The Power of the Paw

Hi Efurryone. It's me, Raja. I'm taking MY blog back from the furry twerp. Mommy and I are making progress. I still don't like being picked up, but I'm getting use to being hugged. I'm glad Mommy wants a closer relationship. I've always loved her...

Adjusting to a new human is hard. I was so glad to be rescued from the shelter that I ran around like a tornado for the first two weeks, trying to prove how playful and kittenish I was. Whew. I'm glad I don't have to do that anymore. Then it was like Mommy and I were roommates. We did our own thing, but I got petted a lot so it was okay. I spent a lot of time outdoors. Now I still go out a lot, but I like to come in and sit by Mommy. She wraps her body around me and pets me and I purr. I finally got up the nerve to jump up on the couch by her. I'm slowly edging closer. Maybe soon I'll find the courage to crawl onto her lap....

I also like it when she talks to me. She did a report on Columbus for her job and read me parts of it. He may have a day named after him, but he wasn't a very nice man. He got greedy and tortured the Native tribes in the West Indies.. I don't like people who are mean. What was interesting was the recent DNA research done on his bones. His body was moved many times. Some of his bones are in Spain, while others may be in the Dominican Republic....

That's all for now. I'll try to post more often.
