OT - New kitten

Well, my old male cat Jabba (aka Sir Fuss-a-lot) crossed the Rainbow bridge in Feburary. He was almost 16 years old. His litter-mate, Miss Scarlett, who is still going strong, misses him terribly.

So when someone found a kitten wandering around a parking lot, I took her in. Miss Sarah is 9 weeks old, a calico, a snuggler, and has been well-trained already. Scarlett is *Not* amused ;) In fact, she wants nothing to do with Sarah. When I put them in the same room, with me there to intervene if necessary, Scarlett growls, snarls, and then heads for the highest point, leaving Sarah with full run of the floor. This is going to get interesting as I let Sarah have more and more access to the rest of the house.

Good luck! After nearly 10 years of sharing a household, my Zoe still hates my Elvis. Hiss, spit, and run every time they get near each other. Poor Elvis.

Not having cats, I'll hope your optimism works. With dogs, IME, it generally works out. So sorry to hear about your Jabba. But glad to hear you've taken in a kitten. And seriously, keeping the hopes up for Scarlett & Miss Sarah to find détente (sp?).

I'm seeing Puckster showing some age more these days, as he's coming up on

11 next month, and that jump up onto our rather high 4 poster is sometimes tough. DH taught him a pose where he stands with front legs one up on the bed, and the Left one raised - so as to make it easier for DH to put his arm under for the big lift around chest & bum. But, I'm not picking up that 65# bundle of joy. We're ordering steps for him. To the point - we're starting the puppy breeding search - that first - and soon, I hope.
