Maple is still doing really well. She is roaming the whole house now and has taken some exploratory quick walks onto my lap on the couch. She is very affectionate and loves playing with the Cat Dancer. She still gets nervous and runs if I move quickly or approach her in the middle of the room, but she recovers right away and improves every day. I think she is very happy here.
Chesney aka “Will” is a wild man, he certainly has all the characteristic of a Bengal. He’s doing fantastic and becoming a big boy! He’s also doing amazing with our daughter minus trying to steal her pacifiers all the time! He’s even grown to like the dog and they chase each other around. He’s so entertaining to watch! And very mischievous.
Zora has been amazing ever since we got home, she has been looking around and getting used to her surroundings but she has let all of use pet her. She seems to not be bothered by the 5 year olds and he’s craziness. We all love her.
We adopted Rusty and Snowball, children have renamed them Loki and Paddington respectfully. Loki is the darker red head, as he is named for the redheaded Norse god of mischief. Paddington Bear loves marmalade so they thought that was a good name for a marmalade cat. |
Huck has managed to almost do in a toy mouse he brought with him when he came, as well as two wand toys. He is delightful. He waits until (almost) 6:00a.m. when the alarm goes off, then wakes us by sitting on our chests, purring loudly. I get "Eskimo kisses". Then he moves to his "dad's" chest and bites his nose very gently. Dad also get toe kisses before he puts his slippers on. As I go about the house doing "stuff", he follows me like a puppy, usually purring. He's full of energy and is almost always ready for a game of mousey. He ends his day sitting on my lap, purring, in front of the television until he is too sleepy to stay awake, then he goes upstairs to wait for us. 
Maple is doing well. She started letting me pet her just a bit last night and now she is head butting me, arching her back for me to scratch her body length, and even rolling over for belly rubs, purring the whole time. She just started walking around the room in my presence a few minutes ago and is spending time near the door, curious about the rest of the house.She has made very significant progress in just a couple of days. I think soon enough she will be ruling the roost.
We adopted a 4 month old kitten from POA at the end of August this year. Since you've seen her last, Mavis (previously known as Jewels), is now spending her days cuddling on her favorite fuzzy blanket, attentively watching birds outside from her favorite window-sill perch, and being spoiled by her grandma with fun new toys! She has grown from the tiny 4 lb kitten we brought home as into a healthy and strong adult. Mavis loves to play almost as much as she loves to nap, and she is fascinated by any kind of running water (she can't quite seem to figure out where it goes when it runs down the drain, and we sometimes catch her just staring into the bathroom sink). Above all else, she is very loved and we, her new parents, are lucky to have her. Mavis is the sweetest, most well-behaved, charming, and loving cat I have ever known. We would like to thank you all at POA and the foster parents for the amazing work you do.
