Back in November we adopted the 8-week-old Bella, a rambunctious and
funny black shorthair with a few tortoiseshell markings. Our Gracie is
now nearly 11, and had been slowing down, sleeping more, etc.

I know she has a long time ahead of her of sleeping in the sun and playing
with her new sister.

You know I was not saying we got a kitten because Gracie has turned into a
dud, right?

lol *Just making sure. I adore her. She gets to looking like Gollum when
she needs a depo shot, but then I guess I have my moments too. One thing the
kitten's wide open personality has done--because Bella is so relaxed and
open and cuddly, it kind of hurts my feelings when Gracie runs from us,
which she does everywhere in the house except in one room. Then I remember
all she went through, being a stray in a nasty trailer park, pregnant before
she was a year old, 4 months in a shelter where she was packed in like a
sardine. I adore her for herself.

FWIW, Mimi used to have eosinophilic granuloma when she was younger,
but after about age 13 (?), she quit having it altogether, and I never
had to give her another Depo shot. Not sure why. Her diet didn't
change, and she was indoor, so there wasn't really anything different
in her environment. She just quit breaking out. Very weird.

As a side note -- I just popped in to say hi to all the old rpch&b
peeps. I was reading and posting at alt-true-crime (there is a
missing little boy in our area, who I am afraid was kidnapped) and
thought I'd stop by. I mainly hang on FB now -- if any of you old
timers are on there, and want to friend me, send me an email and I
will send you my link. This address is valid.

We are all doing well -- no kitties, but still have our old dog,
Tessa. She's 12, fat, sassy and happy.

Peace out,

-L.
