The cat with no name

Tengil spent the night on the sofa with Tomek. They both slept very well. Tonight we will try to sleep in the bedroom with the door closed. But we are both unsure if it will work. Right now I'm sitting in the bedroom with the door closed and Tengil is sleeping in the sofa. It seems as if he can sleep a really long time if you don't wake him. And he doesn't wake easily. Today he has discovered hwo fun it can be to attack our feet. He spent breakfeast attacking Tomek's feet (which was fun for both Tengil and me...). It doesn't really hurt that much, it's just quite shocking.

Anyway, I just thought that I would add a picture of the cat with no name (or Merry Christmas which is his name in the pedigree), that is, the other kitten that will join us in a month. Here is a rather old picture of him and his siblings. I think he's the one with the really blue eyes, looking up. Tomek still has no name, he says he wants to see the kitten before naming (we've already seen him twice...)

First day



I have a day off from work today to be home with Tengil. We spent the night together on the sofa. I didn't sleep much, but not because Tengil was up, rather the opposite. He sleept under my blanket so I couldn't move, wouldn't want to crush him. Besides from not sleeping, it was absolutley marvoules to have a litten kitten in the bed, laying next to you, purring... Oh, before we went to sleep, Tengil spent a good five minutes attacking my feet if i dared to move them under the blanket. Appearently, all things moving under a blanket should be attacked.

When Tomek woke up, he and Tengil played for a little while before Tomek had to go to work. Then Tengil and I played for a long while and than feel a sleep in the sofa watching TV. Now Tengil is waking up, noticing my hands on the keyboard, he already attacked them once. It is also very nice to stand on the keyboard while I use the computer, I noticed.

Another fun thing to do which goes under the label "playing with owner, when owner tries to do other things" is to bite and claw in the book owner is reading.

As it seem that Tengil likes to play with strings, I made him a little toy by attaching a small piece of paper on the end of a string. Tengil liked this a lot. He jumped, tossed and made somersaults trying to destroy it.

Tengil has arrived!



Now the little boy is here! Joy! It has all gone very well so far.
We picked him up earlier today. He didn't mind going in to the transport bag, leaving the house, but when we started the car he started to whine and did so all the way home. At the end of the trip he tried to get out of the bag.

When we got home, we opened the bag in the same room where his catoillet is placed. He quite quickly went out of the bag and started to explore the room. He soon got brave and explored the rest of the apartment. We have two rooms closed though, its a big apartment the explore. He has been great! When he got comforted, he's been going around purring. We've also played a lot and then it was time for the humans to eat. Tengil didn't want to be in the kitchen, instead he ran of in to the living room and meow until I came to check on him. We did this a couple of time until he got in to his little bed (a cardboard box with a blanket). We then understood that he was tired and wanted to sleep. So we ate our food in the living room. Now Tengil is sleeping :)
