Evening visits…
New development, he’s starting to come out in the evenings and hang out with me in the room… good grief he loves that scratching post!
Before 2020, I lived a very different life, a single life that required a significant amount of business travel. Then pandemic. By the time I got my landlord to agree to let me have a pet, all the shelters were empty and I ended up with a tiny, toothless feral cat I named Fang. Our journey was complicated, two feral creatures figuring out how to live with each other and I captured it with this blog. Sadly, he passed in September of that year and in my grief, I impulsively adopted a puppy. Taking care of him was the baby step that led to raising a puppy which was the baby step to making the move to the Hudson Valley which led to me choosing ceramics as my next chapter. So naming the studio after Feral Fang seemed fitting. Below is the journey that started it all.

He peed in my shoe…just one shoe. Right inside it. Hmmm… Maybe he doesn’t like his new fancy litter box… This is the first time he’s ever sent me a message like this before. He’s never even had an accident. TBH I’m laughing so hard, I can’t even be mad… 😹😹😹
His fancy new top entry litter box arrived!!! I decided the medium size looked a bit too small (cat’s gotta have room to move) so I got him this large, deluxe one… sure it’s so big I could fit about 20 of him in there but hey, it’s luxurious. Who doesn’t want a huge bathroom?
I know how absolutely ridiculous this looks, I ordered the post before I knew how small my cat would be… but he’s come to absolutely adore it. He launches to the top of it and gets stuck (think cat chin ups), he climbs it slowly, he rubs on it and purrs and now, he’s starting to flop all over the…
No idea what happened but he figured out toys!!! He took his cheese and spliffs to bed with him… #mamasboy
Apparently when the little lunatic isn’t under the sofa, he’s in the drawer under my bathroom sink… yes, it was fun for both of us when I opened that drawer… Bright side, he’s getting calmer. Last week when I didn’t know he was in the bathroom, I turned on the light and it was pure unadulterated chaos. He shot out…
It’s 4am. I’m awake because the little lunatic got into the recycling and started licking… every… single… thing… You can take a cat out of the alley but you can’t take the alley out of the cat…
We don’t get many moments but when we do, we make the most of them… 😍😍😍
How do you teach a cat to use a top entry litter box when you can’t pick them up and put them on it to show them it’s a litter box? No clue so I built a litter box condo… One step at a time?
Okay, we’re back on track, he’s forgiven me and he’s hanging around for a little post-supper repose… This is the most I’ve seen of him in a single moment to date! 🎉🎉🎉
