Anyone seeing this cat, please return it to its owner and lock it in...

In late-breaking news, we have a suspect for the Polterfunk! This glorious specimen of mangled-eared felinity was in the yard just now, watching Weasel through the (closed) window from a distance of not even a yard, and bold enough that it just sat there while I ran to get the camera. It only left when I opened the window to yell at it; hopefully, that'll have given it a good enough fright that it won't come around again, but I'm still planting lavender around the windows when it gets warm enough. (I've started some from seed, and there's been some Sprouting Action going on these last couple of days, yay!)

...Err, spoke too soon on the "scared it off" front, as it's just come round to this window and scared the crap out of Snip (who then ran off to murder Weasel for reasons known only to her.) Off to pick up the pieces, literally in the case of the decorative glass that Snip knocked off the windowsill in her pursuit of the stranger...
