A Heart Does Mend

This little guy is doing his best to mend my heart after the sudden loss of Gabe.

This morning I walked into the cat room (i.e. the guest room, LOL) and found this in his bowl.

He added toys to his meal. This made me laugh and reminded me of my sweet Tuxedo Jake, who killed a slew of my stuffed animals each night at a great volume. I miss that. So this was a happy sight. I removed them, BTW and five minutes later, they were all back.

And I’ve never seen a kitteh who is so happy for a belly rub! Flops over for rubs all the time and we are happy to oblige.

Sully, you are good for the soul.

Sully Setting In

Sully has been here a month and has settled right in. He’s still finding his way with all the animals, but he knows he’s home.

Zander misses Gabe terribly, they were best buds, but he’s been kind to the new guy. I suspect they will be friends because Sully is both respectful and playful, two things Zander cannot resist.

Look at that profile. It is nice to have a house panther again.

He spends his nights getting into trouble – he’s learned how to open the kitchen trash drawer – how I’m not sure! He knocks down the cabinet facing every night. Since I’ve been meaning to secure it since I bought the house, I suppose now would be a good time. And sits in the windows and gazes out on his midnight landscape.

He now realizes that Emma and Zander have outside privileges and while he’s curious about it, he hasn’t attempted to bolt out the patio door or anything. He’s got a long way to go before he gets the same. He’ll have to come when called and understand he cannot jump the fence. I suspect come Nov-Dec we’ll spend some cold mornings on the patio with coffee and supervise him to get him started on the rules.

Speaking of the queen:

Here is Emma, annoyed that the paparazzi is snapping away.
