Incorrigible

[la_marquise]

I came back from running various errands to find two blokes waiting outside the house next door, waiting for the owner (it's a rental house, currently empty, so they had an appointment to do some work). They were engaged on the highly important activity of making a fuss of Ish. He had apparently walked up to them and demanded attention. They were both utterly delighted by him: one was sitting on the ground so Ish could clamber over him, and the other was bending down to stroke him. I was asked lots of questions about him, too. They stayed like that, worshipping himself, until the owner arrived -- about 15 minutes. Ish then sauntered home nonchalantly.
This is Ish all over. I regularly see him mug people walking on the nature reserve and he visits most of my neighbours. But I do wish I'd had my camera earlier: two big stripping guys busy adoring one compact cat.

big stripping guys

I think you meant "strapping", but the image that conjures is wonderful!

Oops.
Yes, strapping...

Yes, that was a mental image I didn't expect...

I suspect typos in the last para were due to my arrival on the scene! But this is an especially felicitous one.

We aim to please!

cats... such flirts.

All of our Singapura girls have, at various times, tried to get themselves kidnapped by visiting salesmen by hiding in their open briefcases.

Both Ish and Moon adore visitors.

Ah, now that's a fine typo...

If he's up to nonchalant sauntering, I'm assuming that Ish's paw is back to normal?

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

The paw is now very well.
Mooncat is anxiously awaiting your reappearance. She just can't get the service out of her daily humans...

Tell her that I come, beloved, I come...!
