QUOTE OF THE NOW

"Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That's why it's good to be able to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower. 'Lead us not into temptation.'" Joseph Campbell

Oliver Kitteh - Chapter Nine: In which our hero learns to hunt.


As told by Ms Brownlow (italic narration by Mabel).



Click here for chapters one, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight.


And so the days passed, each one presenting Oliver with exciting new challenges to overcome...


This was a great purchase.



I got it because he'd been missing those reflexes in his front legs.
I wanted to get him to try to reach things and have to focus his
movements to get as much control as possible.  I was guessing that if
he had to make very deliberate movements it might help work whatever
was deficient.  I was guessing, but I thought just working on walking
wouldn't cover everything he was needing to work and I wanted him to
make very focused motions with his paws.

This toy worked really well.  He was quickly interested in getting
things out through the holes.  And he could climb/pull himself across
the top, and he could sort of stand on his back legs if he wanted to
do that.  He played with it a lot.

Chloe liked it too and she still plays with it.  It took her a long
time to get toys, but once she did, she really liked them.

And this is just to remind you...


what a beautiful little boy kitty he was during all this.

Bernie kitty (mine) has started demanding attention as soon as I get home from work. He's apparently determined to make up for lost time. We generally have a session of me petting him and speaking words of adoration as soon as I open my car door.
Oliver seems to have quite the personality.

@ dad - That's Oliver, lookin' gooood.

@ JJJ - Isn't that the best? Why do people think dogs are more affectionate than cats? They're just not paying attention.

Whenever my husband comes home Haley yells at him til he picks her up.
