## The second men in the house

Is called Mochi, he stole my heart with his blue eyes and my boyfriend let him in. Now I have two men at home and one doesn't know that we are best friends yet. It's only been 6 weeks (I checked it a few days ago) but it feels like he's here 3 months without making much progress. Gosh, we are impatient for sure! Of course that's because our previous boss, Mojo the lady cat was letting me pet her much faster and actually enjoying it too. Mochi was supposed to be her buddy as we totally expected her to come back home, which didn't happen, sadly.

## He's stuck with us

And no way that I'm going to let him escape after these long weeks of trying to make friends. He's a tough cookie but great entertainment for sure. The way he plays, or let's say kills his toys over and over again, we often laugh continuously when he does. It's so funny seeing him roll on the floor and jump in the sky with a tennis ball in between his paws. I should start filming it..

## He's getting used to us slowly

Like they say here "paso a paso", step by step. Instead of getting spooked as soon as our hand comes near to pet him gently, he now usually accepts it and gives us the pleasure of touching his super soft fur for a few minutes, but sometimes he freezes, which makes us so sad as he should know by now that we are "his hoomans". He sure remembers as soon as any one of us is eating, and then sits next to the person eating, or in the kitchen prepping something, putting on his most adorable face, hoping he gets some of that food. I admit that it's hard to resist so he definitely knows how to get what he wants.

## Black and white photography

I forgot about that option until recently I could not get my phone (huawei p30 pro) to get this little fella on camera without having a blur. I started going through settings and tried monochrome. I love how these came out and will probably use it more often. In the picture above he decided to relax on the couch with me when I was watching tv. A rare moment that I wanted to capture because these are definitely not the petting moments he allows us to have. Taking a picture is fine and he will wink away at us but no touching please! 

While we wait for him to relax a bit more, I will just have to enjoy the small victories we have with him and enjoy his beauty :)
