Bacon Bacon

The most energy we have seen from Catman is in response to bacon.  That is the thing that gets him up and moving.  Although he did take notice when the door opened. I would expect him to get along well in a house that already has cats.  Even though he is a Tom and has yet to have that bit taken care of, he shows no interest at all in our 4 cats.  Our dog is another matter. 

He is still doing a bit of sneezing but seems to be mostly over his URI.  He'll be  heading back to CCHS on Monday.  I was supposed to take him back on Friday, but unfortunately my 1:00 appointment took far longer than I expected.

Molly (Trixie) Update

We recieved some nice news today that Molly (now known as Trixie) just graduated from her CCHS dog training classes.  They sent us along her graduation photo, and I thought some of you  might enjoy seeing it also.

Catman continues to do well.  We saw him at his most excited since arriving yesterday. Bacon is evidently a great favorite, because he actually opened his eyes wide, stood up, and came over to investigate.  This cat is not exactly a ball of fire.  Gorgeous, yes.  Affectionate, oh yes.  Energetic -- definitely not.  Anybody who is looking for a sleepy boy to curl up with in the evening, he is the cat for you.

Vacation is done, and Catman has come to visit

Well, my son and his wife have returned to Finland, and life has returned to its more familiar hectic pace.  So we have been able to make a spot available for Catman to hang out while he gets over a nasty cold (upper respiratory infection would be the technical term).

This has got to be one of the most relaxed cats -- EVER.  Takes his medication and never bats an eye.  We bring him out to visit for awhile, and he spends the entire time laying in the spot he is sat down -- purring if someone is nearby.  He loves to be rubbed under the chin and petted, but he is not pushy about it at all.

And he is huge.  15 lbs.
