Found the cats

[rachelmanija]

When I got back just now from Mel's place and saw that the litter box hadn't been used, I worried enough to embark upon a search. They are in a two-shelf kitchen cabinet thing, Nuala (the gray tabby) on the top shelf and Ripley (the tortoiseshell) on the bottom, which recapitulates their dominant-submissive pattern. I wish I could inform them that no more strange men will be visiting the house any time soon, but still to come are the landlord to open the jammed window in the bathroom, and the bookcase people and loveseat-and-armchair people.

While I was at Mel's place her mother called and, when told that I was there, started saying stuff like, "Tell her I love the back cover! And the little thingies on each page!" Just then my cell phone rang. It was the manager of the Century City Brentano's, to whom I had given an ARC. She wanted to let me know that she had mentioned it to a customer who was a film producer, and the customer had given the manager her contact info to give to me so I could get her an ARC.

I swear I will also tell you guys once the bad reviews and crushing disappointments start coming in.

Hey, did you get Tamora yet?

Speaking of cats, you're full-up it seems, but do you know anyone that wants an adorable kitten? My friend weaselchopsaw (who was a writer/producer on a Henson property, actually) has two kittens seeking good homes. I seem to have exhausted my sources, and thought you might know someone in the LA area?

Oh, that's cool!

Oh, good that you found the cats. Every time I think I've figured out everywhere mine hide, they find a new place. Last time I misplaced Smokey, she had crawled under the covers on our bed and inserted herself between my body pillow and G's knee pillow, so that she looked like just part of the pillows. It took me about twenty minutes of concentrated searching to find her. (I'm a worrywart and always think that a missing cat must have sneaked out the door without my seeing her.)

Wow, how cool!

Your book is incredible. I couldn't put it down. You're not going to get any bad reviews.

I don't think you're going to bad reviews, either. Your bad luck will come out in other ways.

Cooooool on the arc front!

Glad the cats showed up. I wondered if they might have taken to cupboards.

I believe cats often like to hide for a while when they've been forced to move to new places, just to establish one safe hidey-hole. Then they can venture out, knowing they have a place to go. Just cat nature.

Amazon is telling me that the ship date will be in October. It's not released till then?
