teachable moments


desperately in need of a caption

It's kind of amazing how the presence of a third being in the house has changed things. The little bug has very quickly incorporated himself into our lives chez Rosemount.

Things we have learned recently:
  • Orange cats are not automatically killed if they remain in the bathroom when the shower is running.
  • Little gray cats do not learn that when they fall into the shower when it is running that it will be too slippery to get back out themselves.
  • Max has a special meow that means "We are trapped in the bathroom because the door has closed".
  • The best cat food is Max's food - being especially delicious if you can eat it out from under Max's nose.
  • The best way to get a look at something high is to launch yourself at my leg and climb up - which is fine when I'm wearing jeans and not so fine when I'm wearing pajamas.
  • The best place to sleep is with your head murfed up against Max's tummy. Actually, if you can sleep with at least some part of yourself on top of Max - that is pretty good too.
I sure there's more... It's kind of nuts - the little bug is about twice as big as he was when he first arrived. It's noticeable when he's able to jump up on things that he couldn't before or when he tries to squish himself under the couch and he's getting just a little too big to do it. Ah, the passage of time.
