Yesterday was a very special day at my apartment: it was Renton’s birthday! He actually made it to one year of age without me killing him; we are all proud.
He got a nifty toy for his birthday, too. Let’s see how I can describe this thing. It’s a round thingy with a ball in it that rolls around on a track of sorts so he can bat at it, and in the middle is a replaceable pad made of cardboard for him to sharpen his claws on. I call it his Ball Thingy, and thank goodness he likes it. Based on past experience, it seems the cheaper the toy is, the more he likes it. He likes it even more when it’s not supposed to be a toy at all, like the pictures hanging over the sofa.
There is also good news to report on Mission: Toliet Cat. The last two times I’ve been able to catch him while he was peeing, he had three feet on the toliet rim! Yay, just one more foot to go, then we can work on weaning him from the litter totally. Thank god for Tuna, the only cat-persuasion device you could ever need.

I would like to take this moment to welcome back the Sun, which we have not seen here in Fort Payne for the past two weeks or so. Walking out of my office this afternoon was like entering another dimension; one with color and bright things to amuse the eye. I do still wish for snow, though. I moved up here specifically for snow, dammit.
