Close Call – A Tale

The other day I came home from work and was in the living room talking to Manolis. Maria was on the floor with Kijana, as usual. Suddenly, I heard a noise from Kijana. I looked down and saw Maria biting Kijana’s tail. Kijana was not happy, but was trying not to overreact. Naturally, I flew down to them, moved Kijana’s strong legs and sharp claws away from Maria’s sweet, tender face; then tried to simultaneously pry Maria’s jaws open while releasing her Herculean grip from Kijana’s tail. Eventually, we had success–a smiling baby, happy kitty, and relieved parents. Close call. Too close. I shudder to think… Thank goodness Kijana is so sweet and understanding. And a few seconds later, she was laying right next to Maria again, so no hard feelings.

We just got back from a wonderful birthday party/family reunion in Nebraska. Details coming soon…
