   Tom cats consider their test-ickles (GoComics wouldn’t accept the word) as “evil aliens that make me schizophrenic”. When you remove the aliens, they stop getting these unfortunate urges to “roam miles away from safe home, get into fights, pursue this fascinating-smelling female instead of grooming.”

   After the testosterone diminishes, they become much more sane, and seem relieved.

   I never have been able to figure out why you have to “discard” some of the sourdough when you feed it. I’ve got a culture in the fridge (we call it “the alien”, as in “time to feed the alien”) that’s 3-4 years old, and I take some out when I’m going to make bread, feed both the stuff in the bread bowl and the stuff left in the crock, and put the crock back in the fridge the next day, and it seems fine.

   If you possibly can, wait until after Christmas. (I know! Impatience!) There are just so many things dangerous for a new kitty — poinsettia, ribbons, tape, light strings, breakable ornaments, extra people clomping around stepping on things and leaving the door open so a scared kitty can run out…

   After Christmas you’ll have more time to sit quietly and let the kitty(ies) get to know you and their new space.

   Remember Lupin got in the shower; he doesn’t mind water. (He’s nuts, for a cat!)

    I’ll bet that in the scene in Star Wars 3 (Revenge of the Sith) where Amidala names her twins before she dies, there’s an outtake where she says, “Luke…. Laura… (gasp,thud)”
