Yes, it was really great Rosie, and the sketch captures him so well! I can't wait for my order to arrive...and then next month hopefully will order more 
biggrin2.
I had to share this latest story of Yofi. This one, however, differs from the usual Yofi 'mayhem-inisms'. Instead, he quite surprised me last evening.
Arriving home from work last night, it seemed to be one thing after another. First, I think the cold weather was getting to me a bit, as I was in a rather down mood. So I walked onto my front doorstep to fetch the mail from my mailbox, hoping I'd feel better once inside the house. But the lid for the box had blown off in the wind, and as a result my mail was a soggy, soppy, wilted mess. So I carried it inside and put it down, walked into the kitchen and was greeted by another sorry sight. My cat, Tasha, has been dealing with chronic diarrhea for some time now. She was on some meds from the vet, which helped somewhat, and she'd been tested (and cleared) for any major diseases that might be causing it. She'd been doing good for the past while, but...last night I walked in to find reminders of her condition (*puddin' pops*) aaaalllllll over the floor. And mixed amongst this mess were crumbs - everywhere - of rice crackers. Kaya (aka, The Dog) had managed to somehow stretch herself up toward the back of the countertop and reach my bag of rice crackers. Well, that bag is no more...she ate everything. Not only did she eat all of them, but she also took a crack at a bag of ground coffee that had been sitting on the counter as well. Yep...ground coffee strewn everywhere. So I grabbed some paper towel and cleaner to try and put a dent in the mess - and hopefully get the house smelling a little bit nicer. :?First though, I decided to go and let the rabbits out. I walked into the bunnies' room, to be greeted by two innocent faces...and a totally trashed cage. Either the two of them had decided to get down and partay, or...Yofi was bored. (I'm voting for the latter.) So that was added to my list.
Let's just say that by the time I had finished cleaning up after everyone, and then feeding the crew, I was tired and thoroughly discouraged. So I flopped onto the sofa and just sat there, feeling sorry for myself. Yofi came tumbling into the room a few moments later. He saw me and leapt onto the sofa, then began climbing all over me. This is something he normally does, but also normally, he will only stay for a few seconds...then it's off to get into trouble somewhere. But this time he wouldn't leave. He was up on my chest, poking me in the face with his nose, up and down, all over me. I started scratching his face and stroking his ears and the boy nestled down next to me, and stayed there for at least 15 minutes, until I had to get up. I thought his behaviour a bit odd, but didn't really take too much notice...until he did it again, about half an hour later. And then again. And again. For most of the evening he was up on the sofa, checking me out, then settling in to schnooze beside me - with interruptions every so often when he'd decide he just had to get down and fling himself around the room for a bit, or check on Anna...then he'd come back.
You know, I've had animals in the past who could sense when I was feeling upset over something and would come and sit with me...but usually it would be my dog or cat. I was quite surprised that this came from Yofi, Mr. "Can't sit still, can't sit still, CAN'T SIT STILL!!"
LOL...I get such a kick out of him sometimes...
