Me-usings and Me-emories

1 Mar 2026 - Just this morning I heard a first-of-the-season sound, a sound that sent me to various portals trying to catch a glimpse of its origins.  One of my kind paid our domicile a visit, meowing as it sauntered past.  I admit:  his audacity made me growl.  But what, besides that, can I do?  We can have a glaring standoff!  And how does he know I'm inside? True, I spend lots of time, weather permitting, on my personal screened porch... maybe that is sufficient.  Certainly my nose can detect faint traces of "out there" on my peeps' clothes (and especially shoes)... maybe he can smell me and has come calling.  (I know better than to think it is a social visit.)
