Between worlds: observations of a semi-feral boy

A whole night in the house!

I had the most awesome time last night. First I spent a long time snuggling on Mama's lap while she paid attention to the box that shows lots of flickering light and voices come out of it. That was nice, because it was pretty cold on my Porch even with my blankets and igloo and heater, and it's much nicer to be on Mama's lap than alone out there.

Then Mama said that if I was good and didn't try to keep her all to myself or chase the other cats, I could sleep inside the house! So she turned off the Porch heater - something about not wasting 'lectric - and I spent the WHOLE NIGHT inside! I slept upstairs on the big soft warm fluffy surface, curled up next to Mama. Lady climbed up on the bed after a little while, and Mama told me it was fine, and Lady cautiously settled down to sleep a few feet away from me, at Mama's feet. And then this morning I woke up and Thomas was only four inches away from me, curled up in a ball, asleep! We were three kitties and a Mama on a bed, all warm and comfy and feeling safe and trustful! That's the first time I've ever felt so cozy and part of things. Leo and Pixie stayed in the office-room, because Leo's still scared of me and Pixie is AntiSocial as a rule, but that's okay. I was a Good Boy and didn't chase them even though Mama left the doors open, and there were no growling and hissing and shrieking episodes, and we all had a good night's sleep.

It's much better to be hanging out inside where it's toasty-warm and dry, than out on the drafty Porch when it's sleeting and horrible Outside. And it's good to be on civil enough terms with Lady and Thomas to all curl up on the same bed. Maybe someday soon we'll even be furriends!

This morning Daddy came home from his Kamping trip, so now I'm curled up on his lap watching the lighty-voicy box. I really can't think of a better weekend in my whole life so far.
