This morning we have discovered that Oscar really doesn't like rain! He's funny, he's turned his nose up at going outside when it's been tipping down (twice yesterday he did hat) but this morning he wanted to go out, it was drizzling...he walked outside, went straight under the hosepipe unit that's fixed to the wall - looked around and saw me still there, chirruped and came back in. He's definitely NOT into being wet!
He's been doing very well. We have visitors and they have two children with them (blended family situation, the 14 year old has grown up with a cat and has been very good, the 8 year old is very very loud and Oscar has been such a good boy around her) and both adults have had cats before - he's used to me and human daddy who are really pretty quiet so he's done very well. He's slept downstairs on human daddy's sofa though, must be the comfort of the smell of him.
I think he's looking forward to everyone going home and then he can just chill out. Even though we've all been talking/playing board games he's still been sitting in the lounge with us, apart from about an hour on Friday night when everyone arrived and it must have all been too much! He's also let everyone stroke him and that is a huge difference in him. I'm so proud of how he's been with the children - and they both fed him his hairball treats yesterday and the oldest said he was even more gentle taking them from her hand than their cat is (who's a BSH).
We watched the boxing last night and Oscar was properly mesmerised - maybe he was a pugilist in a former life, haha. Oh and we were just watching a Jackson Galaxy thing on the telly - and there was a very very feisty cat on there. WHOOMPF! Oscar's tail went bushy, he really didn't like that cat! So we never found out what happened
Now watching Gardener's World which is much more gentle for him. They are planting daffodils though and I'm a bit sad as I think gaffs are poisonous to cats, so none of them in my garden anymore, I'll have to dig them out once they start popping up in the garden won't I? We now have a Kitty Yoga session in front of the fire, I love watching him, as his little "arm" flops over the side of him when he from his chicken leg
Hope you are all having a nice weekend, despite the rain.
