new baby!

You must be so excited to have the little one home finally! I'm sure Opie will come around sooner or later and they will become best of friends.

How exciting to have a new baby! Have you picked out any names? As long as Opie isn't being aggressive he should be ok with her. I can't wait for pictures of the little doll!

When I got home, from work, the baby was ripping and tearing, through the house. I had fixed up a temporary box, with shredded paper. She had strung that all over the laundry and Arizona rooms. After I cleaned that up, she proceeded to do somersaults and drag Bill's dirty work clothes, out of the basket. She has, now, been christened: Rowdy.

Hahahahahaha! Rowdy sounds like the perfect name for a playful little kitten!

Sounds like the name fits her well! How is Opie doing with little Rowdy? Is he adjusting better to her being around?

Rowdy is a cute name! Can't wait to see pics!

Opie, still, has his nose out of joint. The house wasn't trashed, so I guess things went well, while we were at work. The post-op instructions said: "Do not allow running, jumping, climbing or wrestling." How am I supposed to do that, short of breaking her legs? She has, literally, been doing somersaults and "skating" on the vinyl floor. Since she, obviously, feels well and her incision is OK, I'm going to let her do whatever she wants to. Opie got PO'd, when he saw her in (and I mean IN) the food bowl so, he ate the kitten chow that I'd put down. He'll show her! We have doubled our entertainment. :laughing: :laughing2

nothing like a baby to get the eldest "child's" nose out of joint. Rowdy sounds like a little bundle of energy - I am sure she will win over Opie in no time. One day you will come home from work and they will be curled up asleep together. Can't wait for the pics.

Rowdy doing well. We have had to put her in the bathroom, for a couple of nights. She wants to play on our bed and bite toes and butts - at 3:00 AM! Since Bill and I, both, get up early, to go to work, this does not work. We're hoping that she calms down, as she gets older. Opie sleeps all night. He and Rowdy are getting along, better. They have been bumping noses. Rowdy like to sneak up on Opie and head-butt him. Last night, both of them sat in the bathroom and watched Bill and me in the shower. They can't quite figure out what we're doing in there. Rowdy likes to do laps, in the tub and, of course, she can't do that when someone's using it. Finished off my roll of film. As soon as its developed, I'll post pix. Am buying a digital camera, next payday, to get up-to-the-minute pix of Rowdy's development.

Rowdy just had her checkup. All systems are GO. She did not appreciate having her temp taken or having her ears looked into. Incision healing nicely. Energy level and appetite off the high end of the scale. Looks like we can look forward to many years, with her. Film is at the developers so, should have pix to post, soon.

Good to hear she's doing well, can't wait for pictures!

Rowdy didn't get incarcerated, last night. She came to bed, snuggled up and slept, most of the night. A couple of times, she woke Bill or me up, by licking our faces but a few strokes settled her back down. Opie decided to come back to bed, last night, too. We had the whole family piled into a queen-sized bed. Opie, even, shared the LaZBoy, with Rowdy, this morning. I knew he'd come around. I have to shut her out of the computer room, though. She's discovered my running cat cursor and wants to chase it. This kitty has, definitely, earned her name!

Awwww! How sweet of Opie to share with her. And you can't really get mad at little Rowdy for giving kitty kisses at night. I love it when both my babies sleep with us. It can get a little crowded (even on a queen sized bed!) but waking up to furries always starts the day off well.

This is just the first, of several. I wanted to get one up, right away.

What a gorgeous face!! The name even fits her look!! Quite a cutie pie you have on your hands there.

What a little doll!!!

I can see why she had to come home with you. She would have had to come home with me too!

What beautiful markings! She's a real cutie.

She loves her daddy!

Uh oh! I see she's taken part of Opie's spot! :tounge2: (She's too little right now to take the whole lap!)

She, really, gets into eating.
