Jon, having a cat has been much better than I would have imagined and has been tremendously entertaining so far. Our cat is a male and we got him neutered a couple of weeks ago. It took Captain a few days to adapt to wearing a cone. Even after a week he was still top-heavy and struggling not to bump into walls. Our kitten is anything but stoic, more like manic with occassional stretches of laziness.

“…a sure-footed, stoic cat that would sit still like a Buddha…”

This description epitomizes my cat “Smudge.” I adopted him from the veterinary hospital I used to work at. He is a neutered male cat and is approx 15 yrs old (regardless of the sex, get your cat fixed: it mellows them out tremendously).

Congrats on the acquisition of the cat. The Egyptians (one of the most intelligent and interesting cultures to have ever existed) understood the importance of and placed such a huge emphasis on the Cat. Is your cat a male or female? Just remember: cats are much easier to take care of than dogs.

If such a thing exists, I am in the market.

Sounds like you need to get yourself a cat ass-hair brush.

The cat hair hasn’t been too bad. I don’t think this breed sheds very much and we’ve taken him to the groomer a couple of times, so that may have helped. Megan vacuums really often as well and we do have one of those sticky rollers to take hair off clothes. Really, the biggest issue with hair has been that our cat has so much of it and he tends to have cling-on’s.

Good post as usual. How has the cat hair been? Most people seem to invest in a few of those sticky roller things. I chose to just give up.

My allergies are pretty much non-existent. Occassionally, the roof of my mouth will itch, but the symptoms are extremely mild and usually aren’t noticable at all. I’d highly recommend Siberians for anyone who has allergies.

So how are the allergies holding up?
