"Get these mutts away from me!""

Cat polishing: I made Cassie a Catster page.

Opened the bedroom door and the dogs and I trooped in. Spike was tight as a coiled spring, the tips of his ears vibrating with cat-love, and Squish kept wanting to yap in happy excitement, but they lay on the bed with me and behaved. Cassie hissed when we came in the room, and sat on the windowsill making her indescribable growly/grumbly/whiny/complaint noise at the dogs. I've never heard a noise remotely like that come out of any feline. I'll have to get her to do it near the computer for you before she gets too used to the dogs and gives it up.

We lay there for a while, the dogs being good, although Spike's bright-eyed fixed stare never left her, and I talked in random soothing sentences, making a point of using her name, stroked her, stroked the dogs and yawned a lot. Cassiopeia fell silent and I saw her silhouette behind the curtains relax and her ears come forward, though she showed no sign of leaving the windowsill.

Stayed like that for a while and then trooped out with the dogs. Will leave her in peace for the night.

fat pigeons! mum's Maisie growls and gnashes her teeth at them, Spike used to love dashing outside to make them fly and Squish points them!

I'm looking forward to learning all this stuff about Cassie, watching her watch birds and seeing how she reacts to all the other cats we can see from the windows and stuff.

it almost a pity that she's going to stay an indoor-only cat. They do love being outside. But I couldn't cope with having a pet and not knowing where it was at all times, I'd lose my mind - and in any case, we're on the first floor and there's no physical way she could get in and out, so the question's academic.

Hehe, Lolly's been after this one fat pigeon for at least a year now, and it manages to get away from her every single time. (Well, I think it's the same pigeon - she certainly seems to, given that it's the only one she'll chase, oddly enough :s)
