Oh, just spend a little time with the cats. And Ghost is still being a jerk because they all came up to say hello and get their pets. And of course, he chased, chased poor old Hayes right away again because he's just a jerk. And actually, when I walked into the back of the yard, He, he was, ghost was antagonizing, um, Converse, the big, the big soft cat. He just lays there and puts up with it instead of putting them in his place.

Just a little morning check on the, on, on the kit, on the cats. We had... Hazelnut, also known as Hayes, in the nice little corner hiding behind the, uh, hiding behind the lavender. And then around the back of the house, we had Ghost and Smokey hanging out on the back porch, and then finally, Converse crashed out under the company car until I depart for the day. So, they, the typical routine is a can of cat food every morning, and a can of cat food every evening, split between the 4 cats, with water out on the front porch, and access to the garage, and the garage has an opening right to the basement. So, they have access to a very cool place. If the day gets hot, they can just go down into the basement, which is cool. But they, they hang out wherever they, wherever they hang out. And I go out and interact with them, pet them, walk them around my yard, and treat them. a couple times throughout the day, and they, they tend to stay pretty much right around my house, and in the areas that I've prepared for them to be able to hang out in. There's a, there's a, there's a box out there that's a storage container that I cut a hole in and stuffed with straw and through one of my old work shirts in it, so they can hang out there, and there, there are things to crawl on and things to explore, and it's, uh, it's not a bad life for the cats. Even though they still do really want to come into the living area with me. I'm much happier interacting with them, and they're in their world rather than letting them invade, invade my world.
