A reader asks: How is life with your grandparents?
Dear Javier,
How is living with your grandparents working out for you? Are you enjoying the quality time you’ve been spending with them? Do you miss your parents or is being long distance from your overbearing parents a big relief? What’s the best thing that’s happened to you in the east bay? What advice do you have for other cats living with grandparents?

Dear M.O.M.-
Thanks for your interest in my well-being. Living with my grandparents has certainly been different. For one thing, I have a new arch-nemesis named Kai, which has allowed me to forge closer ties with Coles (see the photo above). I enjoy the quality time here because “grandpa” is retired and gets to hang out with us all the time, and “grandma” comes home and lets me outside the minute she gets home. The best part about that is that Grandma gives me treats as a reward for coming in when she calls. I always go outside when she opens the door, because I know I’ll get fed just for walking back in the door! It doesn’t get much better than that. Somehow, I’ve managed to keep my trim figure but Coles appears to be packing on the pounds- he can’t get enough Fancy Feast.
Sometimes I miss my “parents” but it’s a nice change of pace living in the East Bay. We actually have heating here, so my paws don’t go numb while I’m sleeping any more the way they did in our unheated apartment in San Francisco. Also, I don’t have to pose for as many degrading photos.
For other cats in this situation, my advice is to milk it for all it’s worth!
Yours truly,
Javier

Good to hear an update, I was worried about if Javier was javing a good time on his vacation.
