Since he arrived, Raven has made friends with the rest of our furry tribe (although Mezzaluna still keeps a watchful eye on him in case he decides to pounce!) . He loves to chase all of his buddies (that includes Rich and me) and to be chased in return.. He hops up on the counter, now, for most meals (but still loves to be picked up, nuzzled, and "invited" to eat with a snuggle and a head rub). He's gained nearly three and a half pounds since he came to live with us — he's even acquired a cute little tummy pad :-)
His ruff has grown back in (it had gotten matted when he was homeless and most of it combed out after he was rescued). Now it's grown back and its getting to be very nice. He's also got the cutest little fuzzytufts behind both ears and funny little grey tufts between his toes! I believe that Raven is convinced he's a Maine Coon too! (After all, everyone else is).
Raven still loves tummy rubs and nibbling on hooman toes, the game of "gopher-under-the-blankets" and a nice snuggle in the evening (the evening, the morning, the afternoon...). He's presently asleep in a small mushy lump on the floor of my office as I type.
This formerly homeless kitty has sure landed on all four of his big furry feet.
