It Only Makes Me Stronger

Snickers is adjusting to our garage so far....she is very friendly and I am thrilled that she remembers how to use the litter box.  I don't think she has used one for a couple years, so that was a pleasant surprise.  I think she is missing her other cat friends and the other house where she roamed free since we have not let her out and about yet.

Okay, I thought this was a cute picture, but then I wondered if that container is an urn....that makes the picture very sad.  Let's just consider it an item of home decor and that the other cat is visiting relatives.  Pretty soon the other cat's face will appear in the cat face drawing and there will be much to purr about....that would be a huge cat if it's head was really that big, whatever :P

Anyway, I tried letting Kooper and Snickers meet a few times today.  I am trying to get them used to being in the same room and not freaking out.  Snickers is much cooler about the whole thing than Kooper, but she definitely has her purr-sonal space.  He is so excitable...he can hardly stand it.  It might take a couple days of bringing them into the same area before he chills and just lets her do her thing.  Tomorrow, Snickers goes to the Vet and then we will transition her inside to let her get used to our home.  I have no idea how this is supposed to work.....introducing pets and helping them get acclimated to a new place....how long until we can let her roam the yard without fear that she will run off?....if only I could read her mind.

The girls are funny to watch adjusting to a new pet.  Karly said she already made up a secret hand (er, paw) shake with Snickers and Danielle had the opportunity to get some new library books at school today....look what she picked out....

She thought she was pretty clever for that...she wanted to see my reaction.  When I said, "AWWWW"...Brad said, "See, she has already won you over."....Not necessarily true.  I just don't hate the cat....and I am at the point where I am realizing this probably won't "kill me".  

Well now, that's ironic :)
