Things That Scared Sora Today
The lawn guys.
I don't blame him for that - it's a lot of noise and weird smells drifting in from outside for one little cat to take, especially when he's as much of a snowflake as Sora is. But he's getting better! He usually takes refuge in the built-ins in the hall for the duration, but today he didn't go inside them. Instead, he found the exact geographic center of the house, in the hall, and lay there on the floor.
Nefer, on the other hand, is in her Current Spot*, which is on top of the cat furniture in the corner of my office where two outside walls meet, near a window, and very close to where all the machinery and noise is. She remained alert, but relaxed, as the importance of Not Losing the Spot was prioritized over Avoiding the Cat-Getters.
* In my experience, cats will pick a favorite spot to sleep or lounge, stay there for a few days or a couple of weeks, then pick another one. Mom thinks ancestral cats evolved the habit to get away from the fleas building up in the area.
