Ok, all of the Magoo lovers are wondering about the little guy. I posted in my last thread that I missed the vet by about ten minutes. Magoo is still doing fine and the bump/knot hasn't changed at all. I'm watching him closely for any changes. I will be back at the shelter tonight and I will find out when the doc is due back in so she can take a look at him. I promise to let everyone know as soon as I do.
We do have some news that I haven't shared yet. I was afraid to jinx it but I will let the Magooster tell you about his weekend. That way if it gets jinxed it will be his fault!
Ok Magoo, you're on!
Hi everybody! Mom says you all know who I am so I will just tell you about my weekend.
Well, I've had to work pretty hard to get some trust in this place but mom finally decided to let me out of the cage with the kitties. The first thing she did was let Leroy into the room. I sniffed and Leroy sniffed and we went our seperate ways. Before mom knew what was happening dad opened the door and let everyone in! I really didn't care and most of them didn't mind me either.
Well, there was the one occasion where I nipped Pepper Jacks tail and he jumped about four feet off of the ground! Dad yelled NO and made me go back to my cage for a time out. I could hear mom laughing though because she couldn't help it when Pepper Jack went straight up and got all fluffed out. She tells me that She still laughs when she thinks about it.
I was forgiven and released again. Dad let me check out the kitchen too. That was neat! So, I got a new room to explore and I got to meet most of the kitties without bars between us. I thought things went really good!
Well, there was that second incident with Pepper Jack. I really was trying to be good I swear! I was walking along minding my own business when I accidently came upon Pepper laying in the floor. We sniffed noses but he didn't move. I sniffed his face and he didn't move. I sniffed his neck and he still didn't move so I decided what the heck and tried to take a chunk of Pepper Jack! I don't know what happened but I felt something swat my tail end and it scared me to death!!! I kept my teeth to myself after that.
I got to stay out a whole five hours yesterday!!! It was great!! Mom says since I was such a good boy that she is going to open the cage door as soon as she gets home and I can stay out until she goes to bed!!! Or until I do something bad. I'm planning on being a really good boy so I can nap in moms chair with her or under the computer desk which is my favorite spot. Of course , I will nap after I explore the new kitchen space and say hi to the other kitties.
It was nice to get to talk to you all and I'm sure mom will let you know if I get into any more trouble!

Hey guys, it's me again. I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself! What a wonderful breakthrough! The two bites he did make were not done aggressive. They were more like nips but they might have gotten worse had we let it continue.
The surprise he got when he bit Pepper Jack was his dad standing behind him with a towel. He swatted Magoo with the towel and it scared him. We decided to that instead of making him scared of us. This way he will just think something bad happens everytime he bites.
Keep your fingers, toes, and everything else crossed that this continues! I see light at the end of a long tunnel!!
