Moxy's New Fun

It’s been almost three months since Moxy came to live with me, first at the Cosy Apartment and now in its new guise as the Cosy Cabin, and he is a fully indoor cat now. He never cries at the window, and rarely looks out of it, though there is little to see from the bedroom. He is coming out to the kitchen all the time now; I hope he will eventually include the sitting room, with its better views of the outside, in his habitat. But in any case, the Mixer has left his outside ways behind, and does not seem to regret it.

The important thing to report now, though, is that he is playing with the string-toy. This is a significant step for him because he was previously frightened of it, and would hide, rather than face it. I made a practice of allowing Valkyrie to play with it in front of Mox, and I saw that he was watching her. Last night, he wrestled with it himself, and seemed to enjoy it.

He and Valkyrie tussle each other periodically, though Moxy does not hold back, which means his larger size is rather too much for the kitten sometimes. I don’t think the Mixer realises this. Nonetheless, Valk keeps coming back for more, and can be rather rough in her turn. Moxy also has a great deal of fun with the fuzzy mice. So with Valkyrie, the fuzzy mice, and now the string-toy, my big fat-head has a variety of ways to find entertainment. I think he may be enjoying his new life.
