Kittens

[vilakins]

We're off into the equinox gales to see the little kitten I'm getting from a friend in the country in a few weeks. She's the one I got Claudia from, and she also now breeds Bengals who are spotty and leopard-like, but out of our price range (and also liable to be nicked). We're getting another Burmese because Greg likes them and Claudia may be more welcoming to a kitten who is slightly related, but I'd like the next one to be from The Lonely Miaow charity.

There will be kitten picspam tomorrow.

Hee, I remember how my older cats reacted to my current kittens. There were clear "youth of today, no respect for their elders" expressions on those faces. Fortunately there are two of them so they can take their overabundance of energy out on each other. The oldsters, meanwhile, have all grown quite tolerant and even show some affection sometimes. And that's quite something, because I'm fairly sure that most of them were confirmed only cats before I adopted them.

I hope Claudia and Vic get along great with your new little fuzzball.

I think the more cats you have, the easier it is for new ones to be accepted. At Patsy's today, she had about ten adult cats of differing ages roaming about, very friendly with each other, and all of them eager to get to know us. :-) I think it's like the boarding cattery: they're a lot less territorial together.

I'll just have to hope the kitten gets on with both cats and see how it goes. Otherwise we might have to get another kitten for her; always a possibility, though I'm really hoping it all works out.
