Thanks for the replies, Jeanie and Hissy. Grushenka and Tatyana are progressing in their adaptation. They will now come out and look down at the retriever from the top of the stairs--ready to scurry back into the bedroom should he indicate any sign that he has seen them. They are so very different in personality. Grushenka is bigger, more gregarious and adventuresome---a true extrovert. Tatyana seems a bit frail, shyer and quieter in general. She is the talker, and the one to follow me first and sit on me first should I light anywhere. She also eats less than Grushenka.
Jeanie--am still with the program--four months, three weeks and two days--even made it through the loss of my beloved 15 month old Rottie. She went into kidney failure, was on and off IV for two weeks without any improvement. She just woke up one morning, vomiting. BUN and creatine were way above normal and a sonogram showed bilateral congenital kidney disease. She was very tiny at birth and remained small--but still too large for her malformed kidneys to eliminate the wastes. That makes me worry about Tatyana---also small.....anyway, both cats will be examined by the vet this week. Again, thanks for replying. [email protected] Ha!--put both a sweaty tee shirt and one of Gatsby's towels under the bed. May have helped, as the kittens slept on my bed next to Gatsby's crate last night.
