Why TJS has been less active on the forum lately.......

Two words I've found to entertain most any cat or dog;

• Laser
  
• Pointer
  

Nuff said.

I can drive both my cats, and my wife, nuts with the watch or cellphone reflection. For some reason she dislikes when it points near her while watching tv. Not sure if it's because the light bothers her, or because the cats keep jumping up on her. Hehe

I'm sure that's all in your head @ShadowaceAz , why would any of that bother her...hehe

Before this gets cold.... just checking in on how the kitty is doing

TJS

Bonnet is doing great.



She's settled into her new environment and our routines very well. She learns very quickly where she should and shouldn't go although she still likes to try to climb on the screen door which my wife isn't happy about. Thankfully she's caused no damage to the screens and I've promised to fix them if there's any damage caused.

Often running around crazy like all kittens do but mainly sleeping and enjoying our company. She still needs to get comfort and love to get to sleep sometimes but in general she's showing much more independence.
Eating well, she's gained weight and grown quite a bit, looking like a healthy, happy little soul.
She had a few flees when we first got her but she's now flee free.
She's has her second vet visit this week to get her vaccinations.

Bonnet has definitely put a sparkle in our lives, we love her dearly and she is only too willing to show love back. 💜

I thought I'd post an update on Bonnet.

Today we took Bonnet to the vet for her final vaccination. She's not a big fan of the vet so I'm always leaving with some scratches & bites but it has to be done. She'll be going back in a couple of months to get a microchip & desexing. I'm not looking forward to this but again it's for the best.



She's doing extremely well at home, she's very happy & healthy. She now weights 3.4kg, a huge difference from less than a kilogram when we first found her. She is quite long for her age, her legs & tail are also longer than average. Her most obvious feature is huge ears. LOL!



Bonnet enjoys playing alot, lately she enjoys playing with plan old drinking straws. She'll carry them around in her mouth, placing them somewhere to attack them. Her favorite things to play with are anything she can pick up & run around with. She also enjoys sleeping, specially in weird positions.

She's recently discovered her shadow, she hasn't worked out what it is yet so she'll chase it around sometimes until she looses interest. She will also chase her tail around sometimes which is quite funny to watch.



We've all grown very close to Bonnet as she has to us. We feel blessed to have her in our lives.

As someone who has five stray rescued (as opposed to shelter rescued) cats, I've been following along as you provide updates. It's wonderful to see someone willing to take in a stray, especially when it's a unexpected decision placed in front of you.

You could have just as easily left the kitten go on living on the street and maybe she'd survive. But you made the better decision to take her in and allow her to affect your life in a positive fashion. Kudos!

'Bonnet Update'



We took Bonnet to the vet for desexing back in October last year. She had to stay overnight which cause us much anxiety. I actually cooked her a meal of chicken, peas and rice for when she got home. We were all happy to get her home the following day and she has been doing great as usual.

She still plays like a kitten & has probably become more attached to my wife and I.
We bought her a cat toy for Christmas (gif below) which she loves, although rolled up balls of al-foil are her current favorite.



She often sneaks into our bedroom at night to sleep on the bed. Sometimes I wake with her playing gently with my hair to wake me.

I bought her a harness with lead so I can take her for short walks. She still hasn't fully gotten used to idea but I think it's growing on her.

Bonnet definitely has a mind of her own and pretty much decides where, when and what she'll do. I think she believes we are her pets. LOL!

She will still often watch me playing NML. Her favorite part is opening after mission crates which I sometimes let her do. She's not a fan of GW, I guess going without attention for an hour can be a little too much for her.

Bonnet is extremely spoilt and is living every cats dream. We all love her dearly she definitely shows much love back.

Awesome!
