She’s really made herself quite at home. Samwise is even starting to get along with her most of the time. It’s been four and a half months, so I guess that’s reasonable, for an older cat like Sam who’s always been the only one.
It’s nice they aren’t fighting so much any more:
She’s still so small! The vet says her vocal cords are still too short to meow, so she does a lot of squeaking and stuff. Sometimes she’ll try to make a sound she can’t and it’ll just come out as a cough. Samwise was a lot bigger as a kitten, so it’s a real trip having such a tiny thing to take care of.
Momo and I are watching For All Mankind right now, season 1, no spoilers. Played the Final Fantasy XVI demo a bit earlier… looks very nice, but I haven’t started the real quest yet. What’s everybody else up to?

Good kitties.

Is that an American Performer Tele?

Looked in on the first three episodes of the new season of Happy Valley.
Too much family-ing, not enough policing compared to what I remember from the stellar first two seasons some years back.

Don’t know if anyone marked the passing of one of the very best writers ever to put words to paper,
but Cormac McCarthy has died.
If you have not read his latest works, don’t pass on the chance.
“The Passenger” and “Stella Maris,”

Somewhat extensively discussed in a couple of different threads downstairs.

Momo has almost the exact same colouring as my Aoife. Even the same golden eyes. She’s beautiful.

Glad to hear they’re starting to get along. What a cutie!

Good news! Integrating a new cat into a house with existing furry ones can be a bit stressful (or not, as is the way of cats). It’s great that they are curling up together to sleep. Integrating our orange guy (Chuckie) into our household was easy for our boss cat Stewie and hard for our orange guy’s Uncle Morty. It figures that it would be his uncle who had problems accepting Chuckie…lol!
It took almost a year for Morty to come around but until then it was lots of hissing and growling on Morty’s part. Now they gang up and beg me for some of my dinner when I sit down to eat and camp next to me on the waterbed.
That’s a pretty orange girl you have there and Samwise is a handsome guy!

@Odie Hugh Manatee: they still hiss and antagonize each other but it’s way down.

@Major Major Major Major:
The fact that they are camping next to each other means the battle is won. The hissing is part and parcel of cats being cats. While our cats all get along there are times when one of them warns the others “not right now”, which is usually listened to.
The key word being “usually”…lol!
I’m still hard at work trying to convince a stray Maine Coon girl to move into our garage instead of sleeping outside in a neighbor’s back yard (they never mow and the cat hides back there without a problem). She came around to sneak food from the bowl I keep out in the shop for our guys. I got her to come near me to get Temptations treats and finally got her to come up to me and let me feed her by hand with Churu squeeze treats. I have been able to get her to come up to me and nuzzle my hand/rub my leg after she has eaten just over the last few days.
Usually she eats and runs. Now she is coming over more often, eating more food, hanging around and playing with Chuckie. Our other two cats completely ignore her and let her camp around the property with them. She can pretty much just move in but it’s getting her to do it that’s the fun part…lol!

I want to hear the tiny kitten squiks! :D

Needless to say, Sam got his paws on Cat-GPT [sic] and created the photo of him sleeping side-by-side in order to fool MMMM into thinking he and Momo are getting along.
Obviously, the experts are right: AI will wipe out humanity, but only by being guided by our feline “friends.”

Is it a cookbook? “First, pre-heat Earth via increased CO2 emissions…”

Momo is adorable! And we have a little kitty who squeaks too. We call her the Squeaker of the House. :-)

Momo is so beautiful! I’m glad she’s settling in, and that Samwise is adjusting. Glorious kitties!
@Amir Khalid: Still waiting for pictures of Aoife…

Yay for relative feline harmony 😻😻. It’s been three years since we brought Asimov home and Manya still hasn’t forgiven me. And he and Heisenberg still love each other. It’s a whole melodrama 😸😸😹

I must have missed the news that you got a smol tiger in your household.
So, you’re back stateside! We really need an all-Colorado meet-up one of these days.
