Cat & random hair observation

[bunn]

Fankil is doing really well.  Yesterday I went into the room and he was sitting on the windowsill.  He didn't run away, he came to play with Gothmog kitten, and he even took some treats that I chucked to him!   We are now letting him out to explore the house, though so far today he hasn't moved from his safe place behind the printer cupboard.  Perhaps he will come out later this evening.

Gothmog and Rosie are currently cuddled in front of the fire together. I put out two dog beds, in case they didn't want to share, but they do.   They are actually much more snuggled than this now, but this is a photo from the first time they did it, when Gothmog decided to chew Rosie a bit.  I assume not too hard, since Rosie is a galaxy-class wimp and would certainly not lie there to be chewed if it hurt.



I think the presence of Gothmog is doing Rosie good.  So far today she has eaten three large meals and has just got up to wowl at me to demand a fourth.  And she's wagging a lot. This is very out of character, but also welcome! 

I cut my hair this morning after just letting it grow for literally years (only a trim, but still).  Something I'd started doing recently is to plait my hair into a style roughly based on that of the Elling Woman bog body, and I'd been surprised to find that I could more or less just loop the hair into place without needing pins or elastic or anything.    Now, I find I can't do that any more!  There seems to be something about having chopped the ends off with scissors that stops them from forming a shape that holds together.  Hmph.  This is an argument for being less tidy in future.

Gothmog and Rosie! :)
If it doesn't show, I am 100% here for photos of this adorable duo.

Glad to hear Fankil is doing ok!

(Pretending not to have read that haircuts or even trims cause trouble, because I'm feeling like I'm due for a cut/trim.)

I'm glad to hear things are going well with Fankil and that Rosie is happy with the new arrivals. :-)

So glad Fankil is doing well! Gothmog clinging to Rosie's leg is so funny :-)

Awww so glad the critters are all happy together and Fankil is coming out of his shell!

I love the photo of Rosie and Gothmog! She looks like she deserves something nice for putting up with a kitten!

I hope Fankil continues to get more social!

My grandson just came in and squealed over Rosie! He was very impressed that I knew her name. He said she is one of the most beautiful dogs he ever saw! Awww! And he has never even seen her in her red coat!

Fankil is making great progress, and I'm glad that the presence of Gothmog is bringing out Rosie's gregarious side! :-)

Perhaps the split ends were tangling with each other and holding the whole thing up.

Gothmog's just assessing how edible Rosie is, just in case you forget to feed her...

Glad to hear Fankil ventured out a bit, hoping his investigations are continuing.

Split ends do help to keep hair in a style, though my hair's so slippery even with split ends I could never keep it out of the way without additional help of clips or bands.

So glad to hear Fankil was able to play!

And that Rosie and Gothmog are apparently firm in friendship.
