Hi Guys, Well, things seem a bit better of late with the two new cat babies. Bunnie (the Bodacious Miss B Chunkybutt Cat) has settled right in. She has only had one loud hissing match with Cassie (Baby Cat) who is the true ruler of the domain -- LOL! Bunnie runs around as if she's a kitten even though she is about three and had kittens in March 2008! She loves all of the toys and having two sets of stairs to run up and down. It looks as if she has already lost a bit of weight, too! She has found the bar stools that I keep next to the kitchen windows that look out onto the backyard and you can find her asleep on one of them whenever I am in the Family Room watching the telly and doing my needlework. She also likes to come into the Family Room and sit on the hearth, especially in the evening when it's cold out and I have a nice fire blazing. The best thing is that I caught her and IvyJane (The Stealth Garbanzo Brain Kitty) playing together the other day!!! Ivy Jane is settling back down after last weekends trauma of having me actually lay hands on her when she felt trapped under my small storage bench. She's out and about and I see her several times a day but make sure I don't talk to her or make eye contact. She was actually here in the computer room with me one afternoon playing with one of the catnip toys I have left throughout the house!!!! Right here in the very same room. I made sure that I watched her out of the corner of my eye and didn't move around or anything -- LOLOL! I have discovered that whenever there is an argument between Bunnie & Cassie, IvyJane will poop in the dining room on the Oriental carpet -- VBS!!! What is it about wool rugs that attracts cats?!?!?!? Thankfully, she'll still come upstairs to tinkle so I don't have *that* mess to clean up. I caught the two dingbat cats playing the other day. Bunnie would chase IvyJane from dining room to formal living room and then IvyJane would chase Bunnie back into the dining room. I did have to speak harshly to both of them about jumping up on the antique curio cabinet and the other furniture in those rooms. I also caught the two of them being "bookends" early this week. I have two shuttered floor to ceiling windows in the dining room. A dining room table arm chairs sits in front of each window and some of my Hawaiian Hula accessories sits on each chair. Well, I found Bunnie asleep on one chair and IvyJane asleep on the other chair and all of my Hawaiian stuff just about on the floor -- LOLOL! I haven't found the cats on the chairs again but I did take my Hula accessories off the chair and set them on the table for safe keeping! IvyJane does sneak up into the Jack & Jill bathroom to eat some of Bunnies Fat Cat Diet food. I have rearranged things so that if she does this again when I am in the computer room, I can quickly close the door to the bathroom and keep her inside. I will then go around to the door into the bath from the guest bedroom and get into the larger bath area that way. Hopefully, that would give IvyJane enough room so that she didn't panic and I might finally get to actually lay hands on her and give her a brushing! With her longish fur, she really needs to be brushed regularly. Also, If I could get her corralled this way, I could get her into one of the pet carriers and get her to the vet to have her current shots, etc. I know once she settles down a bit, this will be easier so let's pray that doesn't take too long. I worry about my babies if they are not current on their shots and haven't been to see MY Baby Dr. Our Baby Dr. is Dr. Pam and she is a sweetheart. She's had to send three of my Babies to the Rainbow Bridge and never gotten to meet a new baby until now! She was so happy to meet Bunnie and gave me a big hug to congratulate me on having a new kitty :-) . I showed her the photo of IvyJane and she was impressed by her pretty face and can't wait to meet her. So all is relatively peaceful here for now. Poor ol' Cassie (Baby Cat) is getting over the trauma of having TWO interlopers in her quiet home. Now that Bunnie is playing with IvyJane, I think she's less interested in pestering Cassie about who gets to be Queen Kitty Bee. The playing is helping IvyJane become more settled and accustomed to her new "digs". I'm just happy that no one is arguing at 2:30 AM and waking me up out of a sound sleep -- LOLOL! CiaoMeow >^;;^<
