Kitten is here

[MissMillie]

The dogs are being very well behaved.

Littlest dog Audry has been kissing the kitty. Sometimes it looks to me like she's being a bit rough, but I figure kitty knows how to get Audry to back off.

Poppa dog Peanut is quite curious, but I think he doesn't like kitty's smell. He has in no way been aggressive.

Momma Cookie and big boy Billy don't seem interested at all, but seem overly interested in making sure they get Daddy's (my guy) attention. My guy worked a lot of hours this week, and all of the dogs have been missing him. I think bringing kitty home just added insult to injury.

Kitty is completely set up in our bedroom (for now)--food dishes, litter box and crate/bed. When the door isn't shut the baby gate is closed so that the dogs can't get in there (which has always been the case). Kitty is curious, and quite cuddly. Tiny little thing actually found a way to climb up into bed w/ my guy this morning. He's quite good-natured--taking the dogs in stride. He has spent his life thus far in a house full of animals, so the dogs are not really all that new to him. I think it's just a different house and different smells and he just wants to explore it. We're going to give him his chance to do that in small doses and with attentive supervision.

Kitty has a name: Happy.

We'll take some when my guy gets out of bed. (LOL)

He's an orange cat.

3. Orange boys are the best!

I've had many cats and the 2 most loving were my very first cat, Fred, and years later we got another orange tabby and named him Fred II (called Freddie, my DU alias). Both Velcro cats. My son and his girlfriend have an orange tabby named Pumpkin and my daughter and her hub have 2, Edward and Lilly, a fairly rare female orange. Most females with the orange gene are torties (black and orange) or calicoes (white, black and orange).
