Cats--the very stupid animals that cannot communicate

Scalini has been down here in the study all day because workmen are going in and out of both the upper floors. She had a very good sleep and was up for a while. I was typing about the Melville great grandchildren when she honked honked ten time to me. I got up and asked if she wanted to be brushed but she raced to the Mission Chair which I bought for myself but never get to sit in and jumped up and waited to be covered with her Serengeti sheet. I wish she could communicate the way dogs can.

Of course, once she is covered she is invisible and cannot be disturbed by noises from outside or inside.
