David,
Thanks for reading and responding, even though it isn’t about Wiley! Yes, LA has some wild pockets throughout the city; my house for 30 years was at a dead end in a narrow glen with high foothills on three sides, so I had a great view of nature naturing—with UCLA a five-minute drive away. I wanted to call his dignity “undomesticated,” unlike the cat, but couldn’t make it work metrically.
Joe,
Glad there was some news for you about cats and catnip (about half of all cats seem to become junkies, others unaffected a robot told me). Thanks for noting Coyote’s dignity which was much greater in fact as I shouted and tossed windfall plumbs at him from the nearby tree that Clue had sense enough to climb.
Cheers,
