Never Mind

Let me apologize to all cats and cat owners everywhere. My Umbrian friend informed me that the cat was suffering from the weather, just as a dog would do, and so it wasn't him, or me, but God. And now that the monsoon has stopped and the floodwaters are nearly cresting, and blocked roads will at some point be opened and electricity will conceivably be restored to some, he is once more resting blithely, and thus exceedingly cute again and not trying to eat my eyeballs. Apologies for any confusion.
