Thor the kitten is exploring his nap spot possibilities, which in my experience is very cat-like behavior. He has been branching out as well, napping in different places, and ranging farther from his people. His latest spot is in the snake cabinet cubby. We converted an old movable kitchen island to a snake habitat stand, and the kitten likes the cubby because he can look out over the living room from the second story.

With a very cat-like attitude, Thor the kitten does like to inhabit baskets of all shapes and sizes.

Serendipitously, I put a project bag on top of my knitting basket before we let Thor come downstairs, so getting on top of the fabric is no big deal and he is blissfully unaware of the glorious balls of yarn beneath him.

By the way, those pictures were taken a week apart, and I can see the growth just in his face.

I found some old hexbot cat toys in my cupboard. Izzy and Sophie didn’t care for them when we bought them years ago, but I thought I would give them a whorl with the kitten.

Success. He loves the toys! At the first session he followed the hexbot around the house for almost an hour. He even shared play time with Missy the dog.

I am amazed how fast he is growing. My eldest went to camp for a couple days and commented on the change when she came back home.
