yes, when we got back from holiday, we brought our kitty home. granny just wasnt able to manage it longterm. bless her heart, she was so willing to begin with... i think she'd do anything for her grandkids... but she's just not a cat person. so to avoid the strain, back he came.

we've bn so happy since. it's lovely having a new little baby in the house. he's naughty, like any little-ones can be!... gets all angsty when he's been cooped up, or when he 1st wakes up and is hungry or needing someone to play with him. he calms down when he gets to spend time outdoors... and has got lost a few times too!

we had 1 breakthrough a week or so ago when dh carried him down from the window-ledge. (a 1st for dh!) then today another major one... tiger had been 'lost' a few hrs, and i had to put the kids to bed. dh wanted me to go after him, but i informed him that the kids wd still come 1st. (it was already an hr past kay's bedtime and kynan was feeling too ill to sleep) when i got out, i discovered dh had bn out searching... and come back with the little rascal. found him hiding behind a plantpot on e 2nd floor... furtherest he's been yet!  so has dh adeveloped a soft-spot for him?  ;)  perhaps...

some nights he likes to purr on my lap as i sit at the computer. then he'll nip me if i'm not stroking him fast enough (which will get him a prompt time-out if he doesnt stop pronto!)

he's the most gentle with kay. she's had a few nasty nips and scratches though, before he's finally allowing her to carry him here and there...even when he's in a flighty mood!

ky is his best playmate... swinging his toys high and low for him to chase and somersault over... usually quick to move his hands and feet out of striking distance...  :b
