Update on Fred the Cat

First of all, Fred the Cat, is just fine. He’s his usual cranky self. In fact he’s so fine that once again I had to have five large screen panels replaced on our patio. He still gets frisky on cool morning and since we have had a whole lot of cool mornings this winter, he has happily destroyed some of the screens. He starts running around the pool at warp speed, leaps up on the ledge and stretches himself up as high as he can reach with his front paws on the screen and then proceeds to sharpen his claws.

He has been told repeatedly to stop and he will if we happen to catch him doing it. All we have to do is open the sliding glass doors and say, “Fred, cut it out”. Trouble is we can’t watch him every minute all day long and he knows it. He may be cranky, but he’s not stupid. Plus he thinks he is so damned cool wearing his collar that has little peace signs all over it.
