Toska

Toska's been with me for a little under a week now.  I've spent a lot of time watching him trying to get to know him nad I can honestly say I really don't know if he's intelligent or thick.  When I first got him he spent time trying to escape (explore) and he worked out if he push the stack of DVDs I turned into a wall he could make a ladder and walk out!  I had to weight them so he couldn't get out.

Yest the following day he couldn't work out about the water.  From watching him I discovered he doesn't like being in water.  Every time he ended up in the water he ran out of it.... yes he ran!  He did this eight times though.  Surely he would have learnt by now.

He was very sociable today.  I got to hold him and stroke the top of his head, he didn't hide like he usually does.  If possible I will have to try and take a picture of him with his head out so you can all see him properly.  He's so adoreable.  He's also worked out if he stands on a little mound I've got him to keep his nails down, he can get pretty level with the exit!  He's trying to use this to get out.  Of course it's too far for him to get out.

He's sometimes a clever little bugger, sometimes he's a daft little bugger.

God love him, because I certainly do!
