Teifi

Neighbour's Bell Cat Nr2 checks balcony very carefully before jumping down.

The coast is clear. The terror tail bitting kid is no where to be seen. It seems safe to cross.

Then running all the way from the bedroom thru the hallway into the living room to thee balcony there he is

Hiss... hisssssssss.... hiiiiisssss... doesn't deter Teifi

Any tail passing thru his balcony is to be bitten (Big Cat excluded)

Bell Cat Nr 2 turns around and chooses a different route for the afternoon walk.

Sometimes she's able to make across the balcony with Teifi in pursuit of her tail.

Teifi also has artistic inclinations and he loves to improve the design of several objects.

He carefully studies it

Then he starts working on it

diligently improving its design

I hate having to do this... the abatjour again... He had a little scratch but he starts scratching and scratching and scratching and it gets bigger, doesn't get better and i get worried of an infection....

He's OK, he can eat with it, still plays i'm giving him lots of extra rubbing but it's obvious it's unconfortable and he much prefers life without it.

You can see it from his eyes that he is really sad!

At the moment he's a bit happier. He is chasing Big Cat's tail in spite of the Abat Jour.

I hope i can take that off in 48 hours though.

Could he have fleas?

Or if you use those anti-flea drops, then maybe he's allergic to them?

Nope, it's not the fleas, i use the drops. It's 2 things.

He loves getting under stuff and he's getting bigger and sometimes he scratches himself on the way out.

The other is his habit of insisting in bitting other cats' tails and often they put their nails out.

Then he keeps sctatching and taking out the crust that forms making it worse. Cats saliva has something that heals that kind of thing quite fast but he can't reach it with its tongue.

The other thing is i waited too long too.

It's getting better though the crust is about to fall on its own and when that happens i can remove the abatjour.

He is in good spirits in spite the abatjour.

He decorated the hallway last night again

This morning he already worked on hallway wallpaper*

And as i stand near the refrigerator he lifts its tail and trys to get my attention. He already has his breakfast but he knows i bought ham this morning.

_______________________________
*I think i have mentioned before that wallpaper has 35 years of use plus the Late previous resident, Cheetah, helped by the late previous visitor "Fera" did a wonderful job enhancing it with their claws. And of course soon after Teifi arrived Big Cat showed him how to work on it and then we decided to wait till Teifi 1.5 years before we replace it. Actually he's being quite helpful in removing it, it will be a lot less work for us.

In an old photo taken during one of my vacations (late 80s) that's Cheetah the cat that used to live here and that started the job on the hallway wallpaper

And that's Fera the upstairs cat, then, that used to visit frequently just like Big Cat does now, and that coincidentally also loved the bedroom.

Teifi having his siesta. I checked on the scratches. The one in the back of the neck is practically healed, and the one on the side of his face is half of it healed, and the rest looks good.

Now if i can find one of the batteries of the TV remote control that seems to have misteriously vanished over night....

As i had to move halg the furniture to locate the battery that had misteriously vanished from the remote control i decided as well to clean the living room.

Teifi loves cleaning. He sits appreciating the process

Quite often he participates

And when its finished if it's clean enough he spreads himself on the floor showing his approval (and quite often decorating it with new little pieces of fur)

Ow... the battery was found under one of the sofas and several missing items were also located under different pieces of furniture.
