Summer is taking care of Mother’s cat, Tiffany. Der Bingle says they are absorbing each other’s personality. Of course, he also says he doesn’t know if there was much difference between them from the get-go. “Get-go” looks so odd in print, kind of like it should be a small creature peddling insurance – but that’s how the spell checker is telling me to spell it, so the heck with it.

Summer and Tiffany seem to be of the same mind: they consider each other “staff” ; Tiffany thinks of Summer as  Her Girl Friday and Summer considers Tiffany Her Cat Friday. Summer was astounded when Tiffany woke her up to “play” unsteady of waiting patiently at Sleeping Beauty’s feet. We are steering clear of them as this hierarchy is worked out.
