Josie update

Josie is very friendly. She's also skittish, especially about loud noises. If she's in my lap (which, if I am sitting she probably is) and I sneeze, she runs.

We were hoping to get her to play some, to help with the being overweight. We haven't found a toy yet which interests here--string, laser pointer, toy mouse, balls with bells--the most reaction has been a single paw bat at the mouse. She does run away after I give her her medicine, but not very far and she's easy to tempt back.

All is not lost, though. She's the most active lap cat I've seen. She wants to be in your lap. Except she rarely sits still when she's there. She waves her head around and arches and walks in a circle and so forth. So apparently the way to make the cat move is to sit down and pet her. Strange, but works!

Her cold is getting better. She's still congested, but is starting to sound clearer.

She purrs very easily. I'll try to grab a video over the next couple days of her lap antics and her purr. Tomorrow we have guests so she'll be introduced to quite a few people.Until then, here's a couple cute cat pictures.

  1. I volunteer with the cats at CCHS, and I was wondering where Josie had gone! I agree, she gets the most exercise when you just pet her in & around your lap. I'm sure she's enjoying being in your home where she can move around and get more attention. :)
