Little Stash is doing so well now, and is growing to be a beautiful little boy! His tail has healed completely and is indeed part of his adorable personality. He is like the class clown in our house. When the other cats are trying to act regal, Stash is the one who does something wild to wake everyone up. He likes to hide around corners waiting for one of his buddies to come into pouncing range. The hallway is the kitty racetrack, with Stash and one or more of the other cats chasing one another back and forth at breakneck speed. It is so fun to watch.

Stash is also one of the absolute cuddliest kitties I have ever had. He loves to climb down from the back of the sofa and drape himself around my neck like a collar, which makes stitching or watching TV rather difficult at times. And his purr can be heard throughout the room, even over the TV sound. When I get up, he follows me anywhere I go in the house. He tried to follow me out to the garage once, and it took me 20 minutes to get him to come back to me; there was so many places for him to explore and climb on, and he was having too much fun.

So, thank you SO very much to those who donated for Stash's care. He is a completely wonderful little spirit and totally worth the cost and effort to save him.
