Meet Sammi

[justalurkr]

My parents, a few days ago: You should wait awhile before adopting another cat. Like, until after you've visited us at Thanksgiving.
Me, today: Yeah, waiting isn't really working for me.





Rodney, today: HISSSSS grrrrrrrrr SSSSssssSSSSsss grrr
Sammi, today: Srsly? (stalks off)

I guess it's okay when the cat is the stranger -- Veronica and Rodney were gleeful when I brought them home. Elmer and Veronica in her turn? Not so much. Since Sammi is a grown woman (four years or so according to the shelter people,) she's having a hard time with Sir Hissy Fit. As in, a hard time taking him seriously. :D

I suspect Sammi will show him who's boss, but that's only because personal experience watching Johnny scare the stuffing out of Abe just by looking at him.

I've been waiting for the Big Showdown with bated breath, but it could be these two are just not all that aggressive. Rodney looks surprised every time Sammi backs away from a hiss, and Sammi just backs away if Rodney is more than three feet away. She looks a little embarrassed for him. :)

She's cute! Congratulations on the new member of your family! :)

There is a tuxedo dog in your icon. :D (love)

And thank you -- Sammi is already coming out of her shell a bit.

I love tuxedo cats! They are very chill kitties! She is lovely. :)

Please tell Rodney to get over his big, bad self. ;)

Thanks! I love her, too.

Rodney has been...encouraged...to get over his Mr. Hissy Fit self. Between how much of a thrill he got from actually making another cat back away and the fact that Sammi doesn't know I'm scolding him, it's been a fine line to walk.
