December 29, 2021. Ancaster, Ontario. Muskoka, the Cat.

All cats and independant but Muskoka the cat is more independant than other cats. Muskoka is 4. She never liked their other cat, C.A.T., the one that just went to kitty heavan. They never liked each other but they never actually had a fight. They just stayed away from each other. Muskoka does not like children so when kids are in the house, the cat disappears somewhere in the house. Even Wendy can not find Muskoka. Forest is Alana's dog. When Forest is visiting, Muskoka does her disappearing act and is never seen until Forest leaves. Muskoka refuses to eat from her bowl on the floor if Forest is in the house which he does many times. So Wendy and Ken must put the cat food up on a table so Muskoka can eat. I have been here two weeks and only yesterday Muskoka would allow me to pat her, and I like cats. Most of the time, I seldon see Muskoka. She is a beautiful cat with four white paws and a white face with grey markings and a body mottled with black, white and grey. But when we three sit on the couch to watch a DVD, which we have been doing this week, Muskoka streaks across the floor and jumps on Ken's lap, all set to watch with us. It is the most astonishing scene. I have not seen the cat for hours and all of a sudden, the cat somehow knows that we are going to watch TV. Now it is true that we watch TV after dinner but that clever cat must be watching us even when we do not know where the cat might be. Muskoka stays on Ken's lap until the end of the show. But before any of us move, the cat jumps down and runs away. Somehow or another, Muskoka knows when the end has arrived even though the music and the credits are still running. So is Muskoka also watching the show? Who knows. But that cat is clever and pretty and I like that cat Muskoka.
