new cats; tip of tongue sticking out
Well, the new cats have arrived. Only time will tell whether they
will be foster cats or will remain here for life. They will be here at least until December, when they can go to a no-kill shelter, but that seems like a bad place for shy cats. Of course, since they only arrived on Tuesday, Mingy has not met them--and that is the wild card in all of this. He must have heard something the first night though, because he was acting very strange, hunkered down near the door to where they are sequestered or very attuned to it when not actually there. He was so distracted that he would not come eat his wet food. Anyway, the two cats are settling in well, especially given that they are shy. I am seeing more and more of them. I go down to read, and they come out and stay out. I have gotten to pat them a bit, and even got a few swipes of a brush in on one cat (they are Himmies--shorn a few months ago). They are skittish though, so I have to be very careful not to startle them. I did notice that the girl occasionally has the tip of her tongue sticking out. I noticed that when their mommy brought them and also have seen it a few times since. She does not do it all the time. I am wondering, though, whether that might mean anything in particular. -- Jean B., 12 miles west of Boston, Massachusetts, USA |

I just wanted to be sure it wasn't the hallmark of some awful disease, which would cost tons of money the second I have the cats! -- Jean B., 12 miles west of Boston, Massachusetts, USA |

I think they just forget to pull it all the way back into their mouths sometimes. My Caley does it when she's been grooming me and is distracted by something. Harmless.
