Cats



So, we've got 2 cats. Owen, a grumpy old man who throws up and hisses and is generally not happy to see anyone in the world except me, and Lucy, a sweet fat little cat who hides when people come over but then comes out to be petted by anyone with a free hand, fingernails are a plus. So, we thought that Owen would absolutely FREAK when we brought Kueffer home, and Lucy would end up snuggling with him in his bouncy chair.

We could not have been more wrong.

Owen, from the day Kueffer came home to today, has been somewhat close to a model cat. He's not bothered by the crying or laughing or anything. He slept on the bed with Kueffer (not snuggling) and would merely look over at Kueffer when Kueffer would cry or fuss.

Lucy, on the other hand, has decided to start binge-eating to sublimate her rage and hurt feelings over Kueffer's arrival. She used to sleep with us, but she stayed away from us for probably 3-4 weeks, long after Kueffer was in his own crib. Lucy gets completely spazzed out when Kueffer cries and runs away to hide somewhere. She wants to have absolutely nothing to do with him. The picture shows you the only good part for her about Kueffer's arrival.

Owen partly agrees with Lucy -- baby toys rock.
