I want to express my appreciation to everyone who offered emotional support, while I attempt to sort things out with all of my furkids.

Princess is apparently content to stay inside, as even if I open the door, she doesn't attempt to even be interested in what is going on outside. The same goes for Amy cat -what a little sweetheart!. Very loyal and affectionate. I can't imagine anyone willfully giving her up, especially to roam the streets. Their loss, my gain!

It is not unusual for me to be surrounded by 5 or 6 furkids every morning when I get out of bed. The only one who avoids the bunch is Princess. I am trying to train her to feel accepted and to sleep on the bed with the others. Amy is the most reliable and usually the first on the covers. The others follow suit later in the night. Although she does not appreciate others being too close, she is becoming more tolerant with their presence, without her loud "scrowel". She even allowed Princess' tail to be on her pillow near the keyboard without a protest, while I was administering "scritchies" to Princess the other day. Progress is slow with Amy because she was an only household pet.

Now I found out the Ophelia is under attack from Mama cat. I don't know where she is now, but next time she comes in, she will definitely be made to stay inside, considering her spay appointment is due Wednesday.
