitties, and not being destitute or friendless I really can't complain. (I do whine just a little though from time to time, which you will now be privy to since you're my New LJ Friend!) Anyway, back to work :)
