Progressing with some more firsts over the weekend.  While getting pats on the soft carpet, he rolled over on his shaved side and continued to demand pats in good comfort!  Later, he wanted to scout the house and went upstairs.  

While he was scouting, he passed a full length mirror that he's only seen once or twice before, in a room that's usually closed.  He was a little wary, trying to figure out the alternate-universe me and him, but ended up just laying down back-to-back with his reflection for a while before continuing his sweep of the house.  That other cat looked just like him!  Shaved side and all!  

When he was done scouting upstairs, I thought for sure he'd need help getting back down, but he just gave it a considering look and took the staircase three or four steps at a time.  

We had another little window of good weather this morning and got in a nice nap outside in the sun.  Then, because he is a creature of habit, he sat outside the kitchen window to beg for food, and I had to go back inside and let him see me in there before he'd run to the door to come in and get fed.  My hungry little buddy.  <3

Hi guys!

It's been raining almost nonstop for days so not much outside time for me and the lil fur butt.  We braved a light misting to sit out on some fluffy towels and listen to the woodsy noises for a little while, but the tail was whapping the deck pretty hard and we both decided that was enough and went back inside.  He's still working on walking comfortably, but he's really figured out the tripawed gallop, so he's doing that more when he knows where he wants to go.  I got him some fancy tuna treats at the Red Bandana store, which have been met with approval.  I like to give him a couple after he comes back to his bathroom from a good walk.  Oh, I never mentioned, the rest of this household is pretty allergic to cats, which is why he's mostly in the bathroom while he's getting used to all this and growing his fur back out.  I can mop in there and keep the dander down, and he's pretty content to stay in there with all his comfy warm stuff, now that the door is usually open.  He's definitely getting more back into his usual habits, like yelling if the door is shut and he doesn't want it to be.  

Hopefully the weather will look up and I can come back with some more nice sunny pictures!

Thank you Sally.  <3  

Moe's still trucking along.  His fur is finally starting to come in black again.  He's also returned to his formerly pushy ways about getting fed four times (I like to give him his wet food a little at a time so it doesn't sit around between his bouts of gusto).  Which currently means he's doing plenty of circuits of the house to get from his room to the office.  He's been following me outdoors too while I've been working on the yard with the doors open.  

Last week I was out of food but got out of work really late and had to get him a can of Friskies at the gas station.  Man, they must put some tasty junk food in there because I gave him some that night, and in the morning when I took it out of the fridge and gave him a sniff at it, he ran full gallop back to his room and his dish and yelled at me nonstop till he got some.  But the ingredients on the can don't look so good, so, sorry Moe, we won't be switching!  

I guess my overall plan is to give him his choice of in or out during the day and give him plenty of time to acclimate to everything while his fur is growing back.  If I'm lucky he'll decide for himself when he wants to move back into his house.  

Here he is out on the deck the other day, getting some sun and showing off his good side.  

Handsome boy.  <3
