Oh my goodness. It has been so long since I have written here. I have been hard at work helping my mom on her comprehensive exams. My job is to purr and curl up next to her on the couch while she works on the laptop. It's good to be able to say that I love my work.

I've been marking the slow progress into spring here. We've had lots of rain and then some more rain and then a little rain and then a shower or two and then some rain and this week...finally...a bit of sun. There's a patch of organic cat nip growing like mad for me in the backyard--all this rain has helped it double in size, so needless to say, I'm psyched on that.

Otherwise we've been pretty quiet here. I had a little allergic skin reaction to something and it messed me up for a while, but I'm back on track now and better than ever with my doseage of Wellcoat from Wellness. It works so well! We were all surprised, but very pleased.

The other surprise of late came a few weeks ago when upon returning from a weekend out of town, my parents brought in another cat!!! To my eyes--this cat is very small. I thought she was a kitten, but my mom says that she is a normal sized cat and I am size extra large (which is not bad or anything--just means I've got more scruffle to fluffle and belly to rub). The cat's name is York and she lives with my mom's parents usually. York knew my mom way back when and they seem very happy to be spending time together. Strangely, I'm not jealous, though Roo and Odin are in a complete snit about this fourth feline. I just want to get to know York better. I've tried approaching her with grace and referring to her as the Dutchess of York (to show some respect since she is about 10 years older than me), but she seems to be uninterested in me and maybe is a little afraid because despite her age lead, I've got about 15 pounds on her. I've only got a few more weeks to win over her friendship before she goes back to live at her home.

Maybe if I get a few pictures of her I can put up at catster page for her. How could she not want to be my friend after that?
