Where's Ditto?

It has been commented on that there is precious little of Ditto mentioned here of late and that is true, for despite being very much alive and well, two things have contributed to her lack of appearance here. Number one, spring has sprung and in true Ditto fashion she chooses to spend most of her day protecting her territory, taking in the spring air and finding less than delightful 'gifts' to be bestowed at my feet on her return....half a mouse being the latest! Ugh. She is still a little less than enamored of wind than she might be but the lure of the great outdoors, as a rule, now outweighs any lingering fear!


At night of course she is incarcerated indoors with the second reason you have heard less of her shennegins recently, 'hell kitten', the now infamous Tilly, who despite our best efforts to pay equal amounts of attention to both, has a habit of finding mischievous and downright naughty ways to demand our attention and therefore make her way more often here!

Ditto, in comparison, now seems very well behaved, she is heading toward her fifth (human not cat years) birthday and is, at least when inside, genteel and quiet when considered alongside Tilly. She potters about for the most part or sleeps off her days patrolling and keeps madam in some sort of order should she overstep the 'sisterhood' mark. For friends they still are, despite Tilly's constant tormenting and harassing over the last six months.

Ditto, I have to say, deserves a cat medal for her tolerance, she has been stalked, 'hunted', pounced upon unendingly, had her ears bitten (in fun I might add), been shoved off the bed unceremoniously on more than a few occasions and still she will allow the perpetrator of these crimes to play on and to snuggle up next to her and fall asleep, when finally their games have worn them out. Not once has a paw been raised in anger.


So that's where Ditto is, a busy little mog, with a large territory to protect, gifts to be found and a small cat to keep in order! :o)
