Last night, we let Tumble-bug into the living room and long hallway. There was hissing and swatting, but lots of playing on his part. Tonight, we have this:

Callie (on the ottoman) and Tumbleweed looking out the window.


Hannah (behind the curtain) and Tumbleweed, who was going to pounce on Hannah, but got distracted by a jogger outside.


All is calm at the moment. Hannah's by the kitchen, Callie's sleeping by the computer chair, and I have no idea where Tumbleweed is. Maybe I should go check on him!

A missing, quiet kitten can be worse than a missing, quiet toddler! Hope you found him and that he was being a good little kitty.

OMG!!! Tumble is HUGE!!!! What are you feeding him?

I was looking back at his rescue photos last night. What a pitiful little mite he was. Here are a couple I didn't have the guts to post when you were trying to decide about him as I was afraid he'd be too much of a turn off. He was sooooooo scared, with his little tail tucked between his legs.




And look how tiny compared to J's hand!



He's come a long way and it's just getting better every day!

I'm soooo glad he has you!

We're feeding him Wheaties!
The boy definitely has an appetite and can put away the food!!

We've seen that scaredy look on several occasions, mainly at the vet's office. He's getting so brave and he LOVES to follow his older sisters EVERYWHERE they go, even to the litter box. He looks so sad when they jump up on the back of the chair or someplace too far for him to jump. They're getting along very well, but we still supervise and we're still hearing a hiss every now and again. He gets a swat every once in a while as well. He's learning and he's growing like a weed!

Sounds like things are progressing right on schedule. The girls are keeping Tumbleweed in line and socializing him so he will be well-adjusted. He's such a darling boy.

Wow! he has gotten tall!
It does look like he's settling in nicely - the girls certainly don't seem to mind his presence.

Awwww......he looks so comfortable in his new surroundings!

I love this pic - especially when you said he had just noticed a jogger going by - and I can see Hannah behind the curtain - Tumbleweed's got that "Wha.....what was that?!" body language.
