Don't want to be premature, but it looks like I may see another christmas and see in a new year, I'm wobblier than ever, but feeling a new lust for life (or dreamies anyway....) and getting forgetful just means theres more to (re)discover in my house; for example: upstairs! in all my nature worship this summer, my world was pretty much the garden, now with the chilly weather, I've discovered my house has an upstairs, with warmth and catnip mice, so I have to patrol there, even though these stairs are twice as steep and high, as the stairs of my youth were! Also I've been tolerating, and even seeking out, a little head fuss, the humans here seem anxious to pet me a little every day, and to be honest, it doesn't hurt me any either, they're good sorts, and we won't be around for ever, so I've started seeking out strokes a bit more...

P.S. did I mention what every Igor wants for xmas? dreamies and stinkies (catnip fish to you)! You can buy me some of those on this thing called a WishList...
