I will report more on my mom's visit when I have some time and inclination to sit at the computer for that long. For now I leave you with a photo of Monkey, our dear little kitty cat. She is our first since our cat Fezig passed away almost 4 years ago (unfortunately the same day we celebrated our best friends' baby shower - something they are rightly not so happy about). J and I adopted Fezig from the humane society in Washington soon after we moved in together after returning from the Peace Corps. The humane society came to do a home visit before we could adopt him, something I remember being happy about but also wishing that every parent wanting to have a child would have to do as well... Anyway, so now we have another cat that was unwanted for some reason or another. A friend of mine here rescues animals and Monkey was found as a kitten, skinny and half starved with a wire wrapped around her foot that was creating all kinds of sores and some permanent nerve damage. She lived with my friend for about a year and now she's found a permanent home with us. She is affectionate and quiet and likes people. She sleeps on our bed with us and plays as young cats do. She is adjusting to C, albeit slowly. I keep trying to explain to C that chasing her and grabbing at her are not the ways to her heart. But she'll come around eventually. J tried changing her name to Charlie, as in Charlie Chaplin, due to her little mustache-like spot above her mouth. But C wouldn't allow it. So she is Monkey, our new addition. Welcome Monkey!
And this photo is just from a bit of fun with LC. He is sitting by himself completely and making crawling motions. However, given his great bulk he isn't yet able to push himself to all 4s. But I expect it won't be that long so he can chase after C, or after Monkey.

There is always room for a cat in a family. Glad C is involved with Monkey and look forward to hearing about LC's adventures with Monkey. LC is becoming quite a charmer, just like his brother
