Luna and Holly

Luna has a new friend, sort of. She and Holly on s/v Spirit are curious about one another, but have yet to form a firm friendship. They stare at each other from a distance Holly deems acceptable which means she stays on her yacht while Luna reluctantly hangs out on the dock. Holly gets up from her lounging position whenever Luna comes around, approaching the life lines on the edge of the boat with a tiny "meow" greeting. If Luna gets in her "Let's play!" pose, Holly backs off with a less tiny hiss. I predict they'll become friends but not before Holly strikes out at Luna for good measure. Holly wanders the docks when all is dark and quiet. We figure she's been to visit Skylark in the wee hours but can't prove it because we're down below with the companionway door closed. She's welcome anytime, but it's slow going between the two "wanna be" friends. Holly has a feline sister on board, Annie. Annie is fat, lazy and uninterested in Luna. I'm sorry, but it's true. She's really fat and really lazy. If she's smart, I wouldn't know. She might be runner up for the Best Cat in the World Pageant but she sleeps all the time so no one would be aware if she's in the running. I can almost guarantee she is isn't stalking the docks after hours.
