Darling Clementine Hideaway

Clementine is so great because she's so secure and curious. She's not afraid of the hiss the screen door makes when it shuts, or of the shadows Rififi and Orangina cast against the window screen. She'll look Rif and Gina right in the eyes, and just keep purring in your lap.
Clementine's greatest joy, other than being held, is to play with these cheapo Hartz "Midnight Crazies" cat toys in her carrier. She doesn't really need any other cats to keep her occupied; she just makes up her own fun as she goes along. Dan took her from the front room and put her in our hallway and bathroom, just as a test to see how she feels about being in a non-enclosed space for a while. She was completely happy -- amazing when you think that just a short time ago, she could barely even be held, much less allowed out of her crate.
