Damn, brenda!
Congrats to Suzi and CJ!
Condolences for Muppet, Theo, and I'm sorry about your roommates bad news. Tough day.
I had a long day myself, but full of good stuff. Miss Kitty came with her own cat tree, so I borrowed my parents' truck, drove down to get her and her accessories, mad it back u to my Tai Chi class only a couple of minutes late (Repulse the Monkey->Parting the Wild Horse's Mane -> Cloud Hands plus some Brush Knee walking forward practice, so now we can walk backward, forward, and sideways), finally had some dinner after class and got home after my bedtime but before it started raining. There is nothing quite like driving a not very familiar stick shift pickup through heavier than I'm used to traffic for a couple-three hours. Miss Kitty was pretty calm through most of it, though, which is nice. Hopefully not because she was terrified the whole time. I don't think so.
She's sequestered in the bathroom right now with her own food dish, water dish, litter box, scratch pad, and the carrier I transported her in in case that feels safe and familiar. Walter is super interested in meeting her but being polite about it so far, I don't think Jadzia and Pixie realize there is another cat in the house yet. That'll be a challenge for tomorrow. As well as getting the cat tree in from the truck and functioning on what will clearly be too little sleep.
Now that I've sen her, I don't think she's Maine Coon at all. Fluffy, though. Maybe Ragdoll, she reminds me of a cat that we figured was mostly Ragdoll.Certainly very sweet and friendly and apparently low key and calm.
