Why yes, that is Ruthven, Vlad, and Erzabet all sitting on the couch together.

Ruthven and Vlad taking a nap!
Trinian, on the other hand, is Not Amused Even A Little Bit. To the point of growling freak-outs. So now she's on Xanax, as per our vet, and she's also wearing a kitty pheromone collar. Those two things seem to be making a big difference, thank goodness.
But Ruthven? Ruthven has other kitties to play scamper-around-the-house with. Ruthven has other kitties to warble at. Which is what we were hoping for.
Vlad and Erzabet have become even more snuggly than previously. Vlad's favorite thing to do is fall asleep on people. Erzabet will herd me to a chair so she can be petted. This makes me very, very happy.

In other news, paging all gothy makeup fiends: One of MAC's new fall limited edition lipsticks, "Prince Noir", is a dead-on duplicate of the long-discontinued Goth staple "Verushka". Now if they'd only make the color part of the permanent collection, dammit!

Really glad things are working out. I do feel bad for Trinian, though. (Issues with upsetting the delicate political balance of our household are why we've never brought another cat home, even though there have been a couple of candidates who were near-impossible to walk away from.)

How are you making the MAC site work? Everything is taking 40 years to load and being really annoyingly flashy and complicated when it does. Is there a less irritating place to look at their products?

Ruthven must be a big overgrown kitten...

We found that the Feliway plugin was a gift handed down directly from God; it not only eased the adjustment period between Fionn and Cupid so much that it took something like a day and a half, but before, when Inky's cats were here, her so-neurotic-she-lives-under-the-bed cat Seti would actually come out and take hits off of the diffuser, and then sit out in the living room as if we weren't big scary monsters or something.
