More of MacGyver (Halloween style)

Paisy welcoming a new day. She often sits on the castle perch and watches the sun come up, and then watches all of the kids walk to school.


"Mom, why am I in this bucket again?"


"What's this pumpkin in the picture for?"


"Mom, I don't want to be in the bucket."


"I really got to get myself out of this bucket."


"OK I'm outta here."


"Mom I'm out. What are you gonna do about it?"


"OK. Do you wanna see what I can do? I'll do a trick for you."


"Good, I'm done with that trick."


"I just adore paparazzi. More! More!"


I can't believe MacGyver is 7.5 months old. Wow! Where does time go. He used to be just a small little pipsqueek and now... Now he weighs about 9lbs and is about 30inches long from head to tail. His personality is very different from Sylvesters and Paisys. He's his own pussycat. I often say for him, "I'm my own pussycat, and I'll do what I wanna do." Said with heavy attitude and spunk. He's very energetic and plays all of the time. I don't even think some days that he gets enough sleep. He's loving when he wants to be. He has his little routines and cat schedules. He scratches on the cardboard 99% of the time with little 'snackies' rewards of course. He loves to watch the fish in the fishtank. Chris occasionally calls him 'Buddy', 'Mcdoogle', or 'Mcdoodle'. I usally call him 'Tator Tot' or 'Red Fox'. He is really long and weighs a lot for being 7.5 months. He's definitely taking after his daddy (Thomas). Paisy and MacGyver play together and they both love it. Their favorite game is chase through the house and up and down the stairs. He gives her kitty kisses on the head by licking her, and she either likes it or just tolerates it. But I think it's precious. He absolutely worships Paisy. He follows her around. Wherever she is, he is. Just like two peas in a pod. He loves going out on his 'playground' but whenever our neighbors come or go, in uniform, he sprints for the pony fence and jumps it. I wonder if he thinks it's Chris. He loves to lay in the sunshine and sprawls right out to enjoy the rays. He eats continuously. Chris thinks he'll go a lot bigger. Sylvester was about 12lbs full grown, and so we're hoping for MacGyver to take the record. Paisy is only 10lbs. She's petite. He knows his name and comes when called (only if it's convenient for him) with the shake of my finger. He's very social and likes to hang around with us. We get lots of compliments on his coloring. He is not a purebred marble just a regular pussycat with two really nice looking parents. He has the softest coat I have ever felt. I don't know if baths often or his coat is just naturally minky, but he feels just like cashmere.

And for anyone wondering I did try Paisy in the bucket, and she just wasn't having it. I did try.
