My intern has been coming each week for over 3 years now. Yes, mulching will end until April when I will start again...
Dennis is a "spirit" cat and I have only recently been forgiven for catching her bird inside that window and letting it go, about a month ago. This means she will allow me to occasionally run my hand down her back if I aim well when she jumps up to my hand. That's it. No scratches, no extra pats.... And no approaching her at any time besides meal times.
Ah drat, I should've used my words better. I knew you had an intern, I was just wondering if it was a new one lol!
Oh, Dennis is a fun kitty 🤣, and she seems super independent which is a thing I admire about cat's in general. I'm glad she doesn't use you as a scratching post, I find that rather rude.
So mulching, it's like the movie Groundhog's Day then, yep, that makes sense. I feel your pain on that one...
