we're seeing double...and using the litter box :)

harley found another cat living in the apartment. actually, it was his reflection in the curio cabinet mirror, but i didn't think much of it until i noticed he was slinking *around* to the back of the curio, which is the kitchen, looking very much like a detective trying to flush out a suspect that was hiding nearby. my solution? cover up the offending mirror and put his mind at ease. i told him i had banished the other cat, telling him this was harley's home and he'd have to scram.

seems to have done the trick because since then, harley has been on every piece of furniture, including across my lap top (see more photos in the links of interest section).

he was alone for the first four hours when i left for the dentists and the grocery store. when i came back, he was crying for me and came right out from under the bed when i got down on the floor. he hasn't gone into hiding again since. :)

harley says, "cdxfgtttttt." (he typed that while walking across the keys lol oh yes, and a lamp *almost* found its way to the floor and my nose took a hard hit when he head butted us both. he's a strong guy!

also, harley found and christened his litter box. whew! huge relief here. am watching that he's drinking although he hasn't shown much interest in his food. i'll check it tomorrow morning before work and see if he snuck some down during the night.

lots of purrs, head butts, paw kneading and looks of contentment going on. this is a good end to just over 24 hours of us hanging out.

i think i might have a sleeping partner in bed tonight and his name is harley bug :)
