More Timmits
Well, the cat seems to have adopted our family,but it make be a week or so before we know for sure. He is very forceful about going outside (he bit me the first time I tried to stop him), we let him out frequently, but he is happy to come in when the mood strikes him and he likes being inside too. Sometimes he just sticks his head out for a minute to be sure he still is free to go.
The kids love to play with him, but he isn’t always in the mood. But he always seems to be in the mood for getting his head scratched.
I get the feeling he knows more than he’s letting on. It’s actually a bit annoying, but I often feel that way about animals and babies. Maybe it’s part of why I always treat animals kindly — there’s the odd impression that they are evaluating my behavior for some dark purpose. Probably nothing beyond getting the next meal, though.
