Loki

I'm wide awakeWide awakeI'm not sleepingOh, no, no, no
If you should ask then maybe they'dTell you what I would sayTrue colors fly in blue and blackBruised silken sky and burning flagColors crash, collide in bloodshot eyes
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oohIf I could, you know I would, if I could, I wouldLet it go
(Bad, U2)
How long have I been listening to this song? Must be 20 years at least.

I'm actually quite happy. Not about my weight, nor my looks, nor my back which aches like hell 25 days a month.
But overall, I am happy. I believe that the new family member has a good deal to do with it, despite the trouble of scooping up all his poop.


Meet Loki, the Brad Pitt of cats)
He is still very scared of being outdoor, but I keep trying and he's starting to be more comfortable as long as he can stay on my shoulder or in my arms. Hopefully we can train him to feel safe in a backpack where he can peek out.

On top, we're having a lovely autumn with long and dry days, pleasant temperature outside. My team is doing great at work and I always have a good time with them. This pretty much carries through work on a daily basis.

So the only thing is, I'm still fat.

If you want the cat comfortable with something, you must train them early.

Hey Shelby,
glad to hear this are good for you!
Loki is a Siberian cat, also known as a Neva Masquerade. He's a good boy and we chose this breed because they do not give allergies.

Such a cute cat!

I didn't realize there were cats that didn't cause allergies. I'm allergic and I think my daughter is too, plus we have two dogs who would probably lose their minds with a cat in the house, so a cat has never seemed like an option, but they are very cool animals.

I'm also glad you guys had a good vacation!

What a gorgeous boy! I take my cats out on a harness/leash, but the baby (well, she's not really a baby any more, she'll be 3 in January) is still easily scared by the noises of the world. Do you know if Loki has trouble with his hearing? I know that white hair/blue eyed cats have a much higher rate of deafness, so maybe that contributes to his fears?

Luckily he's not deaf and he's also getting more confident outside :-)
