As you know, I bought a papasan chair (a bowl-shaped chair with a bamboo frame and big comfy round cushion designed to put one to sleep quickly) last week. Little did I know that the chair came with a serious infestation.

Specifically, it came with a resident wily orange tabby tail with a white tip. Yogi has been fighting the tail earnestly, but it keeps darting away from him, all around the edges of the bowl. The tail is smart enough to stay just out of reach as Yogi spins around. As I write this, the tail has chased him out of the chair twice.

I sure hope Yogi will have the problem taken care of shortly. I don't have time to return the chair, and I'm not sure it's safe to sit there until the tail has been subdued.
