Aw, sweet kitty.
It sounds like it what your DH needs, Fred Pete. The heart opens up to allow more affection, and doesn't take away from previous affections.
My mom and dad were adamant about not getting another dog, when Pepper died too young and with a lot of trauma. But they and the house were too empty without a pup running around. My sister sent them a photo of a litter of Scotties, and 6 hours later, they had Shadow.
I think we're going to adopt another cat.
Yay! That is one lucky cat.
all starring Edna Mae Oliver, which I'm assuming was her real name
I wrote about The Penguin Pool Murder, in which she plays a schoolteacher-turned-detective, in Movies not long ago. She doesn't strike me as having a lot of range, but she was a genius at the type she could play.
That's playing later today, I think! I recognized the title, so I looked at the listings for them all.
Hey you guys, don't forget, if you see a good-news story to submit it to [link]
Yes, please make me stop looking up cheerful(ish) things. That's not who I am.
Suzi, I'm glad you're getting a nurse to look at it! Hope it's nothing major.
Fred Pete, that's one lucky kitty. May s/he bring much joy and love to your home.
Which reminds me, I could use some advice on integrating cats. We just got a new kitten two weeks ago, and he has charmed everyone he's met, except for our other cat, Worthington. New kitty (whose name is Chesterfield) is somewhere around 3-4 months old and very affectionate, playful, and well-socialized. Worthington, on the other hand, is not so well-socialized, despite having lived with other cats when he was younger. (It's been three years now since he lived with another cat.)
We kept them entirely separated for two days, then let them interact with supervision. This seemed to be going great for a week, until W. attacked C. last Wednesday. No one got hurt; I was right there and pulled W. off and shut him in the bedroom, but now I'm nervous that W., who can be pretty high-strung, will attack again. We've gone back to very limited interactions, and we put C. back in the bedroom at the least sign of aggression, and I guess we'll just have to keep doing that for a while, and hope we can gradually increase the amount of time they spend together. Is there anything else we should be doing, O Hivemind? Has anyone had a similar situation?
(Dr. Google led me to a site that told me that "once things go wrong between cats, they rarely go right again!" so I think I'm also looking to be reassured that we can eventually make this work. Can't we? It's only been two weeks -- surely we haven't screwed this up already, right??)
Heh. If it's left up to me, it will turn into a food, cats, and Sesame Street blog, which isn't quite the same thing.
If it's truly up to me it'll be shirtless men and bacon. Fighting my nature--well, you see what it's led to.
Suzi-OUCH! Healing~ma.
Cat integration..we've had a house guest since September 1 with a non-social cat (Billy). There was hissing and baring of fangs, but Billy and Elpheba were tolerating each other over a shared bowl of kibble this past weekend. So...just over two months of adjustment time.
