Maka Le’a is growing quickly — I think he’s nearly doubled in weight in the past couple of weeks. And he’s plainly getting stronger and more confident, even starting to climb our cat trees just a little. He climbed a short way up this tree a few times yesterday, making up perhaps three feet off the ground to the first platform, and falling off partway up on most attempts. It’s a good thing the bottom of the tree is nicely padded! Of course he’s in that stage of kittenhood where he plays at being the mighty hunter with anything that moves (and even a number of things that don’t!). His claws and teeth are gradually getting more effectve — and the rawness of my hands is growing progressivly worse! Another few days and I think he will start drawing blood; another couple of weeks and he’ll be taking pieces of meat from me…
Maka Lea got a whole bag of toys for Christmas, including this little stuffed mouse (blue with red ears — what was the designer drinking?). For some reason, he’s taken to sleeping with this little stuffed mouse, making for a very good photo opportunity…
