I have to interrupt the trip tour with news. We invited a new individual into our family this week. His name is Teemo and he is 9 months old. :) He's very adorable. He's very timid, and has spent most of his time hiding, but he is getting used to me, and has even come in the same room as me. He was a ferral cat, rescued at about 6 weeks I believe. He was in a foster home for a few months, where he got a bit of socializing, but due to an illness, he didn't get as much as he needed. He then went to PAWS where he's been for 5 months. Poor guy. He's been making leaps and bounds there, they say. Anyway, we brought him home with us on Saturday. He spent all of that day hidden inside his litterbox. But once we were watching a movie we heard him exploring a little bit (his bell on his collar). Then we saw little ears peek up over the stairs. But he quickly scampered away when we looked. Yesterday he got a little bit closer, but if we moved he bolted. Today he actually came into the bedroom while I was there and sat about 3 feet away. He was very tense. But he's getting used to me. :) I"m very excited. Soon I hope he is brave enough to come right up to us, and let us cuddle with him. He'll let me pet him when he's hiding..... but is very tense. As soon as we're in bed at night though he really roams around. It's really cute. Last night he actually spent most of the night just outside our bedroom door (which was open a crack). :) It's nice to hear his bell, since the first day he barely moved. We're still waiting for him to use the litter box (I've heard his digging in it.... but there haven't been any gifts left behind), and to eat... he hasn't eaten that much since he's been here. We do know he has found his dish and he's had a little bit here and there. He's making such progress though, so we're excited that he'll make good progress with us! Meet TEEMO!
