Ellie has found a new friend...AJ.
AJ has never been allowed into the kitchen, 1) because its Ellie's house, 2) because the kitchen is dangerous and the only un-child-proofed thing, 30 because when you're in the living room you can't see into the kitchen and I don't like that.
After, I penned Ellie up in her pen, I still had the baby gate up because AJ just doesn't need to be in the kitchen. I wound up having to take it down because I needed it for the front room and Annie. So now AJ has free roam in the kitchen. Jesus, what a learning experience this has been for me!
So at first he was super excited about being in the kitchen, touching everything, in all the cabinets. CONSTANTLY MESSING WITH ELLIE. I just knew for sure that he was going to get a finger bitten off. I had a talk with him, told him he can't be mean to her, can't pull her ears, can't hit her, can't scream at her.
Then it happened. The other night we were all standing in the kitchen and we look over and Ellie is standing up at the side of her pen and AJ is petting her head. Her eyes were CLOSED! She was so happy! She even did a little headflick away from him! Now whenever he goes in there she stays right around the sides of the pen and wants him to pet her. I told him not to put his fingers in the holes of the pen, but he does anyway, shes so gentle with him! If I put my finger in her pen, she would bite me. LOL
I think its a pretty good thing!
AND she is staying flopped around us now! I can walk into the kitchen now and she'll stay totally flopped out, its so great! I got her a new box and I think she really likes it. She has this tendency to eat the bottoms out of the boxes and then I flip them over and she eats the other side. So the boxes end up looking like donuts. But when they don't have a top, its the funniest thing, because we can see her and she puts her head up through the top of the box like "up periscope, down periscope". Rabbity comic gold.
Anyway, she seems content in her new pen.
Stanley on the other hand, is THE most aggressive cat I've ever seen. Seriously, he just attacks all the other cats. Got into a massive fight with my fat cat last night, there is fur everywhere in my bedroom its terrible! My poor fat cat peed on herself! I had the door open to the front room to let Annie in and out. AJ was on Stanley guard duty, were he shunts Stanley back into the front room. LOL Anyway, we were making macaroni art when I asked my husband where Stanley was, not even 1 minute later, we heard the cat fight! I was like, "oh guess we found Stanley!" Ran up stairs and they're rolling around shredding fur and screaming, it was terrible. Got Stanley back in the front room and he went to sleep. What a jerk! I don't understand what his problem is, I've never seen a cat so aggressive to other cats. But hes fine with people and dogs. He eve lets AJ pick him up! Its so strange.
Woody just got up, so I'm going to take him and Annie outside. This will be her first morning walk!
