Snap Shot Saturday! Guest Post

     Guest Author Girl-Child here with a quick update! Mom's still sequestered with her National Board projects, but most weekends (weather permitting) I've been able to get a few projects done around the homestead. I guess what that means is to expect updates from us again! At least on the weekends :)

This week's Snapshot Saturday is about the new man in my life- Voce

          

          Last October, this cat just showed up on our back porch. He was so badly emaciated he couldn't walk except hunched over and limping. He was extremely skittish but also very talkative- indeed it seemed he wouldn't stop talking! So we dubbed him "Voce" or "voice" in Italian. We put food out for him and during the winter we put a dog bed for him in the bbq/pizza hut. Over time, he became more and more friendly, sitting in our laps and chatting at us. We were hesitant to bring him inside because we had no idea where he came from, if he had any communicable issues, if he would be too aggressive with the cats we already have. 

Berlioz and  Bijoux deciding that homework is irrelevant, kittens come first

This spring, with the onset of a potential puppy, we were able to get Voce to the vet. He received a clean bill of health and weighed in at a hearty 14 lbs. A far cry from the skinny boy on our doorstep! 

Given the green light, we finally brought him inside. 

         Now he is more talkative than ever and we are privy to all his other quirks. (He drools when he's happy, being the most startling of them.) We know he's some kind of Siamese, the bulk and head shape suggest "Apple Headed" and his coloration suggests "seal" but this is all Google-search fed speculation.

 So ends our quick Snapshot Saturday! Come back tomorrow for another, more substantial, update!
