I feel bad when I yell at Remus lol. Sometimes I think I holler at him more and more lately but now that I'm thinking about it, I think his mischievous behavior is more of a sign of spring than anything else. Some days I think it gets to me more because of job stress but now that I realize it I think I wont yell as much lol. Most of the time a stern "Get DOWN!" gets him motivated. I really do love my boy, he actually got me into liking cats. Before I got Remus I wasn't much of a cat person...now I like them more than most people . I guess I was feeling kind of melancholy yesterday...and Remus being his normal Remus self hopped on lap and was happy to let me pet him for a while. Since I've been so busy it has been a while since I just sat back and gave him a few good scritches. Thats what I mean about taking him for granted. He is getting to be a loner in his old age and he doesn't beg for attention like he used to. Spook and Hoodini tend to take up more of the lap time.
Maybe I'm noticing he's not his younger self...but he is still my buddy.
