walter gomez starts his new life


Walter cannot believe his good fortune.  A whole house to himself?  No Moth?  No LucyFUR?  His very own scratching post, kitty palace, a new catnip banana?  TWO people who will tender to his every whim (aka our house sitters this summer).  Squirrels outside the patio window!  

Quite how I feel after flying a cat to Minnesota - LA traffic jam; having to take him out of his carrier and carry him through security screening (hint to anyone who needs it - in LAXT4, there's no separate kitty-screening room to go to if you're TSA-approved); pulling his little Sherpa bag through miles and miles of airports - let alone the heartbreakingness of taking him to a new home, even if his people already know him and love him to bits - I'll leave it to you to imagine.  But after his savaging of both Moth and Lucy - their septic injuries; the fact of Moth nearly losing one of her pretty ears; Lucy's permanent air of aggrieved trauma; the segregation; the hissing under doors - devastatingly sad though this is for us, it is, I really think, a very happy outcome for him.
