Helly's blog: "stuff"

The main reason I am doing this is for Maso .... I know me telling this story and exposing my bleeding sucker heart will stick a huge ass goofy grin on his face. 

I went down to the cat rescue shelter to donate the special food and supplies I had for nursing Emo. Once there the director of the shelter conned me into meeting a few cats. I made it very very very clear to her I was no where near ready or willing to "adopt" another cat. :/ 

Meet Nyk not my first choice in a name for a cat but her original name was Nik Nak and that is just gawd fucking awful. I thought changing her name completely considering her age was just kind of nasty so I settled on Nyk. There she was this 5.2 lb huddles mass of misery. She had the mew of a weak new born kitten was missing half her fur in the back due to matting. I was told they thought she was 9 but the lady that "surrendered" her kept changing her story about how old she was and why she could not keep her Yes .... I ended up going home with her that night. I mean what could go wrong with such a tiny timid girl right? Poor Gru ! Right off the bat all he wanted to do was love her unfortunately for him (and me) she was having none of that. After doing the keep them in seperate rooms and slow introductions thing I let Nyk out of the room. It turns out Gru is whimp and Nyk is a bit of a diva. She prances around like a little queen. She chases Gru who is double her size and pretty much freaks the holy hell out of him. He is such a sweet cat the most I have seen him do in retaliation is raise his paw gently in warning and once when she was repeatedly and deliberatly prancing by him while staring him down stick out his paw put it against her ass and shove her out the room. After a time of Gru and I respecting her boundaries and time outs when she attacks Gru  it is starting to look like this just might work out. (though I will not allow Gru to be bullied endlessly if I am wrong) The  incidents of her for no reason going after Gru have settled down and the last couple of days just happen in the morning  If I click my tongue she comes running (if I meant Gru and not her she does not care) She wants to be around me more and manages to lounge in the same area as Gru without giving him her bitching side and making him dash away like a hen pecked husband being chased by his bitch wife holding a knife. Hopefully another week or so into it things will have settled down.  completly. It is has been quite the revelation for me at how much having her so vastly different from Emo (although physically a lot of similarities) has made me miss him more and I wonder if Gru has the same.
