making friends?
Interesting., originally uploaded by kittenlogic.
d’s mom fled the state a couple months ago, and is an asshole so she left her elderly cat. you know my family is all crazy cat people, so since my mom already has two, i knew i had to take her.
my sweet old girl is 14, and her name is schnookums, and i have affectionately nicknamed her “snooki” in honor of jersey shore. she’s always been pretty scared of everything, so i have her spend a lot of time in her safe room when i can’t be right near her. when i can be right near her, i make sure she and nick don’t fight (because she’s a big hisser!), and let her explore.
last night, there was a sleepy standoff on my stairs, but they both tolerated each other from about 4 feet away. today, little girl was in my office looking out the window, and boy wanted to come in to sleep in his favorite sunny spot. she hissed at him when he came in, but he did a creepy walk and laid down and started falling asleep anyway, so she was like “alright, whatever then,” and started dozing off herself. i ruined the moment when i tried to go clean her litterbox, because apparently no cat can resist shitting in a freshly cleaned box. sigh.
so i’ll be a lot more excited about this once i can leave the two of them together alone, but for now i’m happy that i’m able to give her a home so she doesn’t have to live the rest of her life in a shelter. she’s a good girl and deserves a good life.
