Friday Cat Picture: Monchhichi on Christmas Day 2008

Technorati Tags: ,

Monchhichi: Christmas Day 2008Monchhichi is family (Vicki talks to him like a grandchild), living with middle son Nat Whitten and S’ann Hall in the Capitol Hill area of Seattle.

With the unusual cold, snow, and ice in Seattle in December, it was difficult for Vicki to travel from West Seattle to sit with the cat while its human family was in California for the holidays.  We were basically icebound and driving was out of the question. 

Vicki learned how to travel there by bus (1.5-3 hours on delayed, snow-adjusted routes), spending the morning and afternoon, keeping the lonesome kitty company.  On Christmas Day we went together, preparing a French toast breakfast and keeping the cat company. 

‘Chhichi was very lonely and cried for an hour or longer when we first arrived.  Fortunately, a stay-over cat sitter, the other grandmother, arrived that afternoon and the cat was restored to accustomed companionship.

Another satisfying part of visiting Monchhichi for the day was the availability of DSL service and a 4-port router that I was able to connect directly into the Ethernet port of Quadro, my Tablet PC.  That allowed me to perform the initial setup for the blog that I have long threatened to set up for Vicki, her Millennia Antica: Kiln Sitter’s Digest.  By the next day she had made her first-ever blog post.
