The keeper got up a bit late and went to the noon Mass at the cathedral. She didn't really hear the homily because she was distracted by a man who had passed out in the north transept and was impressed by the way the ushers all dealt with it without missing a step of the Mass. A little eerie actually, the way it happened separate from the communal prayer. But, we suppose that it is all part of an economy of scale--they could do this every weekend. We were thrilled to hear that the keeper ran into the Whisker City bus at the Lake Forest Park Farmers' Market. She spoke to the woman who runs the shelter who remembers Alice when her name was Baby Girl and was all emaciated. Now Alice has her photo on the wall there and is a lot fatter, and bossier, I would say. But the keeper brought home a bag of the special catnip that April Brown's mother grows in Wenatchee. They do such good work, we are proud to be associated with them. The keeper also brought home a big box with pieces of wood that when put together will become a potting bench for the garden. She says there are a lot of pieces and a lot of screws. So it will be a slow project, that teaches her patience. It is her birthday present to herself. It will also make a good scratching post. We had grilled chicken tonight on top of the regular cat food. And we are content.
