Terabith Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 How are things going? Also, I have a proposition for you. @Spy Car, you should run a summer camp that involves cooking, flame throwers, contact sports, and math. It would be very fun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Spy Car checks in! My physicist husband says flame throwers do not work for thawing snow. I don't really understand the logic, but he's adamant that they are a) ineffective, and b) dangerous when utilized for snow removal purposes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spy Car Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Oh man, things could not be working out better. We are all in love with Desmond. He's brought a lot of joy into our home. I'm especially happy that Desmond seems to have a special bond with Mrs Spy Car. After a rough day at work he provides just the tonic she needs to unwind. What is it about kitty purring that evokes such power? Magical stuff. He is a really cool cat. Just naughty enough to be interesting and extremely affectionate and clearly content (except when meals are late, LOL). He definitely seems to like my "cooking." LOL. Back in October, when he first came to own us, he was still recovering from surgery (he'd been run over by a car and had a broken bone that was pinned), but the rescues and vets did an amazing job getting him care. Still, he was a little bit limpy. We didn't care, we were taking him as he was. But time, activity, and good nutrition have worked wonders. He can now leap to tabletop levels with no problem (countertops are not in his range). And it is working out as well as I could have hoped with the dog. He and Chester are not grooming each other (yet) so no YouTube-type videos of dog/cat love to offer, but their relationship is easy. I'm so glad that we did this.

Definitely gives the vibe of wildcat! Sorry for your loss. It is hard. I've seen photos of many mackerel tabbies who very strongly resemble Desmond, I've been surprised to the degree there is a type. We often joke that while he may be "common," that his look is like that of an erotic wildcat. I like that. And his behaviors have just the right balance of (mostly) domestic aspects, with that bit of the wild that keeps him interesting. Cats are fascinating.

Although we are complete neophytes (well, not Mrs Spy Car, she had cats as a girl) we were almost instantly trained by Desmond that a cat in the lap means one is not to move. Good humans!
