Shio @ 7 months

Shio turned 7 months old yesterday!

The single major change that we've seen in Shio is his change in willingness to cuddle with us. He used to struggle and jump out of our arms but lately, he's stays in our arms... that is until he finds an opportunity to escape!

Lately, he's been fascinated with teething on his plastic crate. I'm sure that when we bring him to the airport in his crate they will think that we have a rabid dog on our hands.

Shio's bad habit of teething on our floor continues.  :(

Shio vs. Floor

As part of the aftermath of "Freedom for Shio," we have noticed he has picked up the habit of chewing on the floor -- there are now markings of his teeth on the bamboo floor of our apartment all over... In order to prevent this from happening further during the day when he is in the crate, we have redesigned his crate:

Hopefully, Shio will no longer be able to pull the cloth from under him to expose the floor for further redecoration...

(Needless to say, Ting is pretty pissed about this new hobby of Shio's...)
