I love Covid! Never thought I'd say that, but I love Covid the Cat!
We had a stray at our door, one bitter winter, but I was unable to bribe him with food to lure him to shelter in our house. Very feral. Looked a lot like your tuxedo cat. I called ours James Bond. Bobi the Bad may have made it clear no other feline gets to set foot in his domain.

Thought of you today when reading @yahia-lababidi's post @yahia-lababidi/a-conversation-with-kafka-a

I have been thinking, too, of fairy tales. The idea of Alice and the rabbit hole and its connection with physics. I don’t know much about physics. I’m just another artist-groupie, but I am captivated by the idea of a wormhole. A hypothetical tunnel connecting disparate points in light-space, with the attendant, hypothetical, possibility of time travel. None of this is encouraged by hard science, but neither is it entirely refuted. Disputed, more-like. This idea of a shortcut between worlds, which, for me, translates as a shortcut into creative space, where inspiration is able to move with more agility and vision to engage with more dexterity.

Also, you've reminded me of Guy T. Martland's time-traveling cat. If you ever find the time, the stories are short, and The Cat is based on the real-life Gordon, who died last year of old age, and in the series, we see this aging cat slow down and not leap so high anymore.... what's really sad, though, is how small the audience for this excellent sci-fi feline saga.
