No one is better at sheltering in place than my cat, Collette. Yesterday was a rough day for her, with all the storms we endued. I wanted to comfort her, so I put on "I Am The Mercury" by Jimmie Spheeris. It was an especially appropriate day to play a song about coming in from the rain, after all. I crouched down to where she was hiding, put two of her favorite cat toys near her, and started stroking her chin. Eventually, she started purring. A little later, I heard the jingling of her pink mousehead toy and saw her bat around her red toy mouse.
"I Am The Mercury" fit yesterday's necessity of seeking refuge from a storm while accepting that storms are inevitable, so this scene will likely repeat itself.
