Fortunately, they won't have to put up with this situation for long. My brother has already found an awesome apartment in Peterborough, a few miles from here, on 5 acres of land and abutting a conservation area. Unfortunately, his philosophy differs from mine, so they will have to be wary of coyotes, raccoon's, foxes, fisher cats, cat hating humans, hawks, owls, etc. This one actually survived a large predator attack and has a scar on top of her head as a souvenir. She disappeared for a couple weeks according to my brother and came back with a swollen head and a puncture wound on top of her skull.

No, actually this was right after I booted my brother out so I could start the integration process. She was hyperventilating and panting very bad this first day. Now they're all in the ignore each other or stare at each other phase. Storm of course, was the one who gingerly went over and touched noses before running away in terror.

That face says "Thanks you for saving me, I love you forever for it!" that face is why we do what we do, as cat "slaves". That little soul right there, is a LOT older and wiser than 2 months, in case you don't see it there. In fact, she looks at us as the babies. Enjoy and cherish your little Angel!

These are my brother's two 12 year old girls, Squirrley on the left, and Mischeif. I am babysitting them while my brother moves from Upstate NY and gets a place here. They are pretty stressed, as they have been outdoor cats all their lives, so the sudden change to an enclosed area with no woods isn't good right now.

The daily routine, when I come home from work every morning. The cats greet each other like they're meeting for the first time, and then treat me like I've been away for months, and then settle down into Tranquility Mode, before getting a case of the Crazies and burning off the energy of 18 hours of sleep.
