Well, the phantom cat in the house is exploring more and more. I got up this morning to find he had found the catnip again, scattered it around the living room, and vanished again. If I didn't know there was a cat in the house, I would think the place was haunted. So at 5:30 AM, I was vacuuming the living room and then getting ready for work.

I put out more food, checked on him via the flashlight, and then left for work. When I got home, I opened the door and caught a fleeting blur of him running down the stairs from the living room to get back to the laundry room. So he's coming out and looking around during the day. Good signs I think.

More names have surfaced in the cat-naming game. One co-worker suggested "Skeeter." Two co-workers like "Milo." I thought of "Hobo" to go along with his history of being a stray, then thought of "Mojo" in keeping with the M-names. I wish I knew more of his personality because I think that would help pinpoint a direction to go with names.

Each day seems to bring a little progress, so we'll see what happens tomorrow.

Please gods, not "Skeeter." I've had that one tossed at me all of my life, and I'd ban it from the English language if I could.

I suppose you could call him "Streaky," if Supergirl hadn't already name HER marmalade supercat the same thing.

ooooooooooh... Streaky. It's a dupe but it may well be an appropriate name for this one considering he keeps zooming around.

LOL... I wasn't big on "Skeeter," but I admit that "Streaky" could be cool.

Glad to hear that progress is being made.

How about Mungo?

LOL... Mungo doesn't roll off the tongue very well.

Oh okay. I must have a different tongue to everyone else.

Perhaps he's still searching for his missing testicles. ;)

Here's hoping he settles in soon and you wind up with a purring lap-kitty.

He'll not find those in this house.

I hope he settles in soon. I'm starting to worry about him.
