I really think Gabe is just out of sorts right now and hasn't really claimed ownership quite yet. The other factor that comes in to play, that we will never know the answer to is, the behavior influence or patterning after the other two cats. He may be more comfortable around people now that he has "protection" in furry numbers. Gabe doesn't seem to hang out with the other two cats as much as he was and seems to be hanging out with me a bit more. Time will tell. Maybe the combinations have made him be more creative in his survival skill category. "Well, I had better be on my best behavior at this place, or she'll send me packing".... We will never know.

I do love Gabe at this point and WON'T give him back. Isn't it funny how quickly we learn to love our fur babies. I would be the same with a child, I think.... Well, Gabe won't be going to college. I will stick with cats.

Have a good weekend everyone! Give your pets a hug from me....I just love them all so..... I love humans too!
