I just realized that while I’ve been sleeping at night, Chip has been having fun flying to every flat surface to see what’s up there.
He hasn’t knocked anything to the floor, but I think he’s just curious, and making sure that everything in here has my smell and no one else’s.
There are little (and not-so-little) grains of litter on all the surfaces! Or foot impressions in the soft ones. So he is, in his own way, adjusting to being here.
PS: He is a tuxedo, but he is definitely chocolate, except for his reddish tail, which has a white tip on it. I lost him for a bit, but found him in the lower kitchen cupboard, which has no partition to the storage under the sink.
Because of the chemicals under there, I’ve had to order baby-proof gizmos for the cupboards. They’ll be here tomorrow. I’ll also have to put some in the bathroom. There are other, safer places for him in this apartment.
And yes if he weighs 8# it will surprise me. He really is a pretty cat, and I just did the slow wink to him, so maybe that will help.
At least he’s quiet. And he probably enjoys having enough room to jump around.
