Yesterday Kim suggested that we head on over to the SPCA, this is always a bad sign--she walks in the door and wants to take all of them home immediately. We finally make it to the cat room, of course I made it there about 5 minutes before she did (she was busy in the puppy room), and started looking around. For 1 1/2 years we have been looking for another cat so Daiquiri can have some company. Amazingly enough we found one. She is 2 1/2 years old, declawed, spayed, has had all her shots, been dewormed, and received flea treatment--in other words she is all taken care of. Now we are going through the adjustment period. There is currently a ton of hissing, growling, lunging etc.. going on and the cats are angry at each other too. Just kidding, about Kim and I anyway. All this is to be expected and should run it's course within a month. It's really hard though because we are trying to make the new kitty (she doesn't have a name yet) feel comfortable and make it so Daiquiri doesn't feel like she is being replaced. This sounds much easier than it actually is. They just need to establish dominance etc... and then everything will even out. Both cats are friendly and pretty mellow so it should work out OK. Unfortunately with cats this is just kind of the way things go. The new kitty seems to understand that Daiquiri was here first and that she in the new kitty and is just going to be on the recieving and of some bullshit for a little while. Neither cat has reacted too terribly so it's no big deal--hopefully anyway, but you never can tell for sure.

In case anyone got rid of their copy of Nirvana's Nevermind like I did and wants to buy a new copy (or a first copy), Best Buy has it on sale for $9.99.
