Shadow the Cat

As it's reading break around here, our neighbors are gone on a trip and asked us if we'd take care of their cat while they were gone. So we're making daily visits across the hall to visit Shadow the cat.


Helena's funny. When the cat is on the couch, she's interested in being close to him for maybe 30 seconds. Maybe. But when the cat is underneath the couch, she can stay in this position for minutes on end!


She knows what his toys are, so she will bring them over to Shadow to play with. It's really so sweet!


But this toy, one of those that hangs from a door frame to get the cat to jump up and paw at it, well, Helena has decided it's now her toy!
