He is adorable!

Did Nancy's job situation resolve itself? My husband asks me every
day...


Nope. She's *still* working as a contractor, *still* unsure from week to
week whether she'll have a job next week, and *still* waiting to hear
from the County about the job she applied for with them.

Thanks for asking, though!

Dan


I'm sorry that things have not resolved themselves yet. I'll tell
Oliver to Purr harder!

Sorry to hear that she's still waiting for some word. I get the girls
to renew their purrs. Also, Rocky, the newest member of the household,
has learned to purr now, and he'll be happy to add his purrs.


AWWWW, Rocky's PURRING. That is so kewl. Steve, you and the girls will
be the making of that boy yet.

6 weeks after his rescue from the parking lot at Stater Bros Markets
Samuel Redkitten has adjusted nicely to household life, and has become
quite a character. His latest photo is online at
http://www.webfolks.us/dan/photos/

He is now a pound heavier than his one-week-older adopted sister Tabitha
(Tabitha is 3 pounds, Samuel is 4). For the longest time our older girl
Cleopatra has been Nancy's pillow-cat. Now I have a pillow-cat - Samuel
loves to share a pillow with his humans.

Awwww, he's as cute as he is lucky! Please give him a big ole smooch
on top of the head for me. I'm glad to hear he's healthy and happy
and doing so well. :-)

What a beautiful boy he has become!

Yep, Rocky is really making progress. There was a time not long ago
when all I was was a food provider, but now he wants some petting
before he goes to eat. He's also beginning to be a fussy eater, where
he once would gorge himself on any food put in front of him. That
could be a by-product of de-worming. He wasn't exactly skinny before,
but now he eats a lot less and has gained weight.

He still dislikes being inside for any length of time, but the time
he'll tolerate before pacing in front of the door wanting out has
grown from about 10 minutes to over an hour. I think he has decided
this is a pretty safe area, as he seems to hang around the apartment
complex most of the day. My next door neighbor was amazed a couple
weeks ago when Rocky actually approached, gave him a headbut and
looked up asking for some ear scritches. He, the neighbor, comes out
to smoke and has been making overtures to Rocky for over a year, and
this was the first time Rocky allowed him to pet him.

I'm hoping that, over time, he'll stay in for longer and longer
periods, so that I can keep him inside when winter comes. He's pretty
streetwise and I know he has a couple warm places out of the weather,
but I'd like him inside.

Another project I have going is to try to teach him to play, as it
seems he never learned how. Most of the toys scare him. The only thing
he enjoys is the old standard feather on a string. Last night Sammy
rediscovered her turbo-scracther when she started batting the ball
around Rocky ran to the door and wanted out.

So glad to hear Rocky is doing fine,
