Ooh boy, I’m going to have to change the name of this blog to “We Interrupt This Knitting Blog to Bring You Pictures of Cats”. And we’ll have Yakity Sax playing in the background. Sorry, but there is news.
When Persi left with my TAS a couple of weeks ago some of Doozer’s behavioral issues came back. He started chewing up boxes again. He started stalking and biting the kids (and me!) again. After some thought, we realized that perhaps what he really needed is a companion–another kitty to chase and bite. So, we contacted the rescue group that got us Doozer and last week we met this girl:
And today we brought her home! Meet Lolly:
She’s about 4 months old and likes to watch TV and pounce on things. Doozer is, shall we say, rather less than thrilled. But we think that once he gets used to the idea they’ll get along smashingly!
Knitting Interrupted 
You did one thing right (that I did wrong): you got a playmate that is the OPPOSITE SEX. When we brought Lilliane home for Evangeline I had thoughts of “oh look, a new baby for me” and “what a sweet little playmate”! What Evangeline thought was “Damn, it’s already too big to eat” and “don’t even THINK about it, loser”. They coexist now, but rarely sleep in the same area. Still – it’s a good thing, and I suspect when we ARE gone they’re much friendlier. (Besides,what a pretty cat, how could you resist?)
Beautiful kitty. And what a thick tail she has!
From the back, Doozer looks an awful lot like our Gizmo.
Oh yay! Congratulations.
Hey Lolly! Welcome home!
Doozer will probably calm down after a while. We have 4 cats and they all took some time adjusting to each other. After they got their pecking order established, things went smoothly.
Lolly looks like a gorgeous girl! I hope things work out!! :)
