He's 22 days old, and he's chowing down at mom's bowl! He's nursing,
but he's also eating *quite a lot* of cat food. I am wondering if
he'll end up so big we'll have to get an exotic pet license. ;-)
Hubert's also discovered the water. He couldn't quite figure out the
drinking fountain; I watched while several times he stuck his nose in
it and snorted, then stuck a paw in it and shook it furiously when it
came out wet. He moved from there to Tallulah's water bowl - surely
the still, tame water should be easier to deal with. It wasn't. He'd
stick his nose in and snort, then circle the bowl to see if the water
was behaving better in another location. It wasn't. Lotsa snorting.
Then Tallulah noticed what he was doing, scruffed him, and dragged him
away. In a bit he approached the fountain again, but she was right
behind him to drag him away from the dangerous water. The poor little
guy may never get the hang of drinking, if Tallulah's around to
prevent it.
She, on the other hand, is a great consumer of water from both bowl
and fountain. Maybe she just doesn't want to share.

Sounds like you've got quite the entertainment center at home now! Will
Hubert play with cat toys yet?

Heh. The only time Hubert *stops* playing with cat toys is when he's
out cold. Of course, in the "cat toy" category I am including his
tail and his mother. :-P

I think the next one may be, "Do not soak up affection like a sponge
when Mama wants to be petted and cuddled!"

Well, next was do not use the litterbox. She seems distressed at
Hubert's increasing activity and independence; she doesn't want to see
her baby growing up!

Uh oh. Are you going to have to step in and take over some of the mothering
duties? ;-)

Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered
in fur!

Hmm, that's a pretty inconvenient rule. Hope she rethinks that one.

Lots of purrs for Hubert to master drinking without snorting really soon,
