(By Katie) The animal folks know our names and once again we have volunteered to be a refuge for a cat. His name is Louie though the lady at the vets office where I got him called him Luigi. I ran over this afternoon while Scott was working on the college and picked him up. He is a very vocal cat who cried just like a baby the entire car ride home. When we got to the house, Ginger was somewhat interested but then was more concerned that this thing was coming to replace her. Gypsy on the other hand was not happy and, after a short bout of just sniffing him through the carrier walls, fluffed up and hissed terribly at him. He had been quiet up until that point but decided to let the girls hear his voice. That definitely freaked out Gypsy who went on a rampage. They got very upset when I carried him into one of their forbidden rooms (the downstairs guest room). It was like they were saying "HEY! You bring some stranger into the house and HE gets to stay in the forbidden room!" When I came back out, Gypsy was still all fluffed up but Ginger was very, very lovable. I think that she was worried we were going to get rid of her. Unlike Gypsy who was just upset at this new boy, Ginger was thinking of the possible long term consequences of this boy coming to stay with us. I left Louis in the guest room exploring, Gypsy with her nose to the crack under the door, and Ginger sitting in the middle of the floor looking very worried. We will post pictures later and update you on how the girls are taking to him.
The storm track keeps changing every few hours. For most of the day it was headed right for us. Now it is tracking north of us and will pass between the three Cayman Islands. By tomorrow morning it will no doubt have moved again. Once we finish up here tonight all we have left to do is get the car tomorrow morning to high ground and then sit through it. They will cut the power as the storm approaches and the water so our updates tomorrow will be sporadic.
