Tagging along on the current trip is “Buttons” the cat. After a trip to the vet to assure that he didn’t have feline leukemia or AIDS or some other infectious horribleness, he got packed along in the hopes of finding him a home. It had been my expectation that Raedthin would pretty much shrug off the trip, that Fingers would have a hell of a good time, and that Buttons would freak out. I got Raedthinn right, but Fingers and Buttons I had reversed. He has taken to civilized livin’ quite easily… even though I’ve failed to find anyone who wants him. It’s starting to look like I’ll be returning him to Utah… where he’ll stay in my house from there on out. Gah.
While Buttons is having an exciting adventure, the other cats don’t have much use for him. Largely, I expect, this is due to him being The New Guy. But for now, he’s not overly welcome in the catpile.

Well, if your adventures took you to Toronto, I would interested in taking him, but a student house isn’t much of a home for a cat, unfortunately.

“Little do those two foolish cats realize that I am an agent for
Maximum Commander Generalissimo Meowolini. It was I that introduced the aphrodisiacs into their cat food that have left them docile and weak, so interested in looking into each other’s eyes that they cannot see the web of treachery drawing tighter about them by the second! At the correct moment a bit of chloroform in their sleeping noses, into the UPS shipping box they go, and their new romantic life deep in the heart of the Amazonian rain forest begins!
Meowolini shall richly reward me for my actions, little suspecting that once I am inside of Scott’s house I shall use my position to overthrow _him_ also, for I am really a Communist agent provocateur – secret party name “Red Buttons” – working under the very nose of that old Fascist cat and his doomed political system!”
