It is an entirely good thing you did not give my cats that toy until after the wards work was mostly done. I keep stopping to watch them.
(I'm quite sure my sister will want one too - you said it was Adiaphoron Entwhistle, in Alnwick? Did I tell you that Sage has been staying with Diane and Chiron for the last month or two? Her job in New London let her go, and besides, security and all. So distractions to keep her cats occupied and off the dog, much appreciated. Diane's still - well, difficult. Distractions for her, much appreciated, too, and I haven't been able to do much beside stay well away and not make things worse.)
There's something about the way it rolls and the tail twitches, and then exactly how long it stops and teases them with the light, before it rolls off again. Not quite predictable, but not startling, either.
I've been thinking about the soothing properties of cats, actually. (I've been handing Linus one of them, at intervals, and he does find it comforting.) On my list, for if we ever get bored, years from now, research into the effects of familiars on various factors and the well-being of students.
Beyond that, I'm feeling at least a little less at sea - Septima and I had the beginnings of a good discussion after lunch, though we got interrupted part way through. You? I'm still juggling various pieces, but if there's something I can help you with, I'm quite willing.
