There are beavers in the bathroom
swimming circles in the tub
where the beavers have decided
to convene their swimming club.
In their little beaver Speedos
and their beaver bathing caps,
they’ve been splashing rather happily
while practicing their laps.
They’ve been studying the butterfly,
the backstroke and the crawl,
and it’s obvious they like it
and they’re having quite a ball.
For we hear them all the time
but we don’t see them anymore,
ever since they built a beaver dam
behind the bathroom door.

Katniss threw up last night and barely ate breakfast this morning, so we took her to the vet when they opened at 11. The good news is that they didn't find anything wrong with her apart from a bit of dehydration from vomiting, for which they gave her IV fluids and anti-nausea medication, and she has been better since we got home though still not eating a lot. The bad news is that they aren't sure what caused this, so hopefully she won't need an x-ray since the other scans didn't indicate a blockage.
Otherwise I had a quiet day with the cats. I talked to my high school friends before the vet and watched a few episodes of What If...? with Kristen in the afternoon (obviously she needed to see Star-Lord T'Challa and Party Thor/Jotun Loki). Then we walked to the park -- today the eagles were by the nest -- and watched the Terps beat Rutgers in the first round of the Big 10 basketball tournament before dinner. Now we're watching Resident Alien's second season. Evidence of beaver activity at Carkeek Park:
