Lucky does not seem to be interested in toys; I've tried dozens of different ones with no success. Even the sure-fire feather-and-bell on a stick didn't work -- he simply grabbed it and wouldn't let go. Other than food, the only thing that gets his attention is getting rubbed on his head, cheeks, and chin.mhull wrote:Hmmm. Perhaps Lucky needs a new ball of string.
I think that most of the weight gain has occurred since his long time companion Smokey was euthanized seven months ago. I've known other cats that have had personality changes after losing a long time pal and I doubt if much can be done. Perhaps when the weather improves I'll train Lucky for collar and leash and take him outside for walks.

Regarding GM draws, I recall doing book compilation and saw the exact same game occurring four times, with Karpov as one of the players each time. In each game, was the draw agreement made before the game was even started? Either way, it certainly doesn't look good.
