Our Experiment

Our experiment did not last very long.....On Friday, we finally decided to leave our door open, and allow our new cat to run away. We hoped she would return periodically, especially if we left milk in a saucer for her to find at our doorstep. It looks less likely that will happen though. She has not returned as yet.

Here is our balance sheet on The Experiment.

On the one hand, let me assure you that it is not easy to toilet train a cat in a couple of rooms. Also, as part of what Prashanth called 'knowledge transfer' in his article on his blog, Anand proceeded to unlearn all his toilet training. As Mark Twain wrote in Tom Sawyer, let me now draw the curtain of charity over the scene!

On the other hand, the cat brought out so much from Anand. He seemed to be constantly laughing at every silly antic, so caught up in caring for this cat that he even wanted to sleep with it.
