Tiffany the Smiling, Laid Back Girl

Hello Catherine Tiffany is doing great We call her Libby now. Our family associated the name Tiffany with a "purebred" longhair kitty and we are all about shelter kitties. Hope that's okay, no offense intended to anyone! She has settled in beautifully. At first, our other cats were not playing very nice, but her mellow personality didn't threaten them and it took much shorter than I thought it would for them all to understand each other. My mom (who lives with us) has a very rambunctious 6 year old male who my other 2 females (ages 8 & 9) can't stand, but he and Libby are buddies. Before Libby came to live with us, we used to have to put him in "lock up" in my mom's suite from time to time because he annoyed the other 2 so much. Our house has been an older cat household for quite some time before we brought Libby home We are really enjoying how much she loves to play, so naturally she has plenty of toys. She brings us her toys as presents, and jumps to places we haven't seen a cat jump to in a long time. Her virus is much better. Her eye has cleared up nicely. She still does sneeze quite a bit, but it seems to be part of who she is, and the other cats did not catch it. The "hot spot" she had is getting smaller and smaller. Her appetite, on the other hand, has gotten bigger and bigger. She has discovered wet food. My family swears she has gained weight since coming to live with us. Truthfully, I think she has, but how can I not love seeing her fat and happy? She loves clean clothes. My husband calls her the laundry kitty, because wherever there is clean laundry, she finds it. She loves to be pet and loves to be brushed, and has a very loud purr that she is generous with, which we love! It does appear we had to earn her trust, though. Sometimes she would shrink back from a pat like she thought she was going to be hurt. So, it's been nice to watch her confidence increase almost to the point where my one daughter calls her an attention hog and Libby will talk to you and demand to be pet. Which of course we are happy to oblige. So your original question was how she is settling in and I probably gave you way too much information, but we want you to know she is safe, happy and loved in her forever home. It is late at night after a crazy day, but I did want to get back to you when I had more than 2 minutes to devote to answering you. Now I must go because Libby was laying next to me while I was writing to you but my husband has carried her off to bed with him. Off I go because that is MY kitty he just made off with! Thank you so much for checking up on us. You do amazing work there, and I tell anyone who will listen. Nancy
