One Year and a Few Days.....

Sage as a babe--yes he is biting his own foot.
You can just see the orneriness! What was I thinking?

Sage at a year--and oh yeah, you can still see it--the orneriness!

But once and awhile you get to see a glimpse of the noble, mature Sage

I missed a very important date! Sage is a year old and counting! I'm not sure of course exactly how old he is, but I was going to post his one year anniversary when he came in the house. However I'm way late. So don't tell 'em. Last year on August 29th, Sage officially became a member of the family. You can read about it in earlier posts for September of 2006 if you aren't sure who Sage is. Of course back then he didn't have a name and was often called "Bad Weed".

It's been a year fraught with kitten antics, kitten proofing the house, broken knickknacks and much SAGE NO! However we have survived and actually he has turned out to be a pretty decent fellow. He isn't a cuddle in your arms cat, but loves attention on his own terms. He often seems torn about being the aloof cat or the big attention craving softie. He has learned not to bite (much), to be careful about scratching me (mostly) and also how to run really fast when I yell at him. He still, on occasion, harasses Meshach beyond reason, but it's not nearly the constant meanness of yore. He has two teddy bears (one blue & one brown) that he carries around allot and puts on the bed every night. He and Meshach both keep their noses in my business, and its a rare moment when there isn't two tubby cats trailing around after me.

Sage is closing in on 14 lbs and is a very huge fellow. Now that he has me, I mean I have him, broken in, I wouldn't trade him in for nothing. Although there are still those moments....... ;-0

Happy Anniversary/Birthday Sage Grass Cat!!

Oops, excuse me, gotta run--SAGE GRASS! GET OUT OF THERE!
