This morning, Jazper is much more settled in, and has personally gone to greet everyone who's come into the store. He seems to have taken to his role of Goodwill Ambassador.
He really hit it off well with BobbyJo, the lady who makes our Christmas Wreaths and Cardinal Ornaments.
Since he loves to be held, and to show his affection while being held by kneading my tummy (and various other parts) -- we ordered some Soft Paws this morning online. (www.softpaws.com)
Merlin uses them and recommends them, so we're going to give 'em a try. Since Jazper has 8" steel reinforced claws o'death, I think this is a good option. These claws served him well, I'm sure, when he was an alley cat, but now for the sake of my tender skin, I'm going to see how he adapts to the Soft Paws. (We ordered them in red for Christmas, and grey for all-around wear).
The Soft Paws were cheaper, with a wider range of colors & sizes, than at Dr. Fosters & Smith -- where we ordered the rest of his "care package" yesterday. And we got an e-mail from Dr. Fosters & Smith that his package has already shipped out!
Lee gave me an old, comfy towel to bring in today, so his hidey hole is now lined with plush terry cloth. He's up there right now, napping with a tummy full of stinky goodness and after a thorough brushing!
Well, I need to take advantage of his nap and get some actual work (!) done here at work!
See ya later,
Not The Mama
