As good as 3.14 other cats
Today, March 14th or 3/14, is Pi Day for people who celebrate the wonderful constant that specifies the relationship between the circumference and the diameter of a perfect circle. But on Mud Bay, at least at my house, I’m honoring the Mud Cat (see photo) instead. His real name is also Pi.
Pi, the number, has an infinite number of digits without any repeating pattern. The most significant ones are 3.14, although a few million more have been calculated. Pi, the cat, cannot be reduced to a number, but he does provide an infinite amount of playfulness, companionship, and trouble in a pattern that tends to repeat itself.
So what did Pi do on his special day? He went out before dawn, got wet in the early morning rain, returned for breakfast, napped in the late morning, “helped” me clean the garage, and went on a second, longer patrol in the afternoon. Pretty much the usual. He’s in for the night now. Tomorrow will be another Pi Day too.
