May 16, 2016. 4 days of Holly:
What is this??? a slipper! its my new toy, what's THIS?? A flip flop! my NEW TOY! oh man o man this foot - I LOVE IT, MY FAVORITE TOY.....a bag of $10 worth of toys...WOW I LOVE IT...MY FAVORITE!!!
Run run chew, bounce wrestle, bounce, MEWWWW purr purr....this is my new reality.
A Kitten: Oh it sounded like a great idea on paper, yes a companion for our older cat, a wee ball of warmth and softness so Mr Big wouldn't be so lonely. Uhuh. I'll name her Holly. a 7 week old kitty, a striped, little whirling ball of energy. Silvery and black, with a wee orange 'bindy' on top of her head.
Holly or "the never ending ball o energy" has only been a member of or family for a few days. What has become pretty obvious is that Mr Big does not consider her a companion. Or anything more than the great annoyance. At least on day 4 he's stopped walking around the house hissing and growling. Now that job is up to me.
Also kittens don't stop moving. Or playing. And they never seem to sleep. They always have something to meow about. Whether insistent MEEEow or little growly squeeks...rrrwwowl
Nothing is out of bounds - kittens want to play. and play. Computer tower - play!! The base of the office chair...ATTACK!!! a binder on the floor - best toy EVER! The zipper tab... well you get the drift.
So far I have wondered many times if this is going to work out the way I envisioned. The two cats, curled together napping in a sunbeam. HAHAHA that isn't the way its worked out at all. In the mean time Mr Big naps relatively undisturbed in his bed, while Holly wanders about the office, meowwing full voice like a furry little veloceraptor on a search and destroy mission.
Let's see how this all unfolds - I'm hoping for the best. Right now I'm kind of resentful - on vacation, been up since 4:45, morning chores, coffee is COLD and mini maniac had not settled down and just dumped her water dish into her food for the 3rd time. Sigh. Oh well she'll sleep eventually.
