And now the other calico ear licker

What you need after a long day

missing oldy cats

The first full day we had Minion, I really missed Nombly and Sherry. I became conscious of going from my two old boys, to suddenly having two young girls. And then last night I dreamed about Sherry. Sigh. Little Bones, little Nombs.

Return to Meowee East: Minion's favourite toy

So Minion chases Haley all the time now. It goes like this:

- run after big cat
- she hisses
- I hiss
- I lay down on floor to show her I'm only joshing

Every single time. I think Haley is slowly catching on. And loves to be chased so... this may be a case of be careful what you wish for.

Return to Meowee East: There's no escape!

Poor Halzebub has discovered that all her old Hiding Spots no longer work. Because the boys were old, she could escape them and feel safe (a) on top of the toy cabinet, (b) on top of Fernando's bookcase, and (c) in her box. But Minion can get to all those places, and does--usually cause she's chasing Haley.

Hide-away

Watching Haley in hide-away

Well, at least Box is getting some use. Years ago I took xmas decorations out of some various things, and ended up piling a box into a laundry basket into a tupperware bin. Haley decided it was the perfect angle to sit in and hang out, so I could never remove it. A couple weeks ago I finally got around to decorating the box, but she hasn't used it much since Sherry's death. Now she and kitten pop in and out during their chase scenes.





It's funny, the differences in them. Haley loves to be chased and startled. But Minion loves to pursue. Today she was walking by the sofa and I made a startling movement and grabbed her, but she didn't jump! and get ahhh!excited!! She just stepped away and gave an Offended Mew.

Fernando took some vids, I'll upload tomorrow.

never-ending suckitude

This cat is ear addicted!

Return to Meowee East: Calm

So today I continued to let the kitty out and feed the girls together, then let her roam around for awhile, and then put her away again. I just took her out again about an hour ago, the girls had their supper, and now Haley's sitting in one of her favourite spots (the exercise bike) and Minion's off frolicking or watching out the window or something. I haven't heard a peep out of them, hiss-wise.


A Few Hours Later: I went to check on Minion--she was kneading her blanky, so I picked her up and she sucked on my ear for a bit (making me feel like I'm in a Little Britain skit.)


Haley is still tolerating the baby, though the baby never frikking stops moving! Our first game together is that I steal whichever toy she's carrying, and she tries to get it back, and I throw it.

She also likes to leap on Haley. Halzebub actually enjoys being chased, so eventually this may become acceptable. Perhaps that's what she programmed into the little Frankenstein in the first place.
