Hi y'all....

Just a quick update on my sis and her new friend. Seems the kitty's
name isn't Linksey, but Jinxy. Anyhow, I called her this morning to
see how the first evening went and she sounded absolutely awful!!
Her first words were "She played on me and the bed ALL NIGHT!!!!!"
(Sound familiar? grin) I told her that sounded fairly normal and
reassured her that she and Jinxy would settle into a routine. Then
she said "Everytime I moved under the covers, she would POUNCE!!"
I helpfully replied "Oh...Bed Mousie....that's a great game!" at which
point I heard a groan....Then she said "All of a sudden, she curled up
and went to sleep and I couldn't get her to move over so I could lay
down." So, all in all, sounds like things are progressing in a fairly
normal fashion in my sister's training! (Don't you just love it!!!)

In the interest of sanity, tell your sis that you do not "get a cat to move
over". You must physically pick it up and put it down somewhere else and
then try to claim some part of the bed and go back to sleep as quickly as
possible. A cat that weighs eight pounds during the day, weighs at least
eighty if you try to push it with your foot at night.
