Huge progress being made today on our Adjustment!

A couple of days ago I told you about some adjustments being made around

here to integrate another cat into our household with Bing. Well, while Bing

and I dug into my birthday package from mom and dad last night, Leo was

still being booed and hissed at any time he dared to come into the room!

By the way... How much do we love presents? Especially presents from the people

who know and love you best. For me, those people are my wonderful parents! Oh,

and also, yesterday I did a little to-me-from-me shopping on-line with our friends at

Williams-Sonoma after I received an e-mail telling me about this Bistro line. I had

to have almost every piece in the collection! And now with this gift card from mom

and dad, I'll be able to do a little more damage! If you like the Bistro line too, you

better hurry because one of the items is already on back order... But I got mine!

Thank you, Mom and Dad!

So where was I? Oh, yes... The integration of Bing and Leo into the same space! Well

this morning, after they each finished their Fancy Feast treat I found Leo out here

in the solarium. When I looked around for Bing, I was surprised to find him...

Right here in the same room!

I didn't want to wander away too far... Just in case someone needed to

be rescued... So I busied myself in the kitchen by unpacking and packing

up the Hickory Farms order I placed to ship to the Ranger. I must have

gotten caught up in what I was doing because without a peep, both Leo

and Bing left the solarium without my seeing them. I searched the entire

downstairs but couldn't find them. Surely they couldn't both be upstairs!

But that's exactly where I found them. And, together... In our bed!

I don't know how it happened, but Leo managed to win Bing's usual spot too!

Maybe Bing's deferring to Leo because he knows Leo's still nursing tender

paws after being declawed. Or maybe our sweet Bing is just that sweet!

Either way... I'm so grateful and relieved by

this obvious display of mutual acceptance!

Now I know I can leave the house to spend my Birthday money

without worrying about the fur flying back here at home!
