OK - I think I'm doing this right. Should be a clickable thumbnail of a video (edited to add, it is! LOL) :

For those familiar with the story, this video has a picture of the table leg (the area now taped up) where the sharp thing is that fastens the table down for travel (he's being fostered in a trailer we rented for him) that hurt his ear.

...and this is just a video of him playing with a mousie. Normally he's more active, wiggly his butt and running and leaping around, but it's really hot today.

He used to be terrified of the toys.
He's come such a long way in a month - not bad for a 2-year old boy that never lived inside before!

Well, given the wait time at the local sanctuary that accepts FIV+ kitties is two years, and I've never heard back from the foster network that takes FIV+ kitties (says on their front page they're not accepting any new kitties), I'm guessing he's gonna be a really long term foster, if we're even able to integrate him in with our crew.

Oh Laurie, he is so beautiful, and he looks likes such a sweetie
At times like this I wish I had my own house, so I could adopt more kitties, like him... One day I will, hopefully

Yeah, we wish we had a larger place - even though with four of ours becoming seniors this year, the last thing we need is the financial commitment of another cat, but we're just not prepared to put him down even though we can't find him a home. Thank God for our vets that help out....
The funny thing is, he's become SUCH a good boy! He only scratches on that scratcher, and he only pees in the box... We've let our crew shred the end of the couch and the window box... I wonder what bad habits he'll be learning from them if we make this intro work out?!

I swear I could sit and watch cats play all day long. Does anyone pay for that service?!?
Charlie seems to be a bit like my Holland... "I'm going to pretend I'm not interested in playing, even though I really am...".


I hope he finds his furrever home soon! What a handsome boy.

Oh my goodness, he is such a silly boy
and he looks sooooooo happy. Look at him playing
. His stripes are gorgeous!

He looks like a very strong boy too!

Does he talk, I could not hear him say anything in the video.

He only talks to say "hi" or "YAY, DINNER" (which is what we call every meal).


He is strong - his vet says he has great muscle mass.

Our Sheldon is very long, tall and lean - but his tail is amazingly strong. Same with Charlie's - we always wonder what kind of pounds of pressure per inch they're able to exert with them.
