Monkey Boy

Next week Sammy gets part two of his distemper booster. He is happy and healthy and feeling right at home, and he and Lily-dog are friendly. Sammy has his open cat hut, lined with a towel, next to the boiler, and his food bowl is way inside so Lily can't poke her head in and eat from it. The hut (which is just a cat carrier) is draped with a purple towel, and Sammy loves to lounge on top. His orange and white fur against the purple towel is beautiful! There is a hemp-rope wrapped pillar in the basement that he climbs and claws like a tree. He is a happy, curious, and playful boy. He runs freely all over the house. He loves to climb on the paper piles in my studio. He and Lily follow each other around and are beginning to play. Lily is very protective of the kitchen though! They have even slept together on the cushion in front of the heater in Bill's office.

Last night Sammy was fascinated by a stream of water I ran in the yellow bathroom sink. He put his paw under it and drank from it. I watched him playing with the water for twenty minutes. He is a fabulous cat. He's a monkey boy!
