Sharing Daddy's Lap

After a few days of hisses, growls, and bad tempers, Paddle has begrudgingly accepted little Ming Toy. Ming was brave tonight and jumped up onto Jim's lap while Paddle was lying there. At least Paddle didn't chase her away. Progress! The other two have yet to be civil to the new kitten, and it's really sad. She wants to play in the worst way. It may take a few more days before everybody starts napping together in a pussy pile.

Ming is proving to be a very sweet little cat. She's well behaved, mostly, and very affectionate. Big eyes take everything in as she figures out where she fits in. Good appetite, uses her litter box, plays with various toys, although she doesn't put them away yet. Doesn't quite have the retrieval concept down, but I think she'll catch on soon. All in all, she's great fun. Now if only the boys would quit the macho attitude...
