Cat travel
Seven hour train ride over the mountains, me and Linni literally surrounded by eight dogs in our part of the cart... And everything went fine. Smoothest journey yet. None of the dogs ever seemed to catch whiff of the cat in carrier, and I'm starting to think Linni haven't the slightest idea what dogs are. Not even when one of them started barking did she turn her head to see what the fuss was about.
Linni was as usual furious about getting stuffed in the carrier, but once we'd settled in our seat she seemed quite content if a little tense. I discovered it hadn't been a fluke last time we traveled together; She really does calm down when I'm petting her inside the carrier. She spent several hours of the journey sleeping with her head resting in my hand, aww.
Right now she's trying to acclimatize to mum's house. Stairs is a new concept. Sharing a home with other cats isn't, but obviously it's different from the shelter. Today is the first time I've let her out of my room and into the rest of the house, and right now I'm sitting on the floor observing her staring competitions with the resident cats. A little hissing, a little growling, but no violence or major posturing. We'll see how this turns out.
