Sunshine here I come!

Ok. I know it's a bit early but I am going back to Hawaii in November! I am goingt o do a pit stop in Arizona to see the family that I used to nanny for, (they are having boy/girl twins in October) and possibly to see my old co-worker and possibly to see an old friend who I haven't seen in 3 years.
Then it's off to Hawaii for a week to visit my sister and her husband. I am also going to be spending the night with my friend Heather while there. I haven't seen her since May and really want to!
I can't wait to go and wait to get some real Vitamin D!

Adventures of a kitten named Zeek

This summer has been a rather nice one on the weather. I have had many outing with friends that include a trip to Wild Waves, Madison Beach, Coulon, Alki, Linkin Park, and 5 mile lake. I love the water and when the weather is right it is just so perfect!
This summer has also been one of AHHHHHHH! No matter what I say I love my little kitty and would not trade him for anything. Except maybe a nice Tabby/Calico belt sometimes!
I swear this cat is not like any other cat. But then I get told that it is just the kitty phase and that he will grow out of it. Good golyl I sure hope so!
This cat LOVES to chew on anything that he is not supposed to. Cords and my couch are his specialty. I have bought probably over $200 worth of replacements cords, cord protectors, duct tape and "spray" that promises to ride him of the habit. Yeah, that stuff doesn't work. He will chew through the duct tape and the cord covers, eat whatever he wants and when I spray him he just looks at me!
Night time is expecially challenging because that is when he gets into the most trouble. He lieks to wait until I am almost alseep then attack something that he knows he shouldn't forcing me to get up, get the spray bottle, try to catch him and spray him only for him to do it again 5 minutes later! During the day when I am not there he doesn't do anything to the things that I have. I think he saves it especially for me when I am home!
He is going to be neutered in a few weeks and from what I have heard that is supposed to calm them down a bit. I sure hope so.
Other times he is so sweet and cuddly and just wants to be held. Just like a little baby. He purrs whenever I talk to him, pet him, hold him or let him sleep on the chest/belly. This is the part that I love.
He is now MUCH bigger than when I first got him. I am guessing that he is 6-7 pounds now. His colors and striped are getting much more defined as his body gets bigger. They are slowly spreading apart due to size and he even has eyeliner that looks like he fits in just perfect on Pill Hill!
All in all this cat is very sweet when he wants to be and just like any other "kid" get into what he is not supposed to!
