He's been here a month, and is settling in really well. He has several spots he likes to snooze, and has finally gotten over his weird fear of our bedroom. He sometimes sleeps on a pillow on the floor by my side of the bed. I don't think he sleeps though, just hangs out. He is really rowdy in the mornings, and at around 9 pm every night, all hell breaks loose. He runs like a maniac from one room to another, and plays with his toys and us. He's obsessed with my makeup brushes and I've found them all over the house. I started locking them up...same with lip gloss tubes...loves them.
He seems to have switched allegiances, and is currently giving Larry the cold furry shoulder. I think he'll come around though...he even seemed to a little last night, and curled up on Larry's legs when we were watching T.V. I suspect it may have something to do with the hunk of roast chicken he gave him, but hey, whatever works.
He is a very mannerly cat, and doesn't use his claws at all. He's only scratched me once, and that was because he got startled. He does better with gentle, quiet corrections, rather than yelling. He really seems to listen well, and if we tell him to stop scratching the carpet, or furniture, he usually stops, blinks at us, and goes over to his scratching post. He never begs for food (except that one tuna can incident), and waits patiently for a bite.
His latest kitty entertainment has been the black birds nesting in the tree outside our window. He spends hours watching them, growling, and making this weird, half meow, half gurgle noise in the back of his throat. And his tail! It goes a hundred miles an hour...very funny to watch. The birds totally mess with his too, and get right up on the ledge, puff up and peck at the windows....it's just driving him crazy!
He's a really funny guy, and we love having him here. More soon....
