the meeting

samer and molly just met face to face. i think it was a good idea to let them become friends through the door first. it has been a crazy day with the cats today. samer was screaming bloody murder this morning because he got his foot caught in a string hanging off the towel. we was out of the box but the foot was stuck in the box. i think he was having flashbacks from under the house because when he was found he had four feet covered in scabs and a broken tail. he was freaked out this morning but his mama came to the rescue and then he continued on with his playtime.

we met the coleman's for lunch to eat bar-b-que. when we got home, we walked in the door and molly came to greet us just like usual. we noticed she had her foot turned out and was walking weird. we noticed her hip joint sticking out on the side so dr. picked her up and popped her hip back in place. i heard the pop. mr. john said my face turned white. i don't know how she did it but i think since she is heavier since her surgery, she has a little bit more trouble doing things. she was such a good sport letting dr. work his magic. you could tell she almost wanted his help so just gave in.

so after all that cat craziness, dr. decided that it was time for the meeting of the cats. i told him that i did not want to witness it. he put them in the kitchen together and they immediately started smelling each other. within 2 minutes, samer and molly were wrestling and chasing each other and our house became a circus. molly is so happy to have someone to play with and we are so happy samer has someone to play with.

this morning was samer's first time not to eat from a bottle. i tricked him by putting the bottle top in a dish so he chewed on it and eventually was licking the rice milk. i thought that was such a huge step! he can feed himself! while he was playing with molly this afternoon, molly started eating. samer saw her eating but had already walked straight through her food without doing anything. well once samer realized what she was doing, he decided he was going to copy her. he ate a piece of her food ( which scared me because i thought he was going to choke). i immediately tried to take the piece away from him but apparently he liked it too much and got mad at me and tried to bite me. so i decided to give him his kitten food and he ate a whole plate of it! in one day we went from a bottle to real food. makes my life soooooooooo much easier! i had to separate the cats for a while because they were so tired. i am sure there will be another play station tonight.

i have some videos of them i just can't find my cord. for non cat people, you probably won't find them interesting but they are pretty funny.
