1.12.02 – my, you look fetching tonight

hannah comes back on monday, yay. although i am enjoying the freedom to walk around the house naked whenever i please and never do the dishes, it’ll be nice to have my roommate back. i’m a social creature. i crave companionship far more than i do personal space. besides, at 55 degrees, walking around the house naked really isn’t that much fun, and in the end, i have to wash the dishes in order to eat off of them again.

zeke has acquired the cutest habit – at night i get into bed with a book and zeke brings me a toy mouse. i throw it across the room, he flies through the air like a whiskas commercial, captures the mouse, and brings it back to me. repeat until i get sleepy or he loses the mouse. on his way back to my bed he has to pass a mirror, and on about half of his trips, he pauses in front of the mirror with the mouse in his teeth, turns this way and that, lowers his head, poses, and generally checks himself out before heading back to me with the mouse. i know cats spend a lot of time grooming, but i didn’ t know they could get vain enough to use a mirror.
