poop on my pillow....

I suspect it was Baby Eyes. She is MAD at me... for taking her away from the
only home she has known for the last six years... I never saw such a cranky
attitude from a cat! She's getting over it now....

I brought her and Abelard over to the new house yesterday and she was even
cranky in the car but not as bad as she was when I set her down in the new
house. She hissed and growled at everyone for the whole rest of the day but
toward bedtime she had mellowed a bit.

Abelard rode in the carrier and cried a bit during the trip. (It's good to
be reminded every now and then that he really does have a voice.) He stayed
in the carrier after I brought it in and wouldn't come out for a long time
after the door was open. I just let him stay there as long as he wanted.
When he did come out he got right into my lap and smurgled up a storm and
was trembling, then he hid out under the bed.

Meanwhile Baby Eyes hid behind a chest of drawers for a while. When she
finally came out she was growling at the mere *sight* of any of the other
cats and hissing if they got close. She had even growled at Abelard in the
car. At one point I picked her up and was petting her in my lap, which she
usually loves, but this time she growled. She was so nasty that I thought
she might have been hurt but she refused to let me check her over.

Billy and Lily are well accustomed to the house by now and Beatrice and
Tommy are nearly adjusted too. Tommy is especially fascinated by having a
new bathroom to explore. Those four had a good romping play session in the
big living room last night while Baby Eyes watching and letting out an
occasional growl.

Abelard slept under the covers in bed with me and I'm not sure where the
rest of them slept. This morning I was greeted by a large kitty poop that
was sitting on my big red floor pillow. I know Abelard didn't do it because
he was still in the same spot as when we went to sleep, and none of the
others had any reason to do this.

So it must have been a message from Baby Eyes, who has _never_ left me a
mess before. Thank goodness she has calmed down.

Eli is still at the farm, alone. I won't bring him over until the Feliway
plug-ins are installed....

Adrian...

Cats can be so eloquent. ;-)
