We went to the Humane Society for another kitty a week later and came home with Sadie. We were in search of a grey tiger, but they didn't have any. I went and picked up the only grey kitty that was there, and fell in love!! She was so sweet and adorable and snuggly. She's your usual lap cat - she doesn't need much, but she needs a warm lap to sit on! When we brought Sadie home, she wasn't too fond of Guen. Guen just wouldn't leave her alone...kept following her and trying to play. Sadie just wanted to explore. They finally were about to take a nap, and we laid them next to each other…and they were too wore out to fight! And, they've gotten along ever since….errr, maybe not. Sadie's not a real happy camper when Guen comes back from the vet. She hissed and hissed at her and it took about a day and a half for her to get used to her sister again. It was quite a stressful time - for her and I! I guess Guen must have smelled different, and Sadie just wasn't happy about that. She still looked the same, but I can't argue with a cat, so she kept up her hissing and growling. Sadie's kind of a pudge. I think she's sort of a bully. She takes over Guen's sitting and sleeping spots and used to hog the food bowl - now we have two, so it's not as easy for her to be piggy! Sadie has gone through some dieting and exercise regimes and it seems to be working some. Sadie is pretty much all grey with a splotch of white on her chest, just under her chin. She has big, yellow eyes and some faint stripes on her tail and body. Mostly, she's just as goofy as her sister and they tear around the condo chasing each other and wrestling. They love to watch the birds and squirrels outside on our patio.
Sadie and Guen have finally adjusted to our new addition to the family: Haylee. Haylee was born July 25th, 2002. Guen just loves to sit wherever Haylee has last sat. It's really funny. Sadie doesn't acknowledge that she exists yet.
