Crazy cat lady

Yes, there are two of them now.

Jalo (officially D'Manns Triton, baby pictures here) appeared on Friday the 13th, and despite the ominous date everything has gone more or less smoothly. Mimmi, poor creature, has been a textbook example of OMG WTF, and has spent the weekend running to the kitten hissing and growling, swatting him ever so carefully only to leg it away herself.

I was a bit anxious at her behaviour, but even though she has been letting the youngster know that this is her territory and he is an unwanted guest, she has not been openly threatening. She growls, but her head is turned away and her posture is relaxed which in Cat probably means that she doesn't want to hurt anyone. At least that's how I interpret it, I'm more fluent in Dog.

A couple of hours ago they chased each other, and afterwards sniffed each other's noses which ought to mean that the worst is over. I'm still contemplating on keeping them in separate rooms when I'm away at work, they haven't been alone together for more than half an hour and Mimmi doesn't realize that she's about three times the size of Jalo and plays accordingly.

My mother made me promise that I won't get any more animals. Like, what? I only have 2 cats and some fish, it's not that bad, is it?



Now listening: L'ham de foc.
