My latest addition...no, not edition.

My newest addition to the Scriptorium is an eight year-old rescue cat named Jade or "JJ" as I nicknamed her.  Her former 'person' had passed away and she was placed in a local shelter in September.  I'd put her name and several others on my favorites list and she was the only one left when my sister Deb went over to look at those on the list.  She fell in love with Jade and brought her home to me.  That was three weeks ago and since then, we have learned about each other and become friends.  Even though she is eight, there is still plenty of kitty in her, so playtime is always something special  Today we are building a cardboard fort!!  (Well, boxes stacked on top of each other really.)

Here are a few photos of Miss Jade.





She knows who she is and what she wants - and that's usually to climb on something or fly through the air onto her chair so it rocks.  She was drinking tea from my mug but I had to put a stop to that because she would get sick from it.  Now she is exploring cabinets and tends to climb inside to see what's there.

Jade is a very pretty light gray tabby with green eyes, hence the name Jade.  Her before person trained her well, because she will sit when told to, shake hands when "encouraged" and knows the sound of a treat bag being shaken.  She does not, however, enjoy my being on the computer at length, because that cuts into her play time.  But we'll work on that.  And she loves to snuggle in my arm and be a better door than a window when I want to watch television.  She does, however, love to watch the cat segments on America's Funniest Videos.  Maybe I should get her a kitty video?  Perhaps her former person had one just for her to watch, I don't know.

Jade does like "Last of the Summer Wine" tv shows, though.  I think she likes Compo best. So as the time goes along, I'll find out more about her and she about me.  She is great fun to have here and my new little love.

Three new books are almost finished but I am behind by three months due to moving.  My time has been very limited for work, but that will all change once I'm finished unpacking.  From 220 cartons, down to about 15 now.

That's it from the Scriptorium for now.....stay tuned for the new books when they are published.
