Mr Baxter Update.

We have had Mr Baxter now for about two months now and we are falling even more in love with him every day. He is a ball of fun, but also a lot of work. He has finally been declawed, de-manned (that is what I call it because I can never remember if its spay or neuter) and micro-chipped. He has also doubled his initial weight. I still love that he follows me around and has to be 'helping' me do everything. He is my little shadow and I love it. Everyday Baxter is also becoming more cuddly. He greats us at the door when we get home and loves a good post work cuddle session.

He tries to drink out of glasses but his head is too fat and his face too flat to be successful. He got my nieces plastic up stuck on his face the other day and spilt the little bit of water all over the table, he then proceeded to lick it up off the table very proud of himself. 

He loves to run into the fridge. If it is open he will run from the other side of the room if required to attempt to get inside. If he is successful he then heads straight for the back and makes himself comfortable. Sometimes he holds onto things as you try and pull him out to make it more of a challenge. We have tried to close the door on him to deter the activity, but it honestly does not appear to bother him in the slightest. He loves the fridge. 

This is a very common relaxed position. Such a funny guy. 

While I get ready for work in the morning I run the tap just a little so Baxter can play in the water. He loves the water and it allows me to get ready without him attacking the cords and such. If the water is not running he has started to love just curling up in the sink. That is where he waits until I am out of the shower before coming and licking the water from my toes. He is so weird. 

I now know that I need to wash the bowl before every use. Everything and anything that is his size is fair game to be a new bed. He has however never actually used the cat bed we bought him. 

The end table is one of his favourite relaxation places. When he gets a little bigger I think we will need to move the breakables.

He loves all company. Most likely the attention they give him. We think my niece is his best friend. He always follows her around and sort of lets her attack him. She is the tough love kind of kid and 'Baxer' usually willingly comes back for more.
