New cat in town.......

We've got a new cat. His name is Sunny. He's a one year old orange tabby cat. He's got a couple bad habits that we'll have to break him of, but overall, he's a very loving and affectionate cat.

Kali 3.6 learned the hard way that kitties (she was the one that wanted a cat) do have claws. She was goofing around and wasn't nice to the kitty. He stuck her in the leg. She came to Daddy saying "I don't want a cat anymore!" Grandma and Grandpa were even on Skype at the time to watch it all unfold.

As Kali has learned since then, cats are much different than dogs. They have different needs and you have to handle them differently than you would a dog. She has done a much better job of late being nice to the kitty. They're now good buddies.

Tinkerbell 1.10 has also learned about how to treat a cat. She promptly received a couple of swats on the snout with her first advances. But she's learned to give the kitty some space and they actually will sit within a couple of feet of each other. They're both doing very well under the circumstances.
