Suggestions for ways to acclamate Mollie-the-terrible to the new kittens welcomed.
give the old cat free reign of the home except for one room where the kittens will be kept. keep them separate for a month (maybe? i don't remember exactly). this will let them get used to each others scent and presence and will overall make the acclamation process much easier. after a month (or whatever) you can start letting them be in the same room together, however, you should always be present and when you're not there/paying attention/its bed time, move the kittens back into their room and close the door.
eventually, you'll be able to leave them alone with each other. you can tell its time when they can touch without jumping and hissing.
You're right, those kinds of events are total crap. The whole Arts business is ridiculous and subjective and you know all this, but it still sucks. So I guess I just want to say "keep it up. You're good and you know it and that's what's important". And I miss you.
Seriously! It'snot as expensive as you might think. Move in! Let's have a nice little community where we eat breakfast every day and play bingo together!
i would love to be able to go to a WA show! I try to see if I can every time i hear about one, alas. good luck remodeling. My roomates are doing the same thing right now... notice i said my roomates. i'm just kindof watching.
thank you. there's an equally as adorable couple that works with us at GTA that has a puppy that looks just like yours. I think I'm going to have to get one too, when I get married one day, to ensure that I'm as cute & happy a couple. It seems to be a trend.

I'm very happy Mollie came home, though!
What a rollercoaster of emotions that entry triggered. :)
