Every day, starting about when Goober started fading, I've cleaned out the Finsterium every evening with the big door wide open. Of course, I kept the door wide open back before the new batch of Finsters arrived. But since about May 2005, Earl Grey and the New Kids have had the questionable privilege of having me leaning right into their space.

We've had an almost perfect track record, until yesterday, when Cinnamon got flutterpated and flew out into the living room and into Bob, the ficus tree. Much chasing back and forth ensued, Cinnamon favoring Bob, but ignoring the wide-open door of the Fisnterium. Finally, we gave him a rest, and let him calm down in the tree. After a few minutes, he tried again, and this time flew right back inside! You can click here to see a close up of Cinnamon back home. It would have been nice to catch him to trim his toenails, but at least he got home safe and sound.
