Tabitha is getting used to us, and learning how to behave in the house. She likes sleeping with Rabbity and Racoony. She puts up with Nim and his incessant “playing”. She always smells of pine. It’s as if she has been packed in a truck full of Christmas trees, she must hang out in the pine trees when she’s out side, I think she does that to keep away from Nim and Sox.

Nim thinks Sox and he should be friends. Right after I took this picture Sox sauntered off, as if he just couldn’t be bothered. We were surprised he didn’t do some real damage to Nim. He is very muscular and we have no idea what he’s been eating…coyotes maybe! We’re not exactly sure it is Sox, if it is he would be at least 3 years old, which is ancient, for being an outdoor cat here in coyote country. There is another cat even bigger than him that lives with him in the garage/barn. That cat gives me the creeps, they’re related and probably came from one of the last litters of Samwise Gamgee (he turned out to be a she). As for Sox & Nim being friends I don’t think Sox is interested…he is however very interested in Tabitha!
