REXIE HAS A NEW BABBY SISTER!

We met her a week ago in the kitten room at our vet when picking up Rexie's meds. She immediately trotted up to both of us like "yup, you're the ones". Here's the first pic I snapped of her right when she did that.



She smelled like pee and her coat felt greasy. She was really skinny. She had just gotten spayed and was just behind on her grooming, but she was the most affectionate little thing. We decided to ask about her but she was already adopted. We figured that was for the best, takes the decision out of our hands.

Then on Sunday my wife got a call: Were we still interested in Sasha (the name she had on the books)? I was up on the roof hanging lights and she's yelling up at me about a cat. We decided it was meant to be, let's go get her, and an hour later we have our 6th cat.

This is Iskierka. Yes, she has the Tortietude™.



We found out she was the runt of the litter and her mom had rejected her, hence why she's so skinny. She's been eating like a champ since we took her home, though, and we'll catch her up quick.

Introductions are going well. No cuddles yet, but Bishop and Tyrion have had confused moments of playfulness. Rexie is suspicious....

Yup, my wife chose it. She made me read the books last year.

So far, though, it's a really appropriate name with her personality.

Holy gently caress. I was just going through my goodreads 2021 challenge books as I struggle to figure out what I should read next....I read these this year. Some after we moved into this house, even.....



PainterofCrap posted:

To be fair, she still does not like Bishop.

We got him thinking he'd be a companion she could play with and stop bothering our older cats, but she reacted poorly to no longer being the baby (though an equilibrium was eventually established).

Now we got Iska for him to alleviate the same problem, only worse; he doesn't have any cat manners and does not take the "hint" that Rexie does not want to play when she is hissing and sometimes screaming bloody murder when he corners her.

So far so good on that plan, at least. No more hisses or grumbles when she tries to tackle him, and he's played back tentatively. She also has infinitely better cat manners and backs down and acts submissive when the bigger cats put her in her place instead of pushing harder.

First cuddles have been achieved.



Mostly Rexie was too tired to move (and the blankets are all being washed, hence the sweatshirt over her).

When I was young, one of my dad's friends had a small army of tiny bug-eyed dogs (can't remember what breed, some generic wire-haired variety), so when you went round they'd let you in, take your coat, then open a door and a giant carpet scattered with googly eyes would pour into the hallway and start licking your shins.

Full VOLUNTARY cuddles have been achieved, now.



Iska was in the bed and Rexie came over, sniffed her (grumbled a little) so definitely knew she was there....and then climbed in the bed and is still sitting there now.

The tiny one is overjoyed and is now asleep.
