So even for me this has been remiss in posting. Chili went back to the shelter on Saturday, and stayed. I didn't get a farewell picture, partially because we expected him to come back with us for another couple days.
His cold cleared up quickly. His eye got better then plateaued. Wed morning we discovered he'd eaten the extra-long tail off a toy mouse. Well, the tail was half the length it was, and we never did find the string, so we assume he ate it. Between the two, we figured he'd stick around.
However, since he was showing no signs of distress in the litter box from the string, and his URI was cleared up, they decided to keep him at the shelter. They were going to change treatments for his eye to try and clear the last bit up. Since that's a lot less contagious across cages than a URI they decided to keep him at the shelter. I notice he's up for adoption today. Hooray!
Chili is a lap cat. He loves people, but may be a bit shy at first in a new area. After he adjusts to his surroundings he loves all people whether he's met them before or not. We had a network technician out (another reason my posts have been limited--we *think* it's fixed now, but we'll see) and several friends over and he was thrilled.
If you sit down, he's likely to crawl in your lap. Yes, he's a 9 month kitten. He's still a lap cat who PURRs. If he isn't purring give him any attention and he will be. He purrs and purrs and purrs and purrs. It's rather impressive. He does enjoy playing and does tear around the room from time to time, but mainly--he's the boneless cat from Charlie Brown. Lays on the floor hoping you'll pick him up so he doesn't have to actually get up to get in your lap!
Adorably sweet and cuddly kitten--now available!

Chili sounds like a real sweetheart. I am sure he will find a home soon.
