Gigi is magic!

[sepdet]

Akycha sent an adorable little Gigi-charm (black cat from Kiki) as a bow on a solstice package, and I wound up hanging him from the sunshade in my car, which gets used more often than a broom in this establishment.

While out driving Monday, I noticed he'd fallen off the keychain. I'd even noticed something falling down when I got out of the car the day before, hitting my foot in the wheel well, but at the time I hadn't been able to tell what it was. The keychain-- the kind with the linked metal balls -- was still dangling, but no kitty. I assumed the ring at the top of his head had broken. So when I stopped, I searched the wheel well carefully, and also the floor of my garage. No luck. There's some mess I need to tidy up in the passenger side, and I hoped that's where he'd wound up.

I searched a bit next time I was in the car, too. No luck. "I really gotta clean up paper and books and do a thorough search," I told myself.

Until he reappeared hanging from the keychain.

Beige car ceiling and visor. Black cat figure. I first missed it while driving outside, in the sunshine, so it wasn't like the black cat had just vanished in the shadows.

Well, he did take a detour during the movie.

He was clearly pouncing on something on the floor. It just took him a while to get back up.

My ankle, evidently! Which is of course a perfectly normal thing for a cat to pounce. Thank you for explaining; I feel so silly now for not having realized the obvious.

I had no idea I was sending you anything out of the ordinary.
