Ever since Sasha joined our group, she has been trying to make friends with old cat Mollie. She is so tenacious about it that I often wonder if Mollie looks like (or smells like) her real life cat mom. She doesn’t do this with either of the grays although they are playmates.
Mollie is an old cat that is tired of all the shenanigans of a younger one. She will womp Sasha on the head when it gets too annoying (which is at least once or twice every day). Sasha calms down but doesn’t leave and the womp isn’t a hard one. More of a message. Lately Sasha has been making headway on this friendship (or Mollie is just giving up as it’s easier to let Sasha snuggle next to her than chase her off the bed).
This picture happened seconds after a head womp. Mollie must have felt a little bad about it.
This was taken a little later and it looks like they are doing OK. That blue throw is prime real estate. Very soft and they both like to knead it.
Everyone here (is astonished that it’s Friday already!) wishes you all a great weekend!

At some point even the kindest cat just wants a little uninterrupted space and time. Mollie may be considering Shasha as worthy of sharing – once in a while.
Maybe an allowed snuggle in the future…just to shake off the chill…no favoritism intended…yet.
Cute

Maybe. Mollie is starting to show her age. Worries me.

Yeah, some of them are wise about that and quietly start interviewing potentials for RC (resident cat/canine) training so the Realm will continue when they wish to retire and watch from the warm sunny spot.

I love the these pictures. And the Mollie doesn’t seem to mind Sash one bit. It has to take a lot of patience on your part to get these photos! Although my two seem far more willing to share the same house as they used too, they still can go at each other pretty good.

There is some ear nipping that goes one but nothing serious. No one draws blood. Sasha can be annoying when one of them is trying to nap.

Maybe because her fur is black all around her eyes, she often photographs wide-eyed. One of her adoring traits.

I used to do some cat sitting for friends. It was always fun. I would take some toys and tire them out so when I left they would sleep it off and not be too lonely.
