Night shift above the rooftops
Moon Fence Cat
One fence. One moon. No missed patrols.
Nightly Rounds
At dusk, Moon Fence Cat clocks in where the last garden post meets the sky. The route covers seven roofs, one leaning chimney, and every rail warmed by sunset. The moon handles visibility. The scarf handles wind direction. If a post creaks, the cat sits on it until the problem becomes somebody else’s morning. No report is filed unless the gate opens twice without permission.
Fence Practice
Post Balance
Four paws settle on the narrowest post before one loose nail starts complaining.
Moon Check
Every circuit pauses at the eastern rail until the bright side clears all seven roofs.
Scarf Bearing
The tail follows instinct; the scarf reports crosswind, chimney smoke, and approaching laundry.
Three habits hold the whole shift.
Keep the moon above the fence.
