Great name, and it looks like she's settling in very nicely.

Janine Smith said...

She is so cute. I am so looking forward to the story on how you come to have another member of the house. I love her name BTW.

Hilary Syddall said...

Ah claiming her rightful place straight off! She looks to be a real sweetie!

I see a sharp decline in Trubs' nap times once Abby gets a few months older :) Being pounced on while sleeping in the sun is a rude awakening for anyone :)

Julie Dollery said...

Yep, I was thinking about 6-7 weeks. The coordination & attention looks about right for that age. She really is gorgeous.

Shawn Medrano said...

What a cute kitten, congrats on the expanded family. :)

Its been three days and things are settling down. Trubs has claimed the bedroom as her domain and the kitten is staying out of that room so we're letting the two of them make that decision. The kitten seems happy to curl up in her basket in the games room each night and doesn't stir until we appear in the morning.

Trubs is still grumbly and hates being picked up when we have Abby scent all over us. Mr S has many many bleeding scratches on his arms :(

Trubs has also conceded the games room to Abby, other than that Trubs avoids Abby and Abby wants to play with Trubs. Trubs will slink off rather than attack (except for Mr S) so this is all good.

She is about 7 weeks. I used to live in a breeding cattery and handled kittens from birth. Her co-ordination will really kick in in the next 3 weeks and then she will be a small tortie lunatic. Trubs is giving the signs of being OK with it but she needs to be left to it by both of you. The best news is that WW3 has not erupted so they can and will settle.

Well, wait until you guys see the big dumb dog we have added to our mix... Nothing like the sound of two hounds going at it at 6:35 a.m. to make you get your ass to work! Maybe pictures tonight.... Cats are so quiet, even when they race and crash and knock stuff over... :)

She's very cute, mostly white for a calico! We also had a new addition to our family on June 6, but it was of the human kind! LOL

Melissa Hicks said...

Claire EJ said...

Mr S does look happy...and that's a huge plus!

Paula Hubert said...

She's definitely adorable! And I'm glad that there are signs that Trubs is going to be ok with her. Give Trubs an extra skritch for me!

Melissa Hicks said...

Trubs is definitely getting extra skritches from everyone here. I have a couple of new photos of her which I will upload into her album later today.

Karen R said...

I missed these new pics - this is so cute!

Karen R said...

And the begging begins... This is how Booger got started with the tapping-on-my-shoulder routine we used to go through every dinner....

Karen R said...

Awwww - who's more content?

Twana Bentley said...

Reminds me of the pictures at tourist spots where you put your arms and head through the guillotine.
