How are the cats dealing with the changes at home? When we first brought her home, the cats took one look at her and took off. Ozzie came back first. He kept a wary distance. During our first meal we parked Aurelia in her car seat and just placed it on the floor where we could keep an eye on her. Ozzie circled her, about three feet away, at full alert. Every little sound she made and he would bristle. He spent the rest of the night keeping her in sight and trying to figure out what was going on.
Saturday morning found him nearly falling asleep on a chair watching us. I was holding Aury so I decided to force a meeting. He sniffed her head and I explained that she was ahead of him on the pecking order. He nodded in agreement so that she take care of everything.
Later on we were upstairs, and Aury had the hiccups. Sana was lounging on the changing pad. Another meeting though Sana is much more tentative. The baby got the pad and cat got the floor. We're hoping that will establish some territorial rights.
One more cat story, though this has to do with my adorable nephew and niece who visited yesterday. Josiah burst into the door and screamed, "Where are the cats!?!". He spotted Ozzie and the chase was on. Ozzie has the speed advantage and new the route. I picked him up so Josiah could pet him for a minute. Very cute. The cats then hid upstairs.

Josiah's much better with dogs. If Freddie was around today and had made her peace with Josiah, they would have been BEST buds. Picture the tennis ball. Geez, all of the sudden I sorta miss Freddie. Glad to hear that you guys are hanging in there and taking it one day at a time!
