Where’s Loki? Taken yesterday morning, bless him…
But is it any wonder I call him Loki Longshanks?
Perhaps piano lessons?

This gorgeous darling boy has certainly been getting a lot of extra attention these days. First Thomas the cat whisperer worked his magic with Azar the other day, getting him to take some asparagus from both himself and Jessica. Then yesterday tried feeding him without me standing beside her – and success! A bit later on Azar got comfy on my footstool and I started giving him a nice snibble and asked Jessica if she wanted to have a go. And to my amazement Azar let her! As my iPhone was handy I grabbed it and filmed her snibbling away and Azar loving it. I’m telling ya, I was so thrilled that there was now a third person in the world who Azar has allowed to touch him.
I was also very disappointed this morning to discover that the video wasn’t on properly and I only actually filmed about three seconds of Azar back over on the sofa with Nog. Damn! Such a momentous occasion and I didn’t even get a photo of it. Well, next time. Meanwhile, check out how Azar is chowing down with reckless abandon and without fear…

This is sooooo amazing! Jessica’s “media naranja” Thomas is here visiting and, after being here all of five minutes, he decided to try feeding Azar some asparagus … and it worked! Look at that! I’m telling you, people have lived with me for years and haven’t got anywhere near Azar. Though it must be said that Jessica got him to sit on the sofa end table near her last week. But he wouldn’t take any asparagus from her until Thomas came along and started speaking to Azar in gentle French until he suddenly jumped up on the little bookcase to have a snack. A bit later Jessica tried the same trick, speaking to Azar in French, and up he came again!
People used to ask me if it made me feel extra special that Azar would only let me touch him, and it really didn’t. It actually made me feel a bit sad because, unlike Sunny and Loki, Azar couldn’t get extra love from others. But now it looks like he’s finally opening up. Thanks to the cat whisperer!

Extra surprising as it was apparently “missent to India” from the UK before finally arriving in Sevilla – how the UK postal service screwed that one up is a mystery. Anyhow, I picked the package up yesterday about three weeks after it was sent, tore it open straight away and was delighted to find these charming and funny Binky the Space Cat books by Ashley Spires. So fun!
Thank you Steve & Sara (and Murphy & Foley)!
