Cosmo is not coming back. It’s been a good three plus weeks now, and not a sign of him. While I’m saddened about this, I’m also uplifted by the idea that Cosmo is free to roam, hunt and do what hunter cats do to his heart’s content. We have a long history with Cosmo, he’s almost 10, but as long as he keeps his perky, wanderlust attitude, he’ll be ok for years to come.
And like I said before, the boat has never been as clean and fresh-smelling as it is now, so as someone who lives here, I gotta be happy about that. Sjelle has a special affinity for Cosmo, but knowing what she knows now, especially after Cosmo hand-delivered her a lovely dead bat last spring, she seems to be handling the loss ok overall.
So Godspeed, Cosmo, I and everyone you’ve ever wooed over on Andiamo, will miss you.
Aretha and Lucy, by the way are absolutely fine. Aretha has experienced a bit of weight gain the past few months, but we’re working on that. She’s still in outstanding health even though she’s pushing 13, and hasn’t missed a single beat. Still bitchy as ever too. Gotta love her though. Lucy’s still kickin that cute-kitty thing, no worries there.
