Sylvester continues to adjust well to being with us. He jumped up on the bed more than once overnight and I saw him a few times when I was up to use the bathroom. I'm assuming he was upstairs rather than down for the first time for the whole night if not most of it.
He loves being up on the couch with us.
The following is from my journal dated Monday, December 20, 2021:
Shortly before bed I happened upon the first mouse I've ever seen in this house. It came running out of the kitchen as I was approaching and froze a few feet away from me. Sylvester slowly came up from behind it and we all stood there frozen for a minute or so. Finally the mouse bolted and Sylvester chased it behind the couch where and stood guard for quite awhile.
Like I said I've never seen a mouse in the house since we've lived here. Last year we found a hole chewed in the bottom of Athena's bag of food which we were storing in the basement. We also found some mouse droppings around it which prompted us to find a more secure storage solution but we never saw any mice. I love having Sylvester around and this is a timely benefit of having him here. Pictured above is Sylvester's toy mouse which came over with him from John's. My understanding is he had a few other toys but this is the only one he ever played with. It's fun watching him bat it around and it moves quite quickly across the hardwood floors.
