Surprise!
(More Robert E. Lee later, fear not.)
This little poofball is LUCY. We were clear on the other side of town last week, having dropped off my computer at the Genius Bar for a once-over. Hubby wanted to show me something at Best Buy, so we went to the BB over there. A PetsMart was right next door, and we moseyed in to see two cute little torties dozing in their kitty condo. There was playing, there was snuggling, there was the tossing of toys...You can see the result!
She's a real firecracker. I'm tempted to rename her "Vivien", which means "lively". It would suit. She's a real cutie-pie...I call her my little burnt marshmallow (don't ask why, pet owners know these things happen). Lucy is just a darling little poofball.
Ben, of course, adored her from the start. It is his way, being the collie who is friend to all kitties of the world. Buckley was a little more hesitant, and there was a great deal of growling and hissing from him as he waited and sniffed and stared beneath the door (Lucy has her own room for the time being, 'till everyone is safely acquainted and used to the idea). Within three or four days, though, Buckley was jovially pushing bottlecaps and balls around with Lucy from the other side of the door, shoving those huge paws of his beneath.
She will have been in residence here two weeks this coming Tuesday (I know, I know, but I had no computer and YOU chase two cats and a dog around, see how much time YOU have!), but she and Buckley (and Ben, of course) are now getting along quite famously. Buckley can sometimes play a bit rough, being used to Ben, but overall he seems to really enjoy his new little sister.
So, this is Lucy! Expect more of her to come, of course.
Unless she's renamed Vivien. ;)
