Still Life

Ella has been feeling more confident these days and is starting to explore more.

“OMG, all she does is post pictures of her cat these days. Her blog sucks now!”

Ella was a fearful, floor dwelling cat when she came to live with me. Other than the aggressive peeing she was doing to exert dominance, for the most part, she lurked around the apartment in a half-squat/half walk stance that showed just how afraid she was. Seeing her perched on the back of the couch is showing me that I’m making some progress with her behaviour modification. Safe Space for Cats is a big part of the change in her behaviour, too.

    FWIW, I actually enjoy seeing the kitty pictures, and am glad that you’re experiencing some progress with miss Ella.

      Heh. Thanks. I don’t have much to write on the bike front these days because I’m disappointed to discover that I’m not riding the road bike as much as I should, primarily because I think it’s the wrong bike for me. But maybe once the weather changes, I’ll feel more confident.

      It really could have to do w/the weather, Cecily. I don’t ride the Surly when the weather is icy for fear of falling. Of course, there is the possibility that it isn’t the right bike. Goodness knows I’ve had my share of trying and selling because it just wasn’t right. You’ll figure it out, I have no doubt.

    I’m not mad about Ella pictures.

    Very pretty.  She looks like my (late) pretty Mr. Kitty.  Sniff.
