Ram is maturing nicely. He's growing at the same rate (roughly 4 lbs/month) and now weighs in at a hefty 12-13 pounds. This means that he officially outweighs the cat.
Also, as of yesterday, he can jump onto the couch on his own. He did it once, became very confused, and then immediately jumped off. He hasn't done it again yet, but he'll soon piece that together. Of course, the couch is the Cat's holy ground, so he probably won't be allowed up without supervision. He is a bit of a fuck like that...always requiring supervision and whatnot. That said, he hasn't
really destroyed anything yet. Sure, the tip of a shoelace here and there, but nothing torn the fuck up. I'm sure he's biding his time.
He pissed on the bed the other day. Not a little bit, either. Quite a bit. We were playing the Mario ghost game...where, when I walk away from him, he runs at me, and then he freezes when I turn around and runs when I walk toward him. This riled the fuck out of him. To end the game, I picked him up and threw him onto the bed. I slowly approached him, growling. His response was to freeze (normal behavior for the ghost game) and then, realizing he was kind of trapped (it takes him a few seconds to work up the courage to jump off the bed), he panicked and pissed. I've forgiven him for this and have learned that he takes the ghost game more seriously than I do.
