Mike took Loki to the vet for the first time today. All 20 stitches got to come out and the vet said the cut is looking very much better. And no longer does he have the scrawny, shaved neck of last week. His fur is growing in again, and he's looking great. Actually, we're convinced that he has grown significantly since we got him. Not sure if this is just familiarity or if he really has grown since last week.
He's also learned how to jump onto our counters now. I'm not sure if I should be proud or cross that he's figured this out. I have, however, noticed an improvement in our tidiness habits, that's certain. The cat is definitely smart. Mike was telling me that Loki even jumped from the island onto his (Mike's) back this afternoon as he was looking for something in the freezer, in an attempt to get into it. Now I would have loved to have seen that!
He went through a crazy biting/hyper phase earlier this week where I felt like my hands were human pin cushions - hurting even the next day. But he seems to have settled down again. Possibly teething or maybe even too much catnip.

letter to paws and purrs
Dear Paws and Purrs,
I thought I'd let you know how Loki's first night with us went.
He has been simply adorable since we got him home. He did NOT want to be in his bathroom - he was out of the carrier in about a second and was all over the bathroom... when we left him alone he started to cry... so we let him out and supervised his exploration the rest of the evening. By the end of the evening he was coming to us and letting us stroke him and pet him and playing with the toys we got for him. He certainly stretched his legs - I hope this won't be too bad for his recovery but he doesn't seem to care. :-) Let me know if you think we should try to restrict the amount of running around he's been doing. (And trust me, he's got springs in his paws)
Anywhoo, we've managed the antibiotics and pain meds just fine, though he doesn't really like it. By the end of the evening he was sitting/laying on my lap/chest/arms/anywhere or the same with my husband, completely pooped out.He had also nibbled at the food we'd put out for him, so that was good. He was insanely curious and nervous of the running water bowl we have for him, but once I dabbled my fingers in the water he seemed to think it was ok and drank from it.
We put him in the bathroom for the night. He only cried for a little bit, until the house fan went on and that seemed to settle him.
My boss called at 5 am (long story - he's in France and was having troubles and forgot it was 5 am) and ended up waking Loki up (so we let him out). He was all ready to play and love us, and tried to jump onto my lap several times while I was on the phone. I crawled back into bed for about twenty minutes before I had to get up, so we left him out and after killing the comforter dead a few times, he settled in and watched us sleep until he went to sleep himself. Oh, and he went several times in his litter box so we think he's feeling quite comfortable already.
I just wanted to tell you again (and I know I'll say this again) - thank you for bringing Loki into our lives. He is adorable and so feisty and curious. He has wriggled his way into our hearts extremely quickly. I have attached a picture I took of him last night (I took about 30!) but only have this one so far.
So all in all, he seems very at home already and relaxed and happy. Purring non-stop.

loki
Meet Loki.
We brought him home from the shelter today after meeting him last week. He's three and a half months old and is just a bundle of energy which is fantastic considering that he is recovering from his neutering surgery and some stitches which had to be put into his neck because his collar from his foster family had dug into his neck badly. We are very excited to have him.
