Winnie is getting a new sister

She won't arrive for a couple of weeks because we are going to Tennessee to do a gem show, but I looked over the barn cats yesterday and picked out a lovely patched tabby and white shorthair who is about Vicky's size and comes out to survey the situation frequently. Her shelter name is Maya but I plan to change it to Josephine, aka Josie. She'll have to stay in a crate for a few weeks so she and Winnie can get used to each other and she knows where home is and who feeds her. I anticipate a lot of hissing and swearing and "Yo Mama" commentary at first, but I imagine they'll work it out.

Winnie is extremely po'd at me today because I visited upon her the Drops of Afflicition, otherwise known as Catego, when she came to breakfast. Tough, kiddo. It's better than the fleas.

With the dogs, it's a pill (one and done) but with the cats, it's a tug of war, and sometimes a scruff to get them to stay still long enough to get the drops on.
