Yesterday, he was bugging her, and she rolled over and swatted at him in the laziest imaginable manner. Half hearted bop. He takes it without rancor, and tries again later. He is gaining confidence, slowly, incrementally. He is finding his boldness.
Only one mystery movie friend came last night, which is fine, he's good company. And Zeppo ran through a few times, his curiosity continues to slowly erode his skittishness. Then flopped down on a nearby rug and sang. Chris amused by the range of sounds coming from a cat. Eleanor sat behind his head on the sofa, quietly sniffing his hair. We look forward to a time when Zeppo becomes comfortable, and the obvious desire for affection becomes common normal behaviour for him, no matter who is here.
He adores the laser light. He even does what Moby used to, sees it in our hands, then looks down in front of him before we even turn it on, looking for the red bug. BEST GAME EVAH! Intense chasing ensues. Eleanor still seems to think, "it's a red light, why are you so excited, it's not like it's a MOUZE"
In tightening up the cat tree screws, we found a small infestation of moths. Much cleaning followed. Ugh. But it seemed contained. Old toys were discarded, the washable ones cleaned. The old wooly mice were much decayed.
We are getting both cats into the vet for well-cat checks this week. And to check Eleanor's tooth. Not the mobile house call vet who came to take care of car-averse Moby. His office is a considerable drive. Got a recommend for a neighborhood clinic, walked over there yesterday, and made appointments. A recommend and a nice vibe, and a very secure office cat.

Good cat progress!
Stay safe with the weather..
I love yard sales..but I must resist!!
gz,
We discussed a set of small drawers, and couldn't figure out where we'd put it, so we left them. I was just going to take the one necklace, the copper crescent, but she insisted I take the whole small plastic drawer set with all this. That got cleaned and will go to the basement until we eventually organize the workshop/spare bedroom.
I do have a growing pile for our yard sale one day. I kinda let stuff in and out, I think it's more a matter of not getting clogged up.
