New family member - update #2
Well, it's been nearly a week, now. We still have an uneasy
truce, with an occasional "shouting match", but neither one seems seriously intent upon damaging the other, so I'm sure they'll work it out in time. The little newcomer ("Cendri" for short) grows bolder. She'll allow herself to be petted, and even lean into my hand. Last night we had a breakthrough - she was on the hassock of my recliner, stepped over onto my knee, accepted my carresses, and even revealed a rather loud purr! (Of course, then Melisande got too close and growled at her, so she took off.) I can't believe how much that little mite EATS!!!!! She certainly has not been underfed - she's tiny, but her ribs are reasonably well-padded, as is the rest of her. However, both moist-food dishes are always polished clean by the next feeding time, which Melisande has NEVER done, and I'm sure she is not eating any more than usual. That means Cendrillon is accounting for nearly four cans of Fancy Feast (or two cans of the "normal" catfood I can now buy again) every day! (The levels of the dry food don't seem to diminish much faster than they did when Melly was alone here, but I've seen Cendri eating from that, too.) She's a young cat, true, but not a kitten, despite her size, so hasn't the excuse that she's "still growing" - although if this keeps up, she may start growing sideways! (It's true, Melisande may be eating more, now she has some competition at the food bowls, but not THAT much more, I'm sure.) |
