Pics of new kitty?

I don't have any loaded onto image hosting yet! I'll do it soon. He's orange. His name is Enrique (Quique). I'm beginning to realize just how he wound up at animal control twice. But I've got patience, and he is young. We'll figure it out.

Good morning. My plans today are to take our friend, visiting from MN, to see the sights of Ocean drive/downtown Corpus Christi. Yesterday we watched a releasing of rehabilitated green sea turtles, that was quite a spectacle and very cool. Those animals are so darned cute and interesting! We see one poke it's head up out back once in a while on the lake, but to see one up close was something else. Really awesome that they have a foundation/program in place to rehabilitate these turtles. Mostly rehab from indirect human damage (fishing line and tackle), but also from cold stuns and viruses.

    *sigh* Yeah. This morning he was on top of the kitchen cabinets (again). He has a tall cat tree, but apparently that's not good enough! It's tough. I still cry over my last cat. And the fact that this one is a bit hard to love doesn't make it any easier. But, I'll give him the best home that I can, and hope that in time he'll calm down.

    My last cat climbed on everything...top of cabinets was a favorite. She would go from the kitchen island, to the countertop, to the fridge, then the very top cabinets, knocking everything down along the way. My current cat is old and fat and just sleeps. We saw her jump onto the deck banister once and we were amazed she could get up there.

    This one gets as high as he can and then meows because he can't walk ON the ceiling! I'm wondering if I should just surrender and put those cat shelves all around the house. Not sure if that would make it worse or better.

    My Diamond learned to jump on my dresser and on top of a tall cedar robe where my TV sits and turn the TV off. :facepalm: Too smart for her own good. Then she would just look at me like “what...I didn’t do nothing...lick lick lick” She could also walk on my alarm clock and the music would start blaring and wake me up...over and over. I don’t even know how to do that. She was something.

    I'm sure he will eventually feel the love and calm down. Age helps also cause the young ones have so much energy.

    One more Diamond story (I have many more but I’ll spare you). Years ago I had one of those 15’x4’ Walmart pools. I would float on my float and Diamond would climb the ladder and get on my chest and go to sleep. In the pool! Crazy cat.
    I love the stories. What a smart cat.:) My Tigger was a smart cat too. I will miss him forever.

    I sure hope so. He also can be aggressive. Not too bad, but he wants attention only when he wants it, and lets you know when it isn't the time. Not hard enough to break the skin though with either claws or teeth. We're working on that with lots of treats. He's allegedly 2 ish, but he may be older or younger. In his favor: he wants to be picked up and carried around, and purrs and purrs while you carry him. He plays fetch. For like 20 minutes straight. He drops his toy mouse on me or my computer keyboard.

    Good morning mixers. I still miss our cat. He didn’t like me holding him but I would play with him and spin him around on the hardwood floor. He also liked to jump from the floor to the counter to the fridge to the cabinet above. We used to have to vacuum up there often.

    I also hate the time change. I wish we could stop doing it. As far as plans go, I’m not sure. Some coffee and breakfast then I’ll see what I feel like doing. I did buy some old tools yesterday when I went with the wife to the antique/junk shops. I need to clean those up.

    I also hate the time change. There is a petition floating around to stop it. Don't know how successful that will be but we can hope.
    If we get rid of time change then I hope they keep it the way it is now with the added hour. I like it staying light later. Morning is a fog regardless of where the sun is so I don't care about morning light. :)

    My Tigger played fetch when he was young but lost interest with age.

    I’d like to keep this time also.
