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 Ten : Being an account of Oliver's explorations and hidey holes

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


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

Without much ado, here's more of our pint sized hero!

Even before Oliver could properly stand he began to cover large distances.

Here he's made it into the next room and discovered a mirror leaning
against a closet door.



As you can see, he was getting quite good at holding his front up with
his front legs, and he was able to hold his head up more steadily and
for longer, but his hind legs remained splayed out to the sides and
his belly stayed very close to the ground.

Still he was getting better and better at getting around.

Somehow he figured out he could take the little blanket from the collapsible hut...


and bring it over to the other side of the
room, then place it between a couple of things I'd put together for
his play area.

He'd made himself a new sleeping space.

Here you can see he's resting his head on the base of his kitten tree.



See, he's putting a lot of thought into these things he's doing.  And
he's very adaptable. Cats generally are.

I love how he came up with his own idea of where he wanted his blanket. We so easily under estimate the degree of personality and awareness in our fellow critters.

I was wondering when we'd get some more of Oliver's adventures.
