| | Why does Pixie walk up to Stranger at random moments, and attempt to SIT on her? I mean this quite literally. Stranger will be doing Stranger things, (which usually involve standing at the door whining) and Pixie will walk up to her, turn around, back up, lift a leg, and proceed to SIT on Stranger.
I know Pixie hasn't completely warmed to Stranger, and she's not entirely happy about having her around (although, in many, many ways, she's been a happier cat than when she was the only cat), but I've had multiple "I'll tolerate you but I deplore you" cat situations, and I've never in my life seen one cat attempt to SIT on another one.
(Oh, and don't tell them I told you this, but I caught the two of them napping together on the futon. You may all proceed to AWWW now.)

End of analysis.

| | Stranger is higher than the floor. It's the same reason cats will sit on pieces of paper.

| | Rotten cats. Again with pharmacy and it's stupid "voice activated prescription ordering program." Last time Pixie decided to poke me in the butt while I was trying to order. This time the cats, who had been studiously ignoring each other all morning, decided to spazz at each other, resulting in Stranger dropping a box on my foot.
Anyone wants two slightly used cats, with or without fur, let me know.

| |  because they are cats.
Grace will ignore me for days-she's a fairly solitary cat, then suddenly demand 110% of my total attention and God forbid I don't give it to her.

| | Well of course Otto sits on the others. He can't afford to let Clarisse sit on him! :zip: |  | |
