Our weather has definitely taken a nosedive over the
last 2 weeks or so.  Somewhat chillier in the daytime
than is normal for us along with even chillier nights.
Last night we were down to 26°F (-3.33°C) 🥶 and I'd
made up my mind earlier in the week when I strip the
bed today the comforter would be joining the blanket
and lightweight quilt on my bed.
 
Anybody else been piling blankets and quilts on their
bed in the last few day??  Ed & Jill, you can tell us
you've been running the a/c as you sweat just reading
this post.

 
LOL I don't know about Ed but it got colder here on Thanksgiving,
high temps in the 40's and again today.  It finally feels like
Fall.  I've had the heat on.  I still won't need a quilt on my
bed, though.
 
The woman who rescued Cleo dropped her off at my house yesterday
morning.  I let Cleo out of the carrier in my bedroom.  She hid
under the bed, as expected.  She started coming out gradually
when I'd go in the bedroom and call her name.  She made a
bee-line for the food bowls, then she'd go back under the bed.
But now she's coming out almost immediately when I walk in say
her name, and she's letting me pet her.
 
I used the scoop to make scratching sounds in the litter box as
soon as she arrived.  The litter box is in the water closet
(toilet & tub area) of the bathroom.  She found it and has been
using it.  She stayed in the bedroom under the bed most of the
day today but she's getting more brave.  Just now she's ventured
out into the living room, where I'm sitting at my desk typing.
I'm ignoring her.  Letting her explore on her own.  No pressure.
 
I thought she was a grey tabby with a white face and bib.  Turns
out she's actually brown with black spots and stripes on her body
and two white stockings on her back feet.  I'll try to get some
pics when she's more comfortable in her new surroundings.  She's
a beautiful kitten!

She can't hear you. ;)
