Cat out of Quarantine

Mugsy got out of quarantine Monday. A courier dropped him off at around 11A. I signed for the delivery of 'one lovely cat' (really, that was on the form). After an hour of tiptoeing around our new place, he settled right in. His fur felt dusty and he seemed like he lost weight, but no worse for the wear.

We had a bugger of a time finding a proper litter pan for Mugsy. I bought a small shallow one at Carrefour, which was all I could find. Then we were at Parkson and happened across some decent-sized ones with covers. Perfect. Mugsy is a smart cat so I had no problem introducing a covered litter pan to him.

He has been quite happy and much more affectionate than usual. I assume it's because we are finally resuming a normal routine after a really topsy-turvy past month. Right now he is curled up in my lap, hoping for a nibble on my bun and a sip of my coffee.

On another note, I finally found the language settings for this blog. Since we get our internet through China Telecom, the default setting changed to Chinese. Because it was in Chinese, I accidentally deleted a section of the blog. Needless to say, I was extremely frustrated. My new mobile phone is a Chinese one and a kind woman at Eric's office configured it for me so that it reads in English. Heaven help me if the thing crashes because it'll reboot in Chinese.
