Goblin Update!

He is doing really well! We changed his name to Goblin and he comes when we call him. He has settled in nicely. It isn't often he wants to sit on someone, but he always wants to be around the activity. He follows me from room to room throughout the day and he has his spot in the couch between my husband and I that he occupies each night. He usually sleeps with us at the foot of the bed, but sometimes he likes to mix things up and sleep with my son on the top bunk or snuggle with my daughter while she reads. He also likes to scale the Murphy bed in my office and watch me work!

He and Copernicus have become friends. They sleep near one another and wrestle together several times a day. At first I thought Copernicus was being aggressive towards Goblin, but then I noticed Goblin trying to bait Copernicus into a fight or sneak attacking him as he came around a corner. They seem to genuinely like one another and miss each other after a few hours of separation. Copernicus lives the catio ( the kids call it meow meow meadows) and he spends a lot of time out there. Goblin goes out for a few minutes, then he's ready to come back in. If Copernicus is out too long, Goblin goes looking for him or will wait at the cat door for him.

He is a voracious eater! I swear he is always hungry. Copernicus can't be trusted with food, so they both get a measured amount of food. If Copernicus is distracted, I sneak extra to Goblin, though. He eats a lot, but he's still really skinny.

Anyway, he's doing great. He is much less aloof than when we brought him home and seems content in his new environment. I don't have many pictures of him because he is either sleeping or skeetering about playing and neither make for good photos. I did coax him into sitting up and staying awake for a few minutes, though. Hope you enjoy!
