I love this group: I read it every day.

But I have no meowchat

As others have said, ordinary English is fine here. The fun part
isn't the spelling, it's the "imagined feline perspective" that's
used much (not even all) of the time. For example, "she" might want
to write about her new home, and how it's different from her
previous one.

BTW I've noticed your ongoing, always courteous, posts here, and I
consider you as much a part of this group as any of the other
regular participants.

Yes and we were all sad at his loss and happy for his finding a new owner.

I think she's very pretty

She's beautiful! I've never seen a tabby with blue eyes. Does she
have Siamese blood in her?

Debby

She is half Siamese.

But, she doesn't have the famous Siamese 'voice', much to my relief.

Thank you

So far, Lorelei really doesn't care for her new home.

I hope she adjusts soon, as she seems very unhappy here.

I showed her the nice padded shelf that I built by one of my windows,
and she had no interest in it.

So I put her on the shelf, and instead of looking out the window, she
just stood on it and cried.

She had a very nice tall cat tree in her former home to lay on and look
out the window, but I cannot afford to buy one.

She needs 3 vaccinations, and a blood test for FeLuek, and that comes
first, unfortunately

So far, Lorelei really doesn't care for her new home.


That's pretty normal. Cats don't like change. They don't trust
unfamiliar things (thus the inspektagation they put everything
through), so in a new home, there's a heap of inspectagating to do.
Each cat adapts their own way, and for some older cats it can take a
long time. She will be happy there eventually. Carol

I'll second that. When we moved to Iowa it took Cleo the better part of a
week before she would show herself. Tabitha wouldn't let us touch her for
at least a month. But once they had a chance to explore and investigate
and see that everything was ok, they settled in just fine.

When I moved the cats from Iowa to Illinois, Harri was the only kitty
that would speak with me for the first couple weeks.

So would you want to take a try at writing it from what you think
would be Lorelei's perspective? "I'm unhappy here because...." I'd
guess she misses the company of the other animals, for one thing.
Maybe also all the familiar-smelling places. (You and I know all
that was unavoidable, but she probably doesn't.)
