We’re survivors – our first visitors
Booooring! No wonder Tessa is yawning, I haven’t blogged for ages!
Although our last week wasn’t boring at all: two very close friends of mine stayed with us for some days. Guess how nervous I was! Especially Kajsa was very shy at the shelter, and would always hide when people had a look at their cage. I needed 3 days until she left her hiding spot, so I was sure we wouldn’t see her so much.
Well, they proved me wrong. Both were social and seemed to enjoy the extra attention. 3 pairs of hands to boss around!
I was so happy and finally invited my little neighbor over. She’s 9 years old, and she’s been asking me about them ever since I told her that I’ve adopted cats. She’s now coming every day and plays with them – they love her! I’ve to admit that I like my new cat sitter as well. It’s fun playing with Kajsa and Tessa for some time, but I get bored after 10 minutes. I try to make it up by playing many times for 10 minutes, but my neighbor-from-heaven could play the whole day if I let her.
I guess they’re ok with visitors, because they feel secure here. It’s so great to see that they aren’t that scared and shy anymore! My neighbor isn’t allowed to be in my bedroom, because I wanted to give Kajsa and Tessa a safe and quiet room. However, they don’t seem to need my bedroom, because they stay in the kitchen when she’s here. Kajsa was even falling asleep whilst my neighbor was playing with Tessa!
I needed some days off, but we’re back now! Thank you, Silke, for asking us how we’re doing. I’m very tired, and the cats need a lot of time, medication and attention.

That’s awesome that they’ve really settled in and are allowing their true personalities to show!

Thank you! I’m so glad that they’re are feeling at home! Ok, I sometimes wish they would consider me their landlady (and thus follow all the rules) 😀

Es ist immer wieder spannend zu beobachten, wie Katzen sich entwickeln, wenn sie endlich ein richtiges Zuhause haben – deinen Mädels scheint die Sonne nur so aus den Pfötchen zu scheinen 😉
Bei unserer Frau Schmitz war’s genau andersrum – sie ist bei der Katzenhilfe immer zu allen Besuchern hingelaufen und hat geschnurrt und ihr Köpfchen gerieben, so richtig nach dem “Ich bin lieb, nimm’ mich mit!”-Prinzip.
Bei uns daheim beachtet sie Besucher höchstens dann, wenn sie ein Leckerchen in der Hand haben…scheint so als hätte sie das Lieb-Sein jetzt nicht mehr nötig 😉

Hehe. Frau Schmitz weiss halt ihre Energien richtig einzusetzen. Lustig, wie unterschiedlich das alles sein kann!!

It is great that they have settled down and started to relax. Days off are sometimes necessary to get revitalized. Cheers!

Hi! Thank you for visiting my blog, I haven’t come across your blog before!
It was great to take some days off(line), but it’s fun being back now!

They both seem to be settling in very well! Also you seem more relaxed too 🙂 how wonderful to have a ready made pet player/sitter!! It’s a win win!

He, true, I’m not that hysterical anymore. We almost made it through the first month, and they’re still alive!

It’s so great that they welcomed visitors so readily. Y’know, we’re not as welcoming for guests that come here. 🙂

You should reconsider your behavior! Guests are great slaves! Humans can’t resist us cats, and they’d do anything to get our attention.

Nice to see you back and I am glad the kitties are doing so well. 🙂

What a wonderful young neighbour you have! Glad to hear your furbabies are settling in so well. They are lucky to have you.

Thank you! I love my neighbor, it’s so sad that her family will move in a month.
