Random Fridays


We mentioned on Monday that mom was gone last weekend. She took 4 days and spent some time with some friends out west. They had a wonderful time together - sightseeing, shopping, eating and talking.

Rumor has it she may have kissed this cat....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Goldfish has been loose in the house now since Monday. She is doing very well with Chanel. Ivy ignores her and Daiquiri hisses at her - so about normal around here. Mom does think that Daiquiri may be enjoying Chanel getting run over by Goldfish however....something about karma.

Wednesday afternoon something very interesting happened. Mom wasn't feeling good so she stayed home from work. She had noticed a few times that Goldfish seems to like to nap in the chair that mom uses when she is home. Well....mom was sitting there with a blanket on her lap (it is chilly here) and the next thing she knew, Goldfish jumped up and sat on her lap. Mom didn't even breathe. And then....Goldfish curled up and snoozed. Mom did pet her a few times...very slowly. No idea how long it would have lasted, but a truck in the parking lot made a big noise and Goldfish got startled and took off for a safe space.

And unless you think she is "cured" - mom accidentally cornered her in the kitchen later that day and Goldfish bounced off the cabinets and ran out of the room like she was on fire. Oh well....mom is willing to take whatever progress she can get from that kitten.

  1. I have some at a similar stage. This morning when I woke up one was in the cat tree. I carefully walked over and petted him. He accepted it like it was no big deal. Later, yeah, mad scramble to get away from me.

  2. Oh I know just how you feel. It all takes so much time but it is worth it in the long run. Good luck to you and it sounds like you are making a little progress.

  3. Awww how sweet of Goldfish to climb onto your lap for a nap. I think you should take all the time off work and have lots of lovely lap time. :)
