Okay, trying not to be a "cat lady" but we all know I love kitties and I'm so happy that Signore moved in with me. He's been here 2 weeks and is definitely settling in. No, he doesn't like being home alone for 12+ hours and he sure let's me know that when I walk in the door, but he's such a goof ball and can always be appeased with some food.
Of course he is also a little demon at times. He's made it his goal in life to destroy the "spider plant" on the patio. Luckily those plants are hardy & super easy to find if I need to replace it in 3 years time. He and my teddy bear are still not friends so I gave him another stuff animal. I'm not sure if you've seen the monkey blog or not (from the same lady who wrote the one about the metal chicken) but I think Signore did. I mean, he's determined to kill the thing!
Over all he's a trooper and I'm trying my hardest not to baby him. He's pretty good when it comes to noise as our apartment is never very quiet between scooters, voices, and the bells. Yes, the fireworks did cause him to jump and also today's storm had him going crazy. Some reason he wanted out in the rain too. I guess just so he could continue to meow? The wind making the patio roof shake finally sent him dashing to the safety of the kitchen but he still wasn't 100% sure he wanted to be inside, even if I told him he did.
We've also discovered what kind of fun tile floors can be when I spin him around and am easily able to pull him out from under my bed. He loves it because his toys go flying. Yep. He loves to run. He's also a pro at waking me up when he hears my alarm going off in the morning. Hmmm. Alarm going off in the morning. Yeah, I probably should take his toy away from him so I can try to get to sleep before the wind and thunder start back up.
I am still taking name suggestions...there is a slight chance that I'm going TDY next week and if I'm leaving him with one of his adoring fans he needs to have a name. Nico right now is the front runner with the nickname of BP (clearly pronounce Beep).
Life in Naples, Italy is anything but boring. No matter how long I've lived here and think I understand the culture, things still come as a shock! Didn't someone once say that when the crazy things seem normal it's time to move on? Guess I'm not moving on just yet! Until that day- I'm going to keep using my amazing 3 year opportunity to explore, shop, and eat until I run out of places to see, things become normal, or most likely, my 3 years are up.
