Patience is a virtue

Everyone, meet Harley.

Harley, meet everyone.

He's 3 years, 2 month old domestic shorthair/mix. He weighs about 6.5kg.

We adopted Harley yesterday from the San Francisco SPCA. He's a sweet and shy boy that is going to take some time to adjust to his new surroundings.

We got him home and put him in a 'safe' spot in the bathroom, but he promptly escaped and got underneath the bed. Getting him out was a pain and a half and it felt like I nearly dislocated my hip, then he managed to get underneath the bed again. When we finally got him out from underneath the bed (the bed is really heavy by the way) we put him in the bathroom.

A certain someone (names shall not be named) thought that my idea to have a chair in front of the door to keep it closed was stupid so he just tied the handles together with a piece of string. /facepalm

Guess what. It didn't work! I woke up expecting to find Harley safely in the bathroom, ready to take him breakfast when lo and behold...the bathroom door was open and he wasn't inside there. So it was another hassle to get him out from underneath the bed.

Hopefully that won't be necessary ever again.

Anyway, feel free to bask in the glory that is his cuteness :)

  1. Why do you need a safe place set up? The cat will most undoubtedly find its own safe place in your house like it obviously did.

    Cute kitty. Lauren's jealous ;-)

  2. Just doing what we were told to do with him. :-) Plus you can't interact with him and get him used to you while he is underneath a bed.
