Wow! just listen to what your gorgeous girls are doing Stephanie! You must be so proud!


I'm so happy to hear that they are getting on well - this is such a big adjustment for Sierra. Don't worry about the little swats - that will end soon. The important thing is she's back to sleeping with you and is tolerating little Serenity just fine. She's just reminding you that when Serenity chirps, there's another big kitty that wants your attention too (not that I think she's deprived of that at all
).

Keep up the good work - I hope you get through cleaning soon.

Might I suggest "Angel to Sierra and Stephanie"? I doubt you'll go for it but it definitely seems fitting.


I'm so excited for you and got such a smile on my face while reading the progress (a hard thing to do while at work at 7am)!
Sounds like things are going fabulously and I'm addicted now - can't wait to hear what happens next, they both sound adorable and we definitely need to see pictures of Serenity and Sierra.

I'm sorry Sierra gave you swats, but she's just a little jealous is all. She will get used to this new little furball and is doing wonderfully so far.
Kisses to your two girls from all of us!

Y'know, Stephanie, it's probably been easier for Sierra to accept the new "situation" while away from home. I have a feeling it might have taken much longer and been more traumatic if she'd been confronted with a new room-mate on her own turf.

Hooray for more progress! I love the last update! How awesome that they're getting to tolerate one another!!!

I can't wait to see pictures! No hurry, though, just make sure you keep the updates coming!

Definitely, Sam!


Thank you for the update, Stephanie!
I am pleased that Sierra is not tolerating Serenity - I am sure things will improve in no time! Things are progressing so well already!


Good luck with your case and getting back home!
and lots of good thoughts for you all!

Loving my beautiful baby girl
We're finally home!
I remain so honored that you guys continue to check in on us! Thank you guys so much for your reassurance and advice, and also your patience with us since we've been out of town and away from our regular computer!

Sierra didn't enjoy the trip home one bit, poor little baby.
Serenity slept the entire way! When we arrived home, Serenity had a blast exploring her new home, fascinated by every item! Sierra immediately made herself at home, and is now being much more territorial of her space and favorite spots, although not with the anxiety of before. Serenity certainly listens to her big sister, too!
We have had only 3 hisses and one warning swat from Sierra since we arrived home late last night/early this morning. I feel really great about this, because previously, Sierra was just anxious most of the time and protecting her personal space, although no where in particular, just wherever she was. I felt so sad to see her behaving in a submissive manner, and now I feel so much better that she is taking more of a dominant role. Remember I mentioned about Sierra backing up from her own food and letting Serenity eat it? Well, that's not about to happen here! That was one of our hisses~when Serenity attempted to get to Sierra's food as she was eating. Serenity backed off ever so quickly! Serenity is also not allowed in any of Sierra's favorite locations to sleep or just preside as Queen of her domain!
I'm so proud of my girls for how well they are adjusting!

At this moment, Sierra is sleeping at my right arm as usual, and Serenity is running wildly about the house!
I'm in the prgress of selecting the best wet food for Serenity, selecting the best new kennel for Sierra since Serenity will be getting Sierra's, as well as shopping around for Sierra's 11th Birthday on the 27th of this month!

Thank you guys for caring so much for us, your caring, encouragement and support mean the world to us!

Pictures to follow!

Oh Stephanie, that is all so wonderful to hear!!!
Sounds like Sierra and Serenity are establishing/learning their bounds at home and really adjusting to it all so well. I'm so happy for you and your girls and am VERY eagerly awaiting pictures!

Here is Serenity in her box from back when my girls needed to be separated.




What a perfect little pose!



Lots of fun with one of her favorite toys!




Here she is in her fun paper bag batting around a little ball!
The moment Serenity left the bag, Sierra hopped in to prove this, in fact, was her bag!




Such a little lady with her arms crossed in front of her!




This one is just absolutely precious!




Thank you guys so much for caring about my baby girls!
