So, it looks like I have another roommate. It's been a question for the last few days, but I think he's here to stay.
He's kind of an elderly gentlemen, in cat years, and he has some health issues that I hope can be cleared up. Aside from that, he's the sweetest, friendliest, most loving cat anyone could ask for. Almost too much so, initially. Clingy would have been a more appropriate word, but then he started getting used to me, and me to him, and now he seems pretty happy other than when we have the daily struggle to get some medicine down his throat! He's still snuggly, but not constantly. Seems to work well for both of us.
He also doesn't have the need to open cabinet doors, climb closet shelves, get into drawers, or investigate every last thing in the house like the last feline I had. He sniffed the place out thoroughly at first, of course, as any self-respecting cat would do.
I did not sleep AT ALL the first night, but that was as much me adjusting to him being there as it was him wanting to sleep on my chest. I'm still tired, but hopefully sleep patterns are returning to normal, such as that is.
He came with the name Tucker. Somehow feel a need to change that, but haven't decided on a new one.
On the hiking front, we've attempted to climb Pisgah the last two weeks, including yesterday, but the weather has been so hot and muggy that we turned back both days. Yesterday wasn't even that hot, but terribly muggy. And the air quality isn't the greatest, because of wildfires, though I don't think that was a factor in our turning back. We still got in almost 2 hours of walking, so it could be worse.
