We've either got a big rat in the villa or a sneaky kitten. "It" is still nameless since
Karen's post about her male dog named Tara has made me a little paranoid on the kitten's sex. So for the sake of this post, we'll just call it
"Pat". Pat has been a great kitten thus far. It was very wary of us at first and didn't socialize and hang out with us unless forced. Pat has really come around and knows its place, curled up at our sides. This cat is a far cry from the psychotic Sykes of yore. I sort of miss
the mischievous craziness that he exhibited, but life's a lot more relaxing without it. It seems that Pat has the same hankering for bread that
Sykes had. Sykes preferred his straight from the toaster when it popped up, but this one wants it fresh from the plastic bag. Two nights in a row I went in the kitchen to find bread crumbs strewn on the cabinet. I thought it was just a fluke the first night, since its food bowl only had a few crumbs in it. But the second night
confirmed that I'm not going to be able leave my bread on the counter. Where's that bread box that David bought me for our first Christmas...the one that I made him take back to the store. Seriously, what
was he thinking?
Oh, I bet my new bride would die for this. Ok, it's a few years late, but I'm coming around, dear. Bring it on.

This was a front page article in The Qatar Tribune last weekend, October 31st, to be exact. It seems to be more of a wish list than news. To be fair, the possibility of rain in the country is news, I guess. In the event that even the slightest of drops fall, you can bet your boots that twitter and facebook will be abuzz with locals breaking the news (yours truly, included). Now, the term "lash" seems a bit harsh to me, especially since the skies never appeared to even think about unloading on us. I didn't even know there was a possibility until I finally picked up my Tribune and scanned it a few days later. I really love the part where the meteorology department declares that we have already entered autumn. Rocket scientists, I tell you. Even more enlightening is the fact that they forecast that temps will drop in the coming days. Amazing. Hah, take that global warming! In the meantime, I'll just sit tight and wait on those "smart" showers. Tootles.
