Totoro the acrobat's final plunge

Finally Totoro the acrobat took the plunge. He peeked into the bin, he circled it, he growled menacingly in his low throaty voice. He shook his cute behind in anticipation and... hopped into the bin. All four paws- long enough to try to bury Akira's little present. He dug some sand and squatted, his paws raised on tiptoe and then it happened. In one minute he had done the deed without perching precariously on the rim of the box.

The funny thing was he did not stay long enough to bury his presents; only to sniff at it quickly and with a flying leap, he was out of the sandbox. I am resigned to the idea that he may be one of those cats who does not poop and pee in the same place. But that's okie.

He is chatty, happy with his toys, his eyes are bright and his voice strong. He gets a little carried away when playing and has yet to learn to share playing time with the rascals. However, Akira does not hiss at him so much. She has also tried to join in the games again and has resumed her previous habits and taken over her previous roosts. Bujang and him had sniffed at each other once today and Toro had spent some time watching Bujang sleep, laying down beside him.

All in all I think everyone is getting used to each other's presence and are no longer so wary of each other. I think the occasional spat or fight is inevitable and I am so thankful that the introductions are so painless for animals and people. Thank god for that. :))
