On Thursday, lxbean and citykitties and I had dinner at Alex's house. After consuming two large bottles of wine and stuffing ourselves on basmati rice and okra, Alex proceeded to try to corral her furry foster Clarence into my Sherpa Bag. While Clarence did eventually end up inside, he *bit* Alex pretty badly, causing her to *need surgery* on Friday. I hope she is doing OK.

And now the Evil Kitten of DOOM is running around my apartment, harassing elmo_the_cat. Actually, Clarence is aggressively trying to be friendly with Elmo, running up to him and rubbing all over him. At first Elmo just ignored him - walked away or jumped down when Clarence got too friendly. But now my normally placid kitty is losing his patience, delivering smackdowns and hisses to the Evil Kitten of DOOM. Hopefully Clarence will learn his lesson and reign in some of his neediness before Elmo makes a light snack of him.

I was warned that Clarence would be skittish around humans, but very friendly towards cats. However, he does jump up and allow me to pet him - a little bit - and then jumps back down. I got him to keep Elmo company while I am away this summer. We will see how it goes.
