I went to Petsmart during lunch and spent more money on him. I think I've spent more money on him in the last two days then I've spent on T & P in the last 10 years!

Since he does have his claws, I thought a catnip scratcher might be a good thing to make him feel more comfortable - and help him to not even get started on my bosses desk. My desk is metal so I wasn't worried about that. He adores the scratcher, and is laying on/by it right now, half falling asleep.


Oh, and I think he's a drooler because the cardboard looked a little wet when he got done. And I also bought a brush to help clean him up a bit, and I didn't realize it at the time, but my hand was a little wet when I got done brushing him.


It was then time for a bath. Yeah!


A nice big yawn (and again, I only got the end of it )


And then he got comfortable for a little more cleaning time.


Then the gas man came to the door, so I shooed him back into my boss's office so he wouldn't run out the door. He hid under the table again until the gas man was gone. Then I called to him and he answered - he's quite the talker. I kept calling and he kept answering, but wouldn't come out. So I peeked my head around the wall, and he was peeking his head out the door - sooo cute - but I didn't get a pic (drat!). He looked a lot like the very first pic I saw of him from the tenants. He did come out when he saw me, came over for some pets, then went back to his scratcher. After I wrote the part above about him laying on/by it, I turned around and this is what I saw.


The next time I looked, though, he was gone. Must have heard some noise that scared him, but I didn't even hear him go. So slow but sure he's warming up to me.
