New home, a new Life

Settling in

Motley has found her niche in the home & has even made a friend of "Old Grouchy" as we fondly refer to BeBe. She has evolved from a scared little kitty who hid under the edge of the blankets by the bed for about a week, rarely coming out except to eat & go potty, & then only at night. She is very playful & vocal, her trademark is her little "erm?" sound that means I want to play either with someone or something. She loves the little foam balls we call "BeBeballs" because they are BeBe's favorite toy too.

The only problem is she wants to sleep all day & play all night. She thunders up & down the hall most of the night, chasing either BeBe or the Bebeballs. And she doesn't hesitate to jump on us to try to get us to wake up & play for heavens sake!! We are trying to get her to stay up more in the daytime & sleep more at night. But no matter how many times you go & dig her out of her favorite sleeping spot, she just runs right back to it & curls up & goes back to sleep.

She is eating like a little horse, we think she is trying to make up for having to snatch food whenever the other cats in the shop were not looking because she was pretty undernourished when we took her in. But she is filling out nicely now & looking cute as a button!
