Gandalf the Fool just ran outside into the sleet.
What possessed this fool cat to venture outside, across the lawn, and over the neighbor's fence while it sleets on his head is a mystery to me.

I hope I don't find Gandalf the Popsicle in the morning. :scared:

1. Sounds like you named him aptly.
My little fur-buddy 'Colonel Thompson' runs and hides in my shirt drawer
when he hears sleet.

Or a hard rain...or high wind...or when I crumple plastic bags...
He was not named "aptly" so much as "hopefully"...*sigh*

2. Yeah, he's the Grey Pilgrim.
I predict at 4am this morning I'll hear a chorus of meows outside my sliding glass door. I'll be looking out for trolls.

3. Is he a SOLID grey kitteh?
I know it's not cool to ascribe stereotypes according to color,
what with calling myself a "liberal" and all....
but every solid grey cat I've known personally was just a
seriously determined wanderer.

6. Go out and look for him!
He may be injured and unable to move.

7. Last night we ventured outside with a flashlight...
and caught two pairs of golden eyes staring at us from the long grass of the green belt. They both took off when we saw them. Had one of them been Gandalf, he would have turned and headed toward us. Unfortunately neither did. :(

8. My cat loves that shit
but he's from upper York State





I've spent 20 minutes picking the ice out of his fur in the past.
