Carys' playing whiffle ball fetch technique needs some work
She will chase and grab the whiffle ball, pick it up in her teeth, run back towards me and then turn tail, whiffle ball still gripped in her teeth, and drop it in some random spot on the other side of the house. Then she waits for ME to fetch it. Apparently I'm the one being trained.
Well, at least she's fully engaged in playing with the boys AND with me. At night she will climb over the boys to curl up on me, and then when she's had her fill of scritches and kisses, she climbs over me to go back and curl up with the boys. She no longer bolts when I walk past her. Sometimes she looks up at me and I wonder if she's thinking 'Hey! Aren't you going to try to pet me?' And I am getting some slow blinks. Initiated by her. Which is lovely.

She's decided this is a pretty good gig, maybe she'll stick around a while. 
Mikey comes for a visit pretty soon, when his other mom goes for surgery. He'll be here for a week or two, by then he'll start getting cabin fever. It will be really nice to have him here for a visit, though.
I'm glad all those kitties have the family vibe going on, Gryff seems a little distant, I hope he feels comfortable about his place in the group.
