A bit about Trixie
Trixie, my older cat, is slowly getting used to sharing her house with a
younger cat. She was six years old when I adopted her from the local shelter, and she's been with me for two years now. I've no idea how she ended up in the shelter. In summer she's a medium-haired stripey tabby, greyish rather than brownish, but she looks so different in winter. She develops this pale grey, almost white undercoat, especially on her chest and belly, and the stripes become much fainter, so much that you can hardly see them. As we're in mid-winter here her coat is at its thickest now, and she has a thick ruff on her chest. She looks like a big grey cloud. She's really a beautiful cat. I've no idea whether she was always an only cat. She is very playful and loves chasing a ribbon on a stick, or batting a ping pong ball around. She still doesn't like young Floki much, but she no longer smacks him every time he approaches. |

I seriously doubt Buffy would take to another cat but then, she came from a household with a bully cat. Trixie sounds like a lovely cat. And Floki sounds like fun! Jill |

Trixie sounds lovely. it would be great if we could find out about the history of our rescue cats but they're keeping that to themselves. Floki is getting there in winning her over then. Judith I'm not sure Floki's quite winning her over yet but she is definitely practicing tolerance. Her responses to Floki's attentions lean more towards eye-rolling than throwing punches now. |

Jill Oh she still smacks him around when she thinks he deserves it, just not all the time. It's quite funny to watch them both when Trixie is in a playful mood though. Trixie really throws herself into playing with toys, way more than most older cats I've known. Floki just sits there watching her with a bemused look on his face. He likes to grab stuff because he wants it, not just to play with it. |
