I win over the night. I had been bored but boredom is no determent. It is discovery’s littermate. In my pawing into gaps I have tapped a surface lost for moons. Almost 3 moons in fact. The indoor tree climbing kit so thoughtfully set up in December was covered in these small polymer balls and one I squirreled away for a bored day, I have finally brought out to play. It makes a lovely ding when I bounce it back and forth off the electric heater’s metal.

Static electricity keeps moving. In the dark as I am rubbed the right way there is an electrical storm shifting over the cloudlike nature of my fur. The charge is transferred and dispersed in discharges at inconvenient moment such as when I bow my head to drink out of the metal bowl. It’s like pavlovian training for dehydration. And then there is the matter of this styrofoam stuck to my nose in the most unqueenlike fashion.

I want up on a lap. The components of the two laps are scattered this way and that one odd angles but there is one leg half under one chair. If I hop to and from the chair I cans scale that leg, use it as a bridge to the one lap and cross over the other which with the triangulation of legs could make a nice long term curled nest sleep spot. So, first I’ll have to circle and see what angle to best to get up on the chair from without hitting my spine on the underrail of the table like last time. Hounds! but that hurt. Let the bridge invasion begin…

There are those who beleive in animal apartheid, those animal separatists who feel “freedom” is founded on distinct bloodlines having no business or social communication. They eschew the fundamental unity of all beings as Catess Mror herself even promoted that even as carnivores my nature, it is our inheritance to respect as much as it is to consume. I beelive the simian expression that comes cloest says, “you are what you eat”. Cultural collisions rather than cultural enrichments are inevitable when we keep away from our unlike kind, whether that is simian, canine, avian, chlorophyllian, feline, or divine.

If I stare out the window at middle distance like this and remember Orian quad-MR9, and squint, I can imagine each of these snowflakes is a bird and I am swinging my shoulders dancing among the inidiginous avian species with stark plummage of white on cream by day and in one of the three sunsets under teh ultraviolet rays, turn into clawstrips and polkadot eyes like nioluminescent worms writhing as they fluff their plummage. That was a lovely trip.

I have spent the postnoon on telenus prime, dimension 5 through the avian portal. Now as absorbing as it all was.( I do love the sensation of being zigzagged even if it does my intestines the jiggles, changing the frequency of my large resonant chamber to being more of a harpichord purr), time has come for food.

My colleague has done the yowling route of first direct route. I have tried the sitting upon to emphasize my wasting away famished pre-feeding weight. Now comes strategy 3, the deep gaze eye-lock hypnotic attempt at telepathy until the hairless tom gets the food already.

Does this look appear amused. You have played quite enough bird singing Cds now. I enjoyed the logic game once. Very nice. I have figured out that it is not real birds on the window. I am awake. You’ve had your giggles and chortle. Now please, I need my beauty sleep or I’ll look as peaked and droopy eared as a simian.

I have been trying to track down that odor. It seems to shift. At first I thought it was fridge related simian foot smell cheese. Then I realized, no it’s them. Once a daily grooming really isn’t enough.

I see, the food is a serve yourself buffet today. The can with the plastic lid just needs a few pokes to get open so I nuzzle mu nose in there and lick it cleaner than my colleague’s hiney.

Now, for the next amusement, I think I’ll what range of simian sounds I can provoke with a claw to the leg. har. purr.

I have fresh water dispensed for me but it is mere plain tap water in an easy to access bowl. This will not do. A lady such as I needs variety. I am autonomous. I can fend for myself beyond retrieving from hidden places the amusing rattley balls at 2 am. I can get special herbal and floral infused drinking water if I just wait for the simians to vacate the rain room si I can lick the tub.
