...and I dont mean Amy and Alex, I mean Mary Ann and I, who are now the proud grandparents of a brand new kitten named Gyptian. Amy and Alex got him a few days ago, and he is about as cute as a button! I dont mean to imply that Amy and Alex arent happy, because they are, but well, to be blunt, this blog is all about me.
We had pictured this little cute thing that is quiet and sleepy - after all his older "sister" Ashley (actually not related) is like that - a little shy, very vocal, but otherwise quiet and sedate, even regal. Gyptian on the other hand is 100mph cute. He is afraid of nothing, and lives his life as if everything is new, fun and adventurous - hey, maybe I ought to look at things that way!
Ashley seems to have taken the new arrival as older sisters sometimes do - she wants nothing to do with him and views him as an invading force that has disrupted her quiet peaceful lifestyle. My one experience with the two of them together (Gyptian in a crate) involved Ashley wanting to leave the room but being afraid to look away from the danger, and when we picked her up and brought her within sight of the crate she began to hiss - something Ive never heard her do before. In the long run I think that Gyptian will be good for Ashley, but the adjustment period will be a little slow.
In the meantime, while Amy and Alex go through the yin and yang of a life change, Mary Ann and I can just be proud grandparents.
