Life with Jack


Jack is one smart and funny kitty. Since his arrival in February, he's become more and more comfortable with me. He's gained a pound or so and looks much healthier than he did when he first arrived.

The plastic rings from the tops of milk jugs rank as his current favorite toys. He's learning to fetch, which I encouraged at first. Now I'm not so sure if that was a good idea as he's bringing me toys in bed!

Yesterday evening, the coffee table became a playground for the first time. Now, I'm not overly uptight about my furniture, but I'd really prefer that toys not be on the coffee table. But everything is a matter of degrees. I'd take the coffee table over having my bed turned into a playground at 2 AM any day!

This past weekend, Jack discovered the television. I was flipping past "Funniest Pets and People" and he was fascinated. He left his perch on the back of the couch and ran right up to the TV, peeking around the side and pawing at the screen to try to get to those other animals.

Every day seems to hold a new discovery for Jack and I enjoy seeing his reactions. Can't wait to see what he'll do in the new apartment.

P.S. Marty continues to be in my thoughts almost constantly, but having Jack around has definitely helped to turn those thoughts into fond memories instead of grief. I'll never forget my fuzzy grey baby!

Yup...those are Aunties babies! I still miss Fuzzy Bucket (and my Nono), but Sassy Pants sure took a new special place in my heart.
