Oh oh---here comes Vernon! He has a special route that he uses to get up on my desk. All the while he's climbing up, I hold my breathe. He does NOT like for me to help him! He's a do-it-yourselfer! But he sure loves to be loved on! After he makes his way up, then he plops himself on the cushie that's on the desk and takes a nap. Mission accomplished!
We took in a new kitten two days ago. She was only 8 ounces when she arrived, gained an ounce yesterday! She's a grey tiger with a very light torti mark. Her name is Little Bit--a Name a Cat name. She's oh so little, but is eating by herself which is incredible. We have her down as about 3 1/2 weeks. She arrived loaded with fleas, a 3/4 rating. I'm sure she felt so much better without those itchy things. Her appetite is great.
