Portrait of a Bijou As A Young Cat. #cats #daintycat
And second, I have adopted a second cat. Her name is Bijou and she's a dilute calico. Same age as Theo, though half his size. They spend half their time playing and the other half setting firm boundaries. Today they sniffed noses! #cats

My new cat, Bijou. She’s been pretty shy so far, but today she and Theo played long and hard. I’m glad she’s feeling more at home. #cats

Young Theo in sink mode. You can’t hear but he’s purring like an outboard motor. Please note his fur is dense and soft. All of this is very soothing, I find.

Okay, I've been browsing PetFinder and now I've gone and submitted an application for an adorable orange calico cat. If I end up with another cat, this will be all your fault. :)

Day #9: Hot air balloon ride! The driver collected me and a few others at 6:30 and drove us to a tent outside the city where we had tea, coffee, and some pastries before they drove us another small stretch to where the balloon was being prepped.

Eventually the conductor came by, told me my error, and helped me and my luggage to the right spot. I arrived in Marrakech to the taxi I'd arranged. The manager of the riad met me at the drop off point just outside the old city and brought me and my luggage to the riad.

Day #4: The main points of the day were a visit to the park to read and enjoy the sunshine, and during a search for tea, I wandered into a rug shop & bought a rug. (Also, they gave me tea.) On the way back to the hotel, I wandered through plazas & impromptu flea markets. I also got VERY VERY lost.

Next day, breakfast was delicious. I returned to the airport for an emotional reunion with my bag. Came back and napped before seeking out a place for lunch/dinner.

Luckily, the taxi I had arranged had not given up on me. He drove me to my hotel where I showered and fell into bed. Hotel excellent. Room a lovely suite. Bed comfortable.

Sometimes I wake up to all my drawers and cabinets open, because SOMEONE got active in the middle of the night. Sometimes he gets stuck under the kitchen sink because the doors are auto close. Here is Young Theo at work:

Oh and dinner continued the upward trend. I picked a restaurant, navigated there w/o getting lost or run over. Tasty food and my first time tasting Moroccan tea.

Hello, folks! *dusts off this account*
What's been going on since last year? Lots, including a divorce, two moves, and my beloved Fig-Cat dying. Writing has been a struggle but I'm getting there. Step by step. Word by word.
Meanwhile, meet my new cat-companion, Theo.
