One year ago last month we welcomed Miss Candy Cat into our household. We had a few iffy moments but no real trouble. No litter box trouble. No tufts of hair laying on the carpet trouble. No torn ears trouble. Some hissing, yes, but not “I mean it” hissing, if you know what I’m saying.
Welcoming Candy into our home turned out to be a great move. A living creature to enjoy and interact with every day. For people who have chosen not to have children this is huge, this “other living being” in your space dealio.
Candy and Bethesda get along very well. All that “healthy exercise” the vets and toys encourage and we all know the animals need, they get that chasing each other in friendly fashion all over the house all day. There were some mild turf issues, which Bethesda lost to my dismay, but then the other morning I walked by the bedroom and they were sleeping together on the bed.
Bethesda cries a LOT LESS. Amen. She doesn’t sit with her butt turned toward us to demonstrate her general disapproval of everything every night. She doesn’t whine about being bored. She’s lost 2 pounds and while she wasn’t over weight before, she’s now not in danger of being over weight. Candy gained 2 pounds and while she’s not in danger of being over weight she no longer looks like an animal who lives in a cage.
It’s all good.
