Just Because

Hello everyone. I was telling san that she needed to tell my side of the story with Rez. I was very tolerant for 2 years. I knew he was young and I thought he would settle down. But there is such a thing as 'a little too slow.' I think Rez is like that so I am taking a firmer hand with his education. I am glad my sister Akira is taking a more proactive approach as well. i have decided to follow her example. 

I am glad to report after many firm reminders, he is no longer harassing me quite as much. I am letting my sister deal with him more and more as I know she can do it and it makes her feel part of the family to do this. It will be three years this December. When will he learn do you think?

Metamorphosis

2.5 years ago he was called Blackie, just for the color of his coat. This was Blackie after dinner. When he heard the key rings, he would yell for us to wait so we would know he was coming to dinner. he had only 2 meals a day and sometimes not even that as he would sometimes be afraid to come out if he was chased off by people the day before. Sometimes there would be feral dogs who would come for food left by others and chase him off.

Last year, on this date he looked like this. Still surprised and he was not allowed free reign of the whole house yet. so I would have taken this picture when I was home and it would have been late afternoon.

This was last Sunday. He owns the bedroom now. He had been allowed full reign of the house but he decided that my bedroom was best. Now, however, little by little he has decided to come out in the evening to sit with the family which was good. It allows the otehr cats to get used to his presence and for him to figure out what living with a family is like. It took Popps about a year to figure this out. Rezki is taking a much longer time. This will be his 3rd year in the house. 

Saturday Easy

We are happy to have no collar weekends as we get a rest from those satellite collars. So for this weekend we are celebrating by just hanging out. 

Popps has been trying to play with Akira for the last week but Akira was too fearful and would just run away screaming. As a result of this Bujang also getd into the act and reprimands Popps every time this happens. So I am trying to get them all to mingle their scents together as they all, except Bujang, takes TCM. So I will just use one towel to wrap them and not use different towels for each one. Reading the literature, this may work better for integration.
