all made up with nowhere to go

As you may or may not know, my cat is a rescue cat (of sorts; her owner died and we took her in). Well, there were two other cats living with her. One, Mitten, got attacked by her previous owner's boyfriend's dog, and then sent to the RSPCA (I actually wish we'd offered to take her in as well, and really regret not doing so).

The other, Whiskey, got taken in by a lady who lived across the way from the previous owner. After about a year, that lady also died. Now, I know one of her friends looked after the dog (and still has it), but I didn't know what had happened to Whiskey. I knew he was still about, because he's a big solid bruiser, and he thinks he owns the entire area, and occasionally he'd come and harass my cat. After a while, I didn't see him so much, and I thought maybe he'd been taken to the RSPCA too, or maybe he'd died (but I really hoped he hadn't).

I was out delivering Xmas cards for my mum the other day. I happened to walk past one house, and there's this big black cat sitting on the kitchen window sill. As soon he sees me, he jumps off, comes over, and meows at me. I gave him a fuss, he headbutted me, and then we parted ways because I was cold, and he was soggy.

I thought on my way home, "That cat might be Whiskey. It's definitely got his wonky ear (from fighting) and his dodgy eye (probably from the same)". Also that cat's all muscle - he headbutts you, you know about it.

TL;DR version: I just checked my photos on my hard drive, and that cat is most certainly Whiskey. I am so happy, you don't know. That has just warmed the cockles of my heart.

Here's a crochet meme that I'm doing all in one because I'm impatient, and I like questions.

( 30 days of crochet all in one )

As you may gather by the fact that this entry has appeared on your flists at all, I am not out partying with my work colleagues in Halifax. Because it snowed last night (it wasn't supposed to) and not only were the buses fucked, so were the trains.

In a way, I'm sad I didn't go, but on the other hand, I hate this sort of weather, and I'd rather be safe at home than sliding about on my arse fifteen miles away and waiting till god knows when for a train.

So. Feeling a bit like a cow, but there we go.

In other news, Echoes of Time came! The reason it was delayed, aside from the weather? It came from Greece! o_O

It's cool though, and I definitely like it. Which is good. Been playing on it for most of the afternoon (apart from when a surprise nap snuck up on me). I have little to no idea what's going on (because I haven't got very far), and a gender-swapped team from Ring of Fates (which is to say my Clavat and Selkie are female and my Lilty's male. I don't have a Yuke yet).

And on a further FF note, an FF Friday Five (from here)

Questions:

1. A scene that made you cry. Or several, if there's more than one that you can think of, because I know I have more than one (actually like 1000000000000 XDDD)

2. Favorite world map/game world layout

3. Characters from different FF games that you think should totally hook up if there was a crossover.

4. Most annoying NPC

5. If you could live in any FF location, which would it be and why?

OMG, this entry has been sitting here for four hours and I haven't thought of anything else interesting to say. Oh well. Probably time I went and burnt my eyeballs playing more Echoes of Time before I go to sleep, right?
