white cat is doing *extremely* well and thanks for caring

the teeth that had to be removed were not any of his fangs and he seems not
to miss them in the least... not only that, because they had been infected,
within a few days of the extraction
he started to get healthier and livelier than ever...

here is what happend today...
(and it's fairly typical)

first he wakes me up at 4am to be let out...
he has to cry or rub his face right in my face to wake me up...
then i let him out and go back to sleep.

when i get up for breakfast i let him in and feed him..

after he eats he runs over to the stairs and just waits for me to come over
and give him
a good brushing...
eventually my arm gets tired and he runs up the stairs
so i can turn on the bathtub (just a dribble) and he can get a drink...

he used to just jump in the tub, but now he's added one more step
he jumps up on the bathtub ledge and has to walk through the "tunnel" made
by the
shower's inner and outer curtains   *then* he will go into the tub...
he sometimes gets a little water in his nose and sneezes...
then he runs over to the upper stair landing so i can play "cat-stick" with
him

i have a long, thin dowel that i poke under a throw rug and wiggle it
around, so he can attack it.

he is as playful (or more playful) than a kitten!!!
he would play for hours i think!!!!

somtimes i give him mint that i;ve dried in a bag over the winter...
it grows all over the back yard here.

this year there is also a bumper crop of milkweed

the yard is always full of monarch butterflies

and no, white cat does not attack them because they are only there during
the day
while he is inside sleeping...

ahh it smells so good back there...flowers and all kinds of plants to make a
perfect "cat jungle"
