not quite the weekend update
Jul. 22nd, 2011 09:21 amOK. What the fucking fuck is this weather? I am deeply unhappy with the state of things, and these cramps really aren't helping. Wow, swearing and oversharing. yeah. brought to you by sodding tropical uglyness.
Anyway ... so yesterday. I fussed and fretted all day about Jinx being home alone in this heat. So I busted out of here half an hour early and got home to find ... no Jinx in his room. Hmmm. So I get out the jingly toy he seemed to like the night before and start going around the house playing spot the kitten. Five or ten minutes later and I'm just about to panic and he comes out from under the guest bed. Still getting used to just how small he is!!
So things looked fine, and he had clearly used his box, so I let him explore. But it was SOOO hot he just kept flopping over and panting. He liked playing with an ice cube though. But around 7p.m. I decided it was time for plan C ... and I grabbed his crate, and his food and water, and we moved into my bedroom with the air conditioner. And stayed there. He spent a couple hours under the bed, but eventually he came out and wanted to play.
So I found him a sock to wrestle, and he managed to jump up on my bed about half of the times he tried (its a pretty tall bed for such a little kitten). Then he had a major argument with the flannel comforter. :) He likes to be stroked, but not so much with the cuddling yet.
Spent our first night together. He kept pinging on and off the bed for a while, but I woke up a couple times in the night and he was passed out on the pillow next to me. I do worry a bit about him sleeping with me at this point cause he's so small and I don't want to roll over on him or anything!
But he was all perkylicious this morning and we had about a half hour of him running around on the bed and staring up at the ceiling fan, and launching himself off the headboard at me. Then there was some major kill-the-mouse time followed by a rest on the top of his carrier!
Hated to leave him, but hopefully he will spend most of the day in the bedroom where its cool. He was back to sock killing when I left. I make it into a ball, and then he wrestles it until he gets it unrolled. Better than he take out his energy on a sock then, say, my curtains...
Can't wait to spend the weekend with him! Must clean the house ... he keeps running around and coming up covered in dust. Whoops!!
