CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT! CAT UP A TREE!

Henry got stuck up a tree again. The one by the garage. I got up on the garage roof because we couldn’t see him from the ground. He was actually quite high up and there was no way I was going to be able to reach him. We had to leave him up the tree over night. This morning my mom found him hiding in the bushes in the back alley. CW was right – he would find a way to get down. He told me that cats always do – eventually they come down because they’re either a) hungry, or b) have to use the litter box!

My mom’s concern was raccoons and coyotes. But I told her that he’s about the size of a raccoon, and they are scavengers so Henry wouldn’t be an interest. And with him being stuck up a tree, coyotes aren’t a concern because they can’t climb trees. Besides, it was in our backyard. My only concern is I think that Henry poked his eye with a branch because he’s squinting in one eye. If he’s still squinting in a few days I will take him into the vet to make sure that nothing is stuck in there and getting infected.

KNITTING

So I’ve been slowly knitting CW’s new scarf – yea it’s my side project. It’s a super simple stitch, and it’s reversible which is nice. I found it as a free pattern here. It’d be great practice for a beginner who wants to learn k2tog and yo.

I was worried about the baby blue in the yarn, so I asked him if he’d prefer a yarn thats also a variegated blue, but a little less contrasty than the one I’m using. He said he really didn’t know because it’s difficult to picture what hasn’t been knitted yet, so I decided to stick with my choice because its sooooo soft, which is super important to me for scarves.
