A Furry Guest and a Reluctance to Abstinence.

As of Thursday last week I've been looking after a black and white cat. At first, and not surprisingly, he was frightened of me and the new environment, but he has finally warmed up to me by happily sitting on my lap and purring when I stroke him. The only problem I still can't resolve is the fact that he pees everywhere. Not quite everywhere, but a fair amount, on my zabutons and sofa... His owner says that he apparently does it when he's feeling lonely, but he even did it when I was there. My guess is he's trying to own the place by placing his scent everywhere. Hoping he will calm down a bit as the days go on, or at least before I have to give him back to his owner when she comes back from her trip.

The spot he claimed as his own on his 2nd day here.
