He's obviously savvy enough to survive on his own.
I was gonna say, I expect a cat is better at finding a bit of shade than you are.

I just cleaned out my work Inbox and various sent folders and such. I blame you all.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I am so tired that if you injected caffeine directly into my brain, it wouldn't help.
(And now I'm waiting for a sciencey type to come along and explain why it wouldn't help, anyway, to which I say IT WAS EXAGGERATION FOR EFFECT TO DEMONSTRATE HOW TIRED I AM.)

You're not being an idiot, Allyson! It's normal to worry, but if he's been feral for a while (or forever) he's going to be grateful for the food, and probably pretty good at surviving otherwise.

I will never be an inbox 0 person, but I am getting better about deleting stuff.

I won't say how many emails are in my inbox...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Cleaning out the inbox is part of why I hate gmail for work -- it's annoying to delete individual messages out of a "conversation," even when half of them are off-topic/unnecessary. And then when I file something, it pops back into the inbox if someone replies to it, ever. Bleh.
Edit: I mean, I like cleaning out my inbox via deleting the unneeded messages and filing the ones that are a record of something.

Allyson, I've seen lots of instructions on the interwebs for making cat shelters out of plastic bins, but most of them are meant for cold weather climates.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I almost never delete anything out of my inbox or file anything into folders. I used to, but I got out of the habit somewhere along the line, and it doesn't seem to make any difference, as I can search the whole thing easily anyway. If I ever went a significant length of time without checking e-mail, I suppose my disorganized ways might bite me on the ass.
Eta: I currently have 14889 messages in my Inbox. 8972 unread (which means I looked at the subject and decided I didn't need to read it but I didn't need to delete it, either)

True, although the flip side can be just as bad. My psycho co-editor refuses to include previous email(s) in her replies (including what she is directly responding to) so then I have to keep multiple emails (not mention sometimes have no idea what she is talking about.
