Royanne & Her Cats

* * *

This might seem like a strange post to ya'll, but

Royanne is really getting into the thrilling fun of having

and enjoying her pets. At night, we bring the dogs on to the

mud porch and she says Gee-gee for Gilligan, and Pote for

Pokey. But what she really enjoys is the cats.

This is a picture of Brat and Abby. They were born about the

same time, and we brought Brat home very young.

I have a picture that is not on the computer of

Brat as a small kitten curled up on Abby when

I was babysitting her. They were both sound asleep.

When we adopted Blue in early 2006, Brat was not

very impressed. It took 6 months for them

to sleep near one another, Brat was so

very suspicious.

When we were preparing for the arrival of Royanne,

the cats were really curious about the paint, the

bedding, all the changes.

Blue was o.k. with her arrival. Brat was another

story. But they both have finally adjusted to

her sad cries, her high pitched shrieks of delight,

and her lightning fast movements!

October 2007 with Blue, the cuddler.

Feb 2008 with Blue, the curious one. He also is fine

with me putting him in the tub with her. He meows

a few times, jumps out and shakes his feet. No biggie

to him.

March 2008 napping butt to butt.

June 2008 petting Blue under the dining room

table. He meows & meows and really

encourages the petting. Sometimes she

gets excited and she gets a little rough.

September 2008

September 2008. They were nose to

nose before I took the picture.




It took Brat about 6 months to tolerate Blue
moving in. Now they sleep together. Ro calls
Brat "mean" and Abby and Liam call her
"the selfish cat"
because she always hides when they are here
and won't play with them like Blue does.




Brat is very pretty & very silky and Royanne
really wishes she'd be nice: she really wants to
be friends.
