Felis catus? My bad; I should have looked it up.

Meanwhile, back in the suburbs, my house panthers are shifting gradually into their cool-weather activity pattern. Well, not exactly "activity" pattern; it's really about where they choose to snooze -- i.e., on the bed and in the comfy chair instead of on the hardwood floor. When winter sets in, they will move back to the floor, in a cat-basket set on top of a heat vent. They tangle themselves together so snugly it's hard to identify the point where one cat ends and the other begins.
