Braver and Braver

 Spyro:  Mom is being just a little bit mean with her picture taking today.  She was gone most of the day and was hours late  in giving us our fresh water and dry food.  So, of course we were hungry.  We get the same boring dry food everyday, but Julius got a brand new bag of something we never had before, so we are checking it out.  It smells delicious.

Rocio:  Nom, nom, nom.
 Horus:  I want to try the new food, too, but the new scratcher has fresh catnip on it, so I'm torn.

Rocio:  Nom, nom, nom.
 Horus:  This catnip smells wonderful.

Bambio:  I wanna get some nip, too.
 Oja:  Silly mancats.  All the really good food is in the kitchen and it's mine. Hahaha!
Julius:  Where is everycat?  I'm in the living room all alone.  I am getting braver about the Lady. I let her get a little closer to me to take my picture.  Last night she was giving out treats and I actually sniffed her fingers.  You know what happened next?  She petted me and I liked it.  Spyro scratched for treats before breakfast and I let her pet me again.  This afternoon I wouldn't let her pet me, but I walked up and sniffed her shoe.  I ran when she reached down for me, though.  No way am I letting her pick me up.  I'm not sure those mancats know what they are talking about when they tell me Oja is harmless.  I walked toward her down the hall this morning and she not only hissed at me, she charged me.  I ran like the wind and she couldn't catch me.

Bambino:  She didn't hurt you or even try to smack you, did she?

Julius:  No, she just charged.  That was scary enough.

Bambino:  I still say she won't hurt you.  She's all noise and bluff.

Julius:  We'll see.  Thanks for playing with me in this net thing.  That was fun.

Bambino:  That's a playpen.  My foster Mom kept me in one when I was littler than you.  I like rasslin', too.

Julius:  No one can keep me in it.  I can jump in and out all by myself.

We are glad to hear you are letting your human pet you a little more! We know Karen Jo is a very sweet human, so give hers a chance and we know you won't be sorry :)

Julius, humans are okay, once you learn how to train them. It sounds like you have a good start with this one.

I am allowed to pet all my cats except Kim. She runs away !
It's quite a long time I haven't been here and I see that your cat family has grown ! When I think that you started with Herman only !

You should try some really good canned food. Once youve been "canned", you'll never go back.

Julius you will soon get to love your lady and let her pet you. We hope you will soon let her give you a cuddle - you'll find you'll like it.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
