The ears grow first. Then the rest of the cat eventually catches up.

Love ‘em!

Went well last night. I kept them in the extra bedroom and when it was time for bed, Missy came in and slept next to me all night.

I got up this a.m. and no food was left in the extra room

Guarda came rushing out and RAN into the garage where the litter boxes are set-up. He knew!

I have an extra litter box in the room with them for the night but Guarda didn't need it.

I've got me a very smart Maine Coon it seems.

This is excellent news! I was just wondering if you had ever gotten a new kitty (I was looking at some of my old posts earlier).

It sounds like they're settling in just fine, which tells me it was meant to be.

I wish you, Niall, Guarda and Missy many, many happy years together! 🐈 ❤️

It was touch and go for awhile there.

One of the volunteers that took me to the store when I had no car told me I was going blind and that I'd be needing shots in my eyes!

I thought I'd best forget it if this was the case but the doctor called me and said "See you next year".

The volunteer was way out of line and that was simply not true!

So glad I didn't give up!

I just got up and opened the door to the room I have Garda and Nialls in. They were both on the bed (Garda = biggest kitten in this picture; Nialls is the littlest one on the far lower left

).

Garda came out and allowed me to pet him a few times. No more cowering. Some sick person must have hit him in the past! SHAME!

Garda made the rounds and little Nialls was in his new little cat house I got him from Macy's. I was able to put it together all by myself! Yeah!

Big beautiful black kitty Missy was in bed with me all night purring away.

She is no longer a lonely kitty!

So, this is my update for the day!

Have a happy day everyone!
