Annika's cats


Yes, I said cats-plural. Those of you who know what happened this summer bear with me while I do a little update. This summer Jon was picking on our cat (they had this love/hate relationship even though it was his cat) and she went pyscho on him. She basically stalked him all over the house for 2 days. We had to pack up the cat and send her off to the farm. After she left, Annika would ask at least weekly when Nermal was coming home. Allen, the person who does not like cats very much, went on a quest and found a baby cat at a co-workers house. Her name is Smokey and she came to us about 2 weeks ago. She is grey in color and a very big baby. She likes to sleep in my hair at night on the top of my head. Even though she is old enough to be away from her mother she probably left too early before we got her. We have heard that her sister is the same way so we bascially had one baby cat and that was enough for me. Annika was very happy but still would ask if we were going to bring Nermal home. Well, last night Allen was out for his walk and he heard this tiny kitten cry from over in the ditch. He went over and found a mother cat and her little kitten. The mother cat had been hit by a car and was dead; the kitten was fine but all alone. Allen walks late in the evening and it is pretty cool here at night. He couldn't leave this little one on her own so now we have Princess. The picture attached is the two kittens sleeping. At least we know that it will be okay to have these two together. They are still so little and definitely are still working on who is the dominant cat so all last night and this morning we would have the non-stop cat fight cry. I was being to wonder if this was going to work. We left to get some shopping and left the cats on their own. We came home to find them sleeping together in a ball. All our fears are gone. Annika is very happy now because she has "2 kitties". Right now the youngest one, Princess is the most patient with her and puts up with her. In fact just now Annika walked in with her princess dress, crown, wand and was going up to Princess saying "bibidi bobidi boo". I am not sure what she is turning her cat into but Princess thought it was a hoot and even chased her wand like it was something to attack.
