Finally Friday...

... and finally I get to introduce myself! It took me a while to get used to the computer and this whole blogging thing, you know. Apart from that I had to defend myself over the first week from this Grizzly I am living with...

So, hello world!

The Grizzly, ehem, I mean Siena, was tagged by The Creek Cats and by The Poupounette to do the 8 random things meme. We thought it would be a good idea for me to do it, too.
So here are almost 8 random facts about me:
1. My name is Chilli. I came to live here with Siena and the human exactly two weeks ago.
2. My birthdate is unknown but it is estimated for mid August.
3. I am Italian. Hihi, my mom was looking for a Norwegian name, 'cos Siena, the Norwegian Forest Cat, has an Italian name, so I, the Italian cat, should get a Norwegian one. Got it? Then she wanted to name me after a word verification but Groot, Stistspa or Ursnoiti resulted too difficult. Phew...
4. "Chilli" may not suit my fur colour but it does suit my temperament! Mom says that I'm a completly different character than Siena and will need more "education". Whatever that means!?
5. I am a dilute calico. My furs are grey, cream and white.6. I was brought to Germany with my sister, but my new mom never met her. Here's a photo of us together. She has exactly the same colours as I have.7. My eyes are small and kind of close together, which gives me a cool sly expression at times. Watch out, there's mischief coming up!8a. My favourite toy at present is this tube with the "hat" of an acorn inside. It was Siena's favourite too, but she can't get into it anymore! Hahahaha! The bad thing is that Siena often gives me biteys in my butt when I am in there.8b. But don't you worry: I have my means of defence!
I will leave you with a really fresh photo our mom did just now. Don't tell Siena that I actually LIKE her washing my ears. She is obsessed with washing me, obsessed, I tell you!

Happy Friday efurryone! And lots of purrs, Chilli.

Mom here:
Things are going good here in wintery Cologne as Siena has chosen to accept the little one. Hooray! However, the small one is totally hissed off because we just returned from the vet where she got her chip. I am hissed off too because the vet told me that she HASN'T got the leucosis vaccination, which I was told she had but has ear mites and an ear infection "instead". I am very mad at the rescue organisation! I trusted them with the vaccinations and made an extra point on the importance of the leucosis immunisation as to not endanger Siena. They told me she had it. Apart from the danger, it's an expensive vaccine around here! They also manipulated her age and she seems to be younger than what they told me... Oh well, I guess the most important thing is to get her all healthy asap. I still don't think it's very professional of them!Siena:
Talking about health: You all might know already that my lovely Sister in Floof Momo isn't feeling well. We keep all paws crossed here and are purring for her to get better right away! Please do so too, if you're not already doing it. Thank you!

Thankful Thursday

Wordless Wednesday

Grrrrrrr

This picture sums up my recent mood. You know what happened? I got what I wanted and now I'm having second thoughts. I always pestered my mom that I am so bored when she is not at home and that she should find me a friend OR turn me loose on the outdoors. Well, she got me a little friend and so far I hate her! I am so busy hissing, growling, chasing, pouncing and putting the bitey on her that my mom says, she is not going to help me blog 'til things have settled down a bit. Hopefully I can still come and visit!

****************
Mom here: The new one is a street-wise kitten from a rescue-organisation, which behaved very friendly the first hours. Naturally, Siena growled at here the first evening. The second day the new one growled and hissed back. On the third day, Sunday, Siena began chasing her, holding her down and biting her. I try to get the little one some rest and supervise that things don't get too serious. I am a bit anxious though, that they won't settle down some day and that Siena will really hurt her. The newbie doesn't hide or something and comes purring towards me, but I noticed that she is stressed because she smells a bit "strong"- like if her glands were transpiring anxiety. I brush and stroke them alternatly and feed them separatly... I prepared myself theoretically but now I'm unsure if I should intervene or let them sort things out. If you'd share your experiences with me, I would be so happy...
