Anyway, what we have is two cats sleeping about fifteen feet from one another.

In my experience, leaving cats to work out their own territorial boundaries and routines within a house usually works out fine, perhaps after an initial confrontation to establish some sort of pecking order, and it sounds as if Willow and Dude have plenty of room to avoid each other if they so wish: in the wild, most animals (including big cats) will avoid an actual fight unless there is absolutely no alternative, so at worst domestic cats usually only engage in a little prickly posturing when first introduced (not unlike some humans of my acquaintance...) And good morning to one and all - strong coffee, and porridge followed by a toasted and buttered crumpet are on today's breakfast menu for me, and it looks like possible weather for planting tulip bulbs and perhaps even some wild flower seeds.

Lex, with the word "usually" emphasized, I had a very expensive vet bill when a new cat attacked my older cat in the house. Several hundred bucks for stitches and antibiotics because cat wounds are VERY prone to infection.
My garlic has shipped, so today will be getting the bed tilled up and ready for planting. I just finished working up the last of the cloves and dehydrating into dried minced garlic from last year's crop.
Once again, weeds are my life!

Strong coffee, to be sure -- and yes, there is some posturing.

Hello Boomers, hope all is well with you. Sitting quietly here with hubby, he on his laptop, me on mine. It's quite chill here today but we're bundled up and feeling cosy. Yesterday was our 49th wedding anniversary, again spent quietly, and we had a visit from our youngest son. We don't get to see him as much as the others as he works long hours and most weekends so it was lovely we got the chance. Next year will be our Golden wedding, God willing. I can't believe it, where have the years gone? I managed to get most of my Christmas shopping done over the last week, except for a couple of small things. I wasn't really in the mood but thought I would just get on with it, rather than leave it to the last minute. That just leaves the food shopping to attend to later. I don't know what's happening here for Christmas this year, I have a feeling everyone will be staying home. That's okay, I think I would prefer a nice quiet day, just the two of us. Hubby hasn't been too well recently. I wish the appointment would come through for him to have the colonoscopy done so that we had some idea of where he's at. Could I ask for prayers, please, for my nephew Joseph? He was hospitalised with Covid and had quite the time of it. A scan showed extensive blood clots on his lungs and he was on oxygen therapy alongside other treatments. He did well enough initially and they discharged him home. He was home less than a week then had to be rehospitalised with a collapsed lung. That was around two weeks ago. He is still on oxygen therapy with morphine for pain. We are all so worried about him. Time to go and see what's for dinner. Enjoy the rest of your day, everyone. Much love, Mary

A strong cup of Chai first and then I'm diving head first into that coffee, Soot.
There was a serenade in my room early this morning, and I'm not sure which singer was responsible, but since there are no signs of a kerfuffle overnight and Dude is King of the Scratching Post Platform and slept there all night, I think it's time I started closing my door again. I love my cats, but not THAT much.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Oh, yes, Dude is fine with both of us. He's very sweet. He doesn't want lap time, just likes to be in the same room with us, and he loves his brush.
The cats are okay together except -- and this is a big one-- Willow simply cannot leave him alone to eat, even if they're 25 feet apart. She just cannot leave it alone. Even if I take his food downstairs she follows us and he won't eat if she's standing there. She is a chow hound, so I guess that's the one behaviour we have to work on. Otherwise they hang out in the living room with no issues. Dude just ignores her, for the most part.

Buddy Supper at the American Legion tonight. The Auxiliary hosts this every year to honor all our veterans, past and present, with a turkey and dressing dinner. It plays off the old WW I song, My Buddy. I roasted two turkeys yesterday and am making my dressing in the crock pot today.

There's nothing nicer than a full turkey dinner. We haven't really done the whole Thanksgiving thing for a long time, being just the two of us for so long.
We're just having a nice peaceful, rainy morning with a pot of coffee and scones.
EDIT: Holy smokes! There was a tornado in Vancouver. We never have them here. Ever.

Fortunately it didn't come anywhere near us here, but we're getting major winds tonight, I think. At least we know for sure our house doesn't leak.
