So, after 48 hours the cats are getting closer to a rapprochement - last night I had Squeeky sleeping at my feet, and Mok sleeping on my head! What a truly bizarre sensation that was - of course, this was after an extended "settling-down" period where we had to keep retrieving him from inside the night table, the recess in the headboard, under the blankets, etc. (Under the blankets is *bad* place for small kitten with very pointy claws, if you know what I mean). But they are getting better - as Peter said, if Mok would just stay still for awhile so Squeeky could get a good sniff of him, she'd probably relax, but the little guy is just in CONSTANT motion, except when he's asleep.
He's a climber - up the couch, up the bed, up the (bare) legs [ouch!], up the chair to the desk - he walked across my keyboard last night while I was fishing in WoW - thank heavens it was fishing and not a battle of some kind! He likes the images on the computer screen, and TV - if he wasn't such a hyper little monster I'd worry about him becoming a couch-potato kitty.
The upside of this all, other than the utter adorableness of things, is that it's forcing us to keep a much tidier house. We can't leave ANYTHING out that he could get into, need to be sure and keep closets and cupboards closed, no stuff on the floor, etc. Who knew that having a kitten was good for your housekeeping skills?
Weekend coming up - huzzah! Big yarn trip to Perth this Sunday, and I think tomorrow I will try and get Dad's sweater fixed (assuming I can keep Mok from eating the yarn, of course). I can't believe May is over already, my God this year is flying by!

Have fun in Perth! Unfortunately, I won't be going after all. No yarn fondling for me today :-(
