It wouldn't take long for her to be accepted.

Carys probably takes to Sian for both reasons you mentioned. It's an interesting thing to observe, they way each newbie is also a relative of one of the already there crowd. It might be that the closest relative takes to the newbie most because they somehow recognize the relationship.

Like we'll ever know for sure.

Your plans for the day sound good, it's till early and you don't want to have a bad experience looking for her when you get home if she choose to hide.

I put up a baby gate, which she immediately started to climb. So I hung a slick, cardboard yard sign over the gate. I can easily get over it and the kidcats can jump it.

Meanwhile I'll do a check around the house to make sure there's nothing dangerous to her (like chemical cleaners NOT behind cupboard doors) and then see how she does. I'll still keep her separate at feeding time so that the big kids don't steal her food.

So much to think about but so much to enjoy!

And yes, it’s going to be, and it is, really fine. You made this, and you do beautiful work, my dear.
That love, that concern, that caring, and that kindness ripples across DU and into our lives like when a stone is tossed into the lake.

I’d like to be rescued by you, Siwsan.

I also want to be one of Siwsan’s kittens.
