Dear Diary, I was hoping the day would never come, but it has. Little SaraSue has started to eat dry food. I suppose if you're a cat, which she is, and you watch 5 other cats eat stuff day after day, which she did, you'd eventually figure out you could eat it too -- and she did.

Why should I care? That means the canned food is going to become scarce. At least she works well for a blanket. Warmth is important to me. SaraSue's a little heavier than blankets, but she is nice and warm.

Speaking of warm, that's just what Indi wasn't two days ago. She was laying out near the driveway, by the barn, cold as could be and stiff. Not a drop of warmth left in her. My human picked her up and placed her on top of the fire pile. To warm her up, I guess. I haven't seen Indi since then.
