Elliot’s Episodes #5
Happy February to All My Dear Sponsors and Tabby’s Place Fans,
It is time for another exciting episode. And I do have a lot to tell you!
First, let me apologize for the lateness of this first picture, but I just had to share my Christmas card with you. I was so happy when I got it and the staff here read it to me to let me know how loved I am. Then, something else happened. I got a whole mess of Valentines. I was enamored of all the hearts and ribbons and wishes of love from everyone. I am one lucky kitty.
I have been spending my time playing with my green coil and some of the other toys in Suite B. I love my coil. And I spend a lot of hours batting it around and carrying it in my mouth. Then, when I am tired, I just curl up in one of the cubes with my suitemates and chill for a bit.
But (isn’t there always a BUT!!!), some of the volunteers and staff have noticed that I am not always a good boy. They think it is because I am bored. Maybe it is because I spent a lot of time in the kitten room disciplining the little gremlins. So I may be in “bossy” mode. They saw me having some “batting” issues with Merriweather, Ralph, and Smores.
I love my suitemates, but sometimes they just want to sleep all day when I am ready to play. And just the other day, someone saw me climb one of the cubes, circle Ralph, and then smack him with my paw. I was only trying to wake him up so we could do zoomies around Suite B. But Ralph had no interest in me and just went back to sleep. I guess I need more practice in reading and responding to all the feline social cues. But that is why I am in with the big guys now and not the little ones anymore. I will learn the ropes and try to be a better big boy.
Healthwise, I am just fine. I am safe and warm here inside of Tabby’s Place while the cold weather and snow rage outside. We had some very cold days and nights here, but I just snuggled in the cubes with the warm blankies and soft beds. And I am still not ready for that dental procedure yet.
So, dear sponsors, I know the weather is not good these days, but it will get better. If you can come to Tabby’s Place, I hope you will visit me in Suite B and play with me for a while. I love to play, as you can see in my video. And the staff at Tabby’s Place gives me a lot of toys and a lot of love. Still, I would like to meet my sponsors and show you my skills. Maybe one of you will overlook my special needs and adopt me into a furever home.
Until next month, everyone please be safe, well, and warm. And Belated Happy Valentine’s Day! I know you are all my Valentines, as I am yours.
Love to all,
Elliot
