After all the drama of moving...OMG Irene wriggled out of my arms when she saw the carrier and took off. I took off after her, tried to stuff her back in and she escaped again! More chasing ensued. That poor kittie ROFLMAO I was both terrified and humored by her reaction. She was hissing at me and SNORTING!! OMG Fine cat. I stuffed her in her carrier and put her on the commode so she could see what was going on but was clearly in another room. She mewed a few times but I just let her go.
It took about an hour and a half to load the van. When I put her into my van to drive The Long Road To The Big House (all of four miles) she settled into her carrier, allbeit flassing dirty looks at me. We arrived at The Manor. I put her in the laundry room where I thought she'd feel safe but could still see out the door. She just curled up and seemed to settle down.
Finally....it was time to Let The Cat Out. Oh fun times. She explored her new world with much caution but curiosity. Long story short she was funny as hell and still is this morning. She ate last night and PEED IN HER BOXIE (thank you, Universe and Bast). She even pretty much let me sleep all night, including sleeping with me in bed for a while.
This morning she is ALL OVER this house, chirring and mewing and following me around like a shadow...then off to explore. Oh so funny. I will post pics as Her Serene Royal Screwball will pose.
