Just a quick post to let people know I got a second cat.

Basically the vet said that my first cat, Daantje, was miaowing so much because she wanted social contact and advised to get a second cat. Which I immediately did of course. I say it's for Daantje but secretly I wanted another one anyway.

So I went to the rescue center and got Mila. She's 8 months old and was found completely shaven and painted! You'd think with a background like that she'd shy away from people but that's definitely not the case. She would be the perfect play mate for Daantje.

There's just one flaw in this otherwise brilliant plan...

Daantje doesn't seem to like Mila being in 'her' territory. Lots of hissing and growling ensued -only from Daantje with Mila just looking confused- and they had to be separated. So now I have a slow relationship-building process to look forward to. Lots of treats, soothing words and valerian herbs for Daantje (yeah dope that baby up lol) and lots playing with Mila to let her know it's alright. I have to make this work cos I'm already attached to Mila and I couldn't bear having to return her to the rescue center. Everyone keep their fingers crossed for me!

I have the day off and it's bliss! Just got up, the sun is shining, I'm eating freshly baked croissants and I don't have to do anything.

Well, that's not actually true. I have an appointment at the veterinarian. Not for me no, but that was a very funny joke you made there. There's nothing actually wrong with my cat (besides the mentalness and as far as I can tell) but I thought it would be a good idea to just have her checked out. It'll be hell trying to get her into her carrier though. Like most cats she's not especially fond of it.
