Introducing a new kitty to others
We are officially a four cat family again, since Pat has moved in with 12 year old tortie cat Miss Molly-Bolly. Molly has been slowly introduced to the rest of the gang. She thinks very little of the dogs (they smell!) but is getting along surprisingly well with Jimi Hendrix, while Tiddler pretends she does not exist. As long as … Read More
