It's A Good Feeling . . .

[AvaJoy]

I will finish the roll in my camera this weekend, so pix of Schuyler will be forthcoming!

He has an absolutely dreamboat personality, and nothing seems to faze him . . . not even Lily's cranky attitude. I refer to him as my "Swell Guy Schuy" because he obviously is used to being around other cats, and couldn't care less about their reservations or hostility. One night early on I slept on the hard tile bathroom floor with him because I sensed that he did not want to be left alone, and now that he is feeling better he comes into the bedroom and sleeps on my pillow every night! He just adores being petted and loved. So far, he is perfect!

Debra is still unsure what to make of him, and she runs away to hide when he comes near, but at least now she is feeling a bit more herself and wanting to play . . . for awhile she was quite on edge and not at all herself, and I was feeling badly that I had brought this disruption into her little cowgirl life. But time has a way of making all things easier to handle, and so it is with my Debra. Tonight she was back into her normal routine of wanting to play on her tree, etc. All Schuyler seems to want is to be accepted. Surprisingly, it seems like Lily is more tolerant of his presence than Debra! Who would have thunk!

That is the good news; here is the bad: Tonight when I picked up Schuyler, I happened to feel a rather large lump on the inside thigh of his hind leg . . . I am calling the vet first thing tomorrow . . . hope it is just a cyst.
