I am packing away items for the big move, which is now just under a month away. One notices immediately a diminution of space. When one packs up, for instance, books, one cannot put them back where they came from - a bookcase - because the bookcase needs to be empty in order to be moved. This results in heavy boxes all over the little floor space available, and pathways, as in an ever-growing labyrinth.
So far, I have observed only two changes among the cats. One is negative, but mild. Neville doesn’t care for encountering other felines during his ambling through the apartment. Indigo, who dislikes my other beasts, will sometimes object to the Nevsky’s proximity in a manner which frightens the latter. Nev has therefore become a little more careful in his navigation of the forming routes through his home.
On the plus side, Indie has started to come out of the library more. She had begun this prior to the start of packing up, but that activity seems to have accelerated the process somewhat. This is good, since, if I am lucky enough to capture the outsider-cats, one, or possibly more, will have to go into the library for acclimatisation, and Indigo will have to stay out. This will be a big enough change for her, without a head start now.
Otherwise, the cats are taking the changes in stride. Imogen keeps trying to jump from the micro-wave oven into empty boxes, which usually tumbles them, and her, over. Brazil periodically races about among the new obstacles. Though he may miss Tempo’s companionship, he is making his own fun.
So far, not so bad…
Excellent progress. I am glad things are going so well. The cats were a concern to my thinking, and I am pleased things are going well. You know how they are about things being changed, Your gang is taking it well.
