The trip to pick up Ms. Juni will be 5 hours each way, so I should be home in the afternoon. The last time I went there was to pick up Graemer and Miley. They were so quiet on the way home.... I hope Juni will be the same. Some how I think she will be scared without having a buddy with her. Makes me want to pick up TWO....but TWO are not available.

Last evening I spent 1 1/2 hours on the phone with a former Bengal breeder and she was oh so helpful. It seems that Ti may not be able to change..... but we think we should give him the chance to deal with Juni and play it out.

Also last evening Ti wiggled his face into the computer room door opening and went right for Miley. She ran, leaving a trail of poop all over the bedroom floor and then in the bathtub. It was all over her too, but she took care of that. He tangled with her (and she with him) for a good three minutes until I finally scared him off to the other part of the house. It was like the Indy 500, cat style. No one was hurt. The rug took a beating.... I didn't have the best smelling bedroom....thank goodness I have windows galore in the place.

Anyway, last night I was ready to call it quits with Ti. I still hope that he will give up the fight, but it surely isn't looking like it. He was oh so determined to get Miley last night. He bolted right past me like a heat-seeking missle.

The retired breeder told me to stay with the kitten and Ti for every minute, not allowing him to act up, if at all possible. She seems to think that Ti is just filled with energy and needs an outlet. I think he is a bully. We shall see.

The breeder also mentioned that she would find me a good home for him if it did not work out. That is more than the original breeder would do. Once this settles down, I am going to write to the original breeder with my complaints and turn her into the TICA folks. The retired breeder said she was embarrassed by
Ti's breeder's attitude and unprofessionalism. You live and learn.

Anyway, Ms. Juni will be welcomed with open arms by me. If necessary, Ti will be banished from my house if he starts acting ugly with Juni Rose. He will have one last chance. Poor guy.
