Cat Update!

Well, we've brought home our new housemate. Her name is Mia, and she is a pretty kitty. Loki took one look at her, backed up against Alex, and hissed. He was terrified. Mia, meanwhile, has made herself right at home. At the moment, she is relaxing under the dining room table while Loki very, very slowly inches closer to her. They're mainly staring at each other. I expect that they'll be fine within a few days. To be honest, I was more worried about Mia than Loki, but he seems to be the scaredy cat. Plenty of petting and reassurance has been given to both felines, so they'll have to sort the rest out for themselves. Loki accepts petting calmly, but he keeps his gaze fixed on Mia. Mia, meanwhile, bumps her head up against our hands and purrs her little heart out.
I hope that they behave themselves tonight. Silly kittens.

Untill one day, he walked past her, hissed, and she reached out and smacked him upside the head - literally, I saw it - ever since then they been ok. ^_^ Even doing the cute 'lets tie ourselves into a kitty-knot' type laying togeather.

Alas. They're still stuck with us til they mellow out.
