Well I never thought that it would come to this, but I may have to consider sending a complaint to the house sitting service of which I am a member. The sign on the front door of my current house sit clearly states that this home has a 4 paw rating. Well it's just not true. And I have photo evidence to prove my case.
I only count 3 paws. Mind you, they are all very furry and soft, so at least that helps to mitigate the problem. In addition to that, Silken, the new furball in residence does enjoy lounging on the couch the same way that the previous (4 pawed) furball, Piper enjoyed doing. So she has scored a few brownie points in that regard. Still, she has plenty of work ahead of her in order to soften the blow of Piper not being around any longer. Day by day, Silken appears to be trying to please the house sitter. She has some big paws to fill, and she's at an obvious disadvantage. But if nothing else, I am extremely patient, so I'll give her as much time as is required for her to fill those former paws.
Here she is below, attempting to let the house sitter know that she is a worthy furball.
Plus, I have to admit that she is rather pretty as well, in spite of the fact that she usually has this "deer in the headlights" look on most occasions. Perhaps she's just trying to emphasize her beautiful eyes.
In any event, it's early days, and the two of us will continue our journey together, while her owner is over in Hawaii, playing on the beach.
living a life of simple acceptance,

Love it Paul. Maybe change the sign to Tripod rating. Yes Piper is a hard act to follow but i'm sure his spirit is givng Silken tips to win over the cat sitter tho 2 year olds seldom listen. That liittle face and soft fur will take you down. So great to see her hanging out with you. Signed her Mom
