While I've got your attention, an early HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

My thanks. :) While there are some downsides to getter older, I still strongly believe it beats not getting older.

Haven't got squirt guns yet. Absolutely need to.

Last night there were several low/no stress semi-encounters between Brie and Stinky... just a little growling on the kitten's part and Brie mostly pointedly ignoring her.

She came down to main floor, got some loving from me.... ignored both Missy and Stinky for twenty minutes then went AFTER the kitten....twice. I ended up chasing her around the house and she finally bolted upstairs, where she's hiding somewhere. :(

Shit and I thought there was progress happening.....

There has been progress, but it ebbs and flows. You know that.

Get squirt guns, and stash them around your place so you'll have one handy everywhere.
