OMG, my cats are the only thing I can talk about now

Paku still runs away from me a lot, but he is coming along. Earlier, he scooched between my back and the chair, and sat there for a good ten minutes or so. The Rodney-cat, on the other hand, is an almost permanent growth: he is always underfoot or on my lap or on my shoulder. I think he's actually a bit evil, and I am nervous about what happens when his claws grow back (the shelter trimmed them so they wouldn't hurt each other/themselves/me during the trauma of transport).

Haven't quite finished the Passion segment of my stagesoflove thing, and it is due by midnight. But I really want to go to bed... Nevermind. It's done now.

Yay! I love hearing about your kitties. This whole business with Paku being shy reminds me of how terrified my Macy was when he was brand new. Take some pictures soon. And continue to talk about your kids as much as possible.

Was Mason nervous about you, or just his surroundings? Because given how crazily in my face Sage (the Rodney-cat) has been, Paku seems really really freaked.

Both. He wouldn't go in the kitchen for the longest time. I don't know what he thought was in there. Also he would hiss at us if we came toward him to fast. He hissed at me for a couple weeks if I wasn't careful and slow moving, and he hissed at Lyle for about a month and a half. He is still terrified of anyone who comes to the door, but he is relaxed and playful around us. I think many strays/orphans get like that because they haven't been cuddled and mauled by people in their early, formative months.
