Happy Halloween everyone!

I was wearing my cat mask, with a white shirt, black cardigan, black pants and white tennis shoes. I was going to pin white smoke rings to my back/ side and go as Zanzibar, but I didn't have time to cut out/ pin smoke rings this morning. I've also had to take off the mask because the pressure on my sinuses was starting to hurt. Sigh.

Zanzi stared at me and reached his paw up to touch my mask when I greeted him in it. He kinda pulled his paw back, sniffed at the leather, then reached up again. This time I had his paw touch part of my face that wasn't covered in leather, so it felt more familiar. He didn't quite know what to make of it.

Marzi, well, it just scared the hell out of Marzi, but what doesn't?

Still feeling icky. We're getting pizza at work today, and I'm trying to decide if I should ask that they order something gentler for me or if I should just eat a piece and then go get soup or something. I'm leaning towards the latter, just 'cause I can't find anything very mild on the menu anyway.

We were going to go to the Castro tonight, Tim and I, but I'm not really feeling up to it, so we'll probably just stay at home. Not sure if we'll have candy for trick-or-treaters or if we'll turn out the lights and ignore them. I'd like to see kids in their costumes, but Zanzi has recently expressed more than a passing interest in the door to the outside, and I'd hate to lose him on Halloween, you know? He used to greet us at the top of the stairs, but now he comes all the way down to the front door; cat footing him still works, but it won't forever.

My kids are growing up so fast! They're getting snipped in a week, which is just in the nick of time. Zanzi has decided that Marzi is close enough to female (we do call Marzi "she" all the time) for mounting. He bites her neck and climbs on. I have no problem with homosexual activity in my cats, don't get me wrong, but I'm not convinced Marzi is consenting here. Also, I thought that it was the males responding to females in heat that caused them to want to mount, not just isolated male puberty. But I could be wrong about this.

So, I suppose I should play a horny male cat today, huh?

Speaking of, Heathen has her hair slicked back and a false ponytail hanging from the back of her head and she looks entirely different. It's so strange. There's nothing else different about her, yet I didn't recognize her when I came in this morning and I keep doing double takes when I look at her. Funny that a little thing like a long ponytail would make such a big difference, but it does.

Anyway, y'all should post what you're wearing for Halloween in the comments of this entry. I really want to know! You can post about other stuff, too, of course, but I think costumes are the best part of Halloween.

Trick or Treat!
