I just thought I'd post an update on Mikey. I haven't bled in two days!! That's some kind of record. He did bite the back of my leg, but I believe it was a "love bite" that was a little out of control. He was purring at the time, stood on his hind legs, and bit. It didn't break the skin, but it took me by surprise and I felt it! I was busy at the sink at the time. (I wish it would cool off here...then I'd be wearing long pants instead of shorts.) I'm petting him, but only for short periods at a time. I watch his reactions carefully. I just don't think he'll ever be the kind of cat I can hold and cuddle for any length of time. We're just going to have to do things Mikey's way around here.
