Despite Tom's size and strength, he has a timid, perhaps shy or a "prove you are friendly" aspect. He is larger than average weighing 10.5 pounds with long forelegs and paws, and a long ringed tail, which moves and curls constantly, except when he is in deep sleep. His paws are big and white with pink pads, and he loves to flex them when on my lap. Yes, it's catlike to do so. But when I yell, "Ouch" he is more careful. He often lays with his forelegs spread forth in the position of the sphinx of Eguptl; and when he gets up from a nap he stretches his hind legs like a ballet dancer. His timidity,however, is more for men tha;n for women. The women of my family, he favors more by letting them pick him up and pet him. In times of holiday gatherings he hides under the bed.
He is prescient and comes on the scene when I sit down to work at the computer, where he is now, so thies comments complete today's blog, says Barb.
