Jacob at Christmas

Gary,

My apologies for not replying sooner! Things have
been somewhat hectic. Actually, me and Jacob are
writing to you all the way from Puerto Rico! We
are here visiting the family for the Holidays :) They
all have fallen head over heels over him. He received
tons of presents today under the tree! A mouse, treats,
a feather toy, a scratching post...Santa went
all out :P He was an amazing sport on the trip.
He was with me the entire time on the carrier and
he was so quiet during the plane ride. He actually was
quite the sensation, I took him out to pass through
security and a person actually took a picture of him!
and on the plane as well. No joke! He felt like the
little celebrity haha.

Two weeks ago we went to our first Vet visit.
He got his shots up to date and finally got neutered.
The Vet said he is a beautiful
kitten, very happy and that he is going to be huge :)
He is about to turn 7 months and is a little over 8 pounds.
He is already the size of a average size
cat. From the surgery, he recovered wonderfully.
He loves to sing and chirp and play with water. He can
spend hours by the kitchen sink looking down the drain
haha. Remember I was worried about him not learning
his name? Well he knows it! Every time I call him he
chirps and comes over. He sleeps next to me every
night and doesn't get off the bed until I wake up.
Oh but when it's play time, he is wild! I think he is
the mischievous one of the bunch. He runs around the
house in circles, I say he is training to be a circus
act haha Jacob is such a joy to me :) He is so friendly,
loves watching television and sits on the
counter while I cook. He is my little chef.
His tail has fluffed up beautifully and he is sooooo soft.
He doesn't like to get his belly rubbed which drives me
crazy 'cause he is always laying around and it looks so
soft and I wanna just pet him forever, but he doesn't
let me. He prefers to sit next to me and follow
me like a shadow.

Well, here are a few pictures of how he is doing. They
might be a little blurry since I took them with my phone,
but I'll try to take some more with an actual camera
and send them over.

Happy Holidays and all the best on New
Years!

Kharla and Jacob
