Inky

Inky the Fearless just freaks us out becuase he tends to take flying leaps onto our banister railing (about 3 feet tall), which is about one inch thick above our stairs- so about a 10-15 foot drop at one point from on top of the railing, to the bottom floor below. We run and grab him, but not always possible to do so immediately -- he's been fine so far, but I hate his acrobatics. I hope he gets the idea to stop doing it though. He'll also jump from the counter onto the open fridge door top (another narrow thing to balance on) -- so flies a few feet through the air onto the thin doortop. He's real good at the acrobatics (half siamese, 6 months old), but I swear it's going to give me a heart attack. He never thinks, he just *does* and usually with a "MRAAAAA". Wait, wait, back up a bit. Who's Inky, and why have I never heard of him before?? |

Hey Tak!
I haven't posted for months so that's probably why he's new! Inky is the same kitten as Mr Jinks (who went to "Jinkydink" and now "Inky", well - he's called all three but Inky is definitely the most common nickname for brevity reasons I assume). He's an orange marmalade / Siamese who adopted us last June or July (I forget now, life has been a blur of gross long hours). It was one of those situations where you just see the kitty and go "yep, he just has to come home with us" -- really a spontaneous decision, but he's fit in real well and was just what Mugglesworth was hoping and dreaming for. Muggles was SO scared of him at first, but within a few days they were playing, eating, sleeping together and have been permanently side-by-side for months now. Muggles and Kid weren't getting along for quite awhile, so Muggles was pretty bored and distraught she decided not to be his friend anymore... so it's worked out pretty well (although Kid still doesn't befriend any cats, Kid's pretty happy being on her own (read: spoiled rotten) or closely watched if out with the other cats). Not sure if it was the right decision, but it's working ok. He's really grown, and is a real funny guy. Next month he'll go in for the big de-man-ing operation, too. Perhaps knocking off the luvbits will calm down the wild a bit!! How's Betty?

Perhaps knocking off the luvbits will calm down the wild a bit!! How's Betty? Ohhhh, so Inky = Mr Jinks! It's hard to imagine Muggles being afraid of something so tiny! I guess that some cats are more people oriented, and some are more cat oriented. I guess Kid is in the former category, but it's good to hear that Muggles is happy, and hopefully over his intestinal problems, too? Betty's still being Betty. She begs for me to play with the cat dancer all the time now. Running all around the room with that thing makes me dizzy after a while, especially when we go around and around a chair or other piece of furniture. |
