I love torties. She’s a particularly pretty girl.

Torties always look like they’re about to rip your face to shreds, I think. Something about the eyes…

She's very, very sweet! She's still a little timid, but she's very, very friendly. She has the loudest purr of any cat ever! Right now we have her confined to one bathroom, and we go in and sit on the floor until she comes out from under the bathroom cabinet. She's had a very brief introduction to Stormy, but we're going to take that slowly.

Good plan. We did that when introducing our new one to his older brother. By the time we opened the door, they’d become buddies by sniffing and pawing under the bathroom door. That made the actual introduction almost a formality!

Today was a big day in kitty integration chez 520. Thé previous owner came for a visit with his 9 year old daughter last Sunday. That set us back a few days as it upset Ash (new kitty).

Today we achieved peak comfort: all three chowing down together, then Ash and Coco, with whom he’s been obsessed, touching noses.

I was reading through a list of traditional Maine coon cat names and literally gasped when I saw that. Instant tears, instant decision.

Banji’s curled up next to my chair. She’s very tentative around Stormy and will run from humans if she’s approached too quickly. But she comes back and curls up next to me.

Making great progress. Banji jumped up on me without any coaxing for the first time. Now she’s asleep on my chest. She’s been here for almost two hours. I had other things I was planning to do this afternoon, but I really want to work on building her trust, so here we sit.

Catlap is a real thing.

Honey, a little help? I’ve got catlap.

Mr used to scoff until he caught it. He is a good man, enough to be abashed the first time he needed help.

Leon has been graciously explaining a centuries-old kitteh legal concept to me, called Mine Right Now.

Opened the new "down-quality" bed comforter, got it out of the plastic packaging and on the bed, still hadn't even unfolded it, and POUNCE.

"I call Mine Right Now! so tell them smelly ol' girly cats to stay the hell away from me. This is MY comforter, and don’t think you're going to put it on the bed, either."

:?

"Umm ... okay, sir. Is there anything else I can do for you?" :batting:

my husband thinks the only reason I wanted to get Banji was so that he would have to do things for himself for a change. Stormy is always sitting in his lap.
