Just about 24 hours after I wrote that glowing review of Francoise, our new cat, I regret to write that we've come to the sad realization that Francoise was made to be an only cat.
All of the nice things about her are still true. But what I didn't mention is that she is extremely aggressive toward Buffy and Boomer, to the point where Boomer just hides all day and has even gotten snappy with us. Francoise also marks her territory on the bed when she has had fights with the other cats.
Bottom line is that as much as I love her and want to keep her forever, I don't think it's working out. She will make a wonderful companion for whoever can take her, but she just can't be in a home with other cats.
So if there's anyone reading this that wants a wonderful little cat who is very affectionate toward people, please give Francoise a home! She's so sweet and deserves a home where she can feel safe and not agitated all the time.
Like the meat products of the same description, this blog is composed of thoughts, activities, and whatever else I feel like crammed into a grinder whole and then washed with ammonia and dyed to look edible.

Three Cats.
We got a third cat a couple weeks ago. It was one of those sob stories where she was just too rambunctious for her own good and a little bitey, so they were gonna give her the chair. Or at least, they were going to give her the municipal animal shelter equivalent of "The Chair." That was the implication anyway.
So now Daniel and I have three cats. She's an incredibly sweet little thing, and a good ten times smarter than either of the other cats. Her purr is so loud you can hear it from across the room, and her fur is soft and silky. She also really loves to be picked up and to be around people. She does bite a bit, but she doesn't do it hard anymore, just softly and playfully. She's had two accidents, one poop and one pee, but nothing for a week or so.
We are that crazy couple with all the cats.
