Cat watch day 3: Not always a winner

MANOUVERING: Isis id enjoying the perfect spot on top of my freezer.


These two cats have changed some over the years - the younger, Isis, is a larger cat than Titi, and far more agressiv. In earlier years it often led to Titi being denied to be cuddled if Isis was around.

Not anymore. The older versions of both are more even, and Titi is able to be more frenziec fighting back. So, now they chase each other around a couple of times a day, and it is not always Isis who wins these small fights (my flats inventory, on the other hand...).

No pain, no gain

But after all, Isis is a cat, and heartily denies any allegations of loosing the battle for the sunny spot on the window sill, claiming only to have taken a strategic regrouping position on top of the freezer.

Thereby she has proven that if you got one paw in the the sun and the other paw at the freezer, on average you're doing fine.

More, nearly completely unrelated read

I do like the phrase "strategic regrouping position". It is such a nice way of sayng "OK, I lost the battle, not the war". Here are a list of other words and phrases as good as that, but sadly obsolete, at least in English.
