I am constantly amazed that this big white cat appeared out of nowhere and has become such a central part of our lives.
I believe I mentioned before that
new_man bought Albert a heated cat bed in stylish leopard print. Albert still has no interest. I put one of
new_man's shirts on it to make it smell more inviting. Nope.
Albert's favoritest toy in the whole world (right now) is an orange felt ball. It always vanishes and then Albert cries for it and one of the creatures with thumbs has to retrieve it from under the tv cabinet. Last night
new_man attached wide black elastic behind the legs of the cabinet. Between the darkness under the cabinet and the black carpet it's completely invisible. At best it will bounce the ball back so Albert can keep playing without human intervention. At worst, it will just keep the ball from rolling under. Win either way.
I backed a Kickstarter campaign for
Music for Cats and my first reward came in the other day -- four bonus songs. I won't say that Albert loves them, but he certainly responds. It's clear that he's actually listening in a way he never does when I'm playing my music. I'll be interested to see what happens when he hears the full album.
