Aerial the mixer

Yesterday afternoon, while utilizing the last rays of sun this season can possibly offer to the noble purpose of sweeping the dirt off the sidewalk, I noticed a lady with two small dogs approaching. I immediately stopped sweeping to enjoy this rather rare sight and she too came to a halt, perhaps because I was blocking her passage. Be that as it may, we soon developed a nice little rapport despite being complete strangers to one another. While I was holding on to my broom she was keeping her hands busy with the leashes of two buzz cut and checkers colored lap dogs. Before long it emerged, we have indeed mutual friends; none other than our own special Aerial happens to be a frequent guest at the lady's home, not more than a few houses down the road. What is more, Aerial seems to get along surprisingly well with the two dogs. Naturally one is led to speculate as to why, if so, he has so many social issues with his fellow felines back home.

According to one far fetched theory, Aerial enjoys mixing the races and the genders and the species. Partly for fun and partly to enrage the clerics and the high priests of purity.

Another theory purports that Aerial has made a diabolic deal with the enemies of his enemies. But such a lovely cat would never ever do that. No f..... way

A third theory maintains that Aerial is suffering from some cat version of Capgras Syndrome that is turning life among his feline friends into a tormenting experience. And as a corollary, makes life among a different species soothingly cozy.

Lastly, it could be argued that Aerial is the eternal meanderer or a Wandering Willie, bored with the familiar and excited by discovering new territories and long lost branches of the family tree. At least in evolutionary terms...

Let us all applaud him!
