Some of you have met my kitty Ozzy. We adopted him in February from the SPCA. He was about 2 months old and weighed about a pound. He was brought in 2 days before and was separated from his mother just hours before I met him. We lost our 15 year old cat, Joy a month earlier and missed having a "cat child" in the house. Joy was very reserved and sweet. Most visitors rarely saw her. From the beginning Ozzy has been full of energy and very social. He enjoys following Riley and "attacks his feet as he crawls. I often find him climbing the side of the porta-crib after I have settled Riley in for a nap. Riley squeals and laughs and pokes at the netting encouraging Ozzy to jump at him! Three times Ozzy has landed in the bathtub when Riley is in there. It startles both of them and there is much howling and scrambling to escape. And LOTS of splashing. Ozzy's most recent trick is leaping onto John's shoulder when he opens and closes the living room curtains. He frequently dashes across a room and leaps at John. I find it hilarious -John ---- not so much! Last night he was hanging from a curtain rod in our bedroom attempting to get a bug. He managed to land on the windowsill rather gracefully instead of crashing to the floor. He is becoming quite vocal and lets me know when he needs his food or water dish filled. He eats well but mostly plays with his water. When he is not attacking things and racing around the house he is very sweet and cuddly. He has learned not to play with my knitting or spinning or he is put out of the room. I had him at the shop on a recent Monday as we put things back after Sheep & Wool, and he raced up and down and onto every surface. When he wasn't attacking feet, he enjoyed sitting in the front window and watching all the action in the parking lot!
