We're In!!

We are moved and unpacked, and everyone is adjusting nicely to the new house. The cats seem much better now that their stuff is all unpacked. I'm guessing the most traumatic part for them was seeing it all go away from the old house and not understanding what was happening. When I unloaded them into the new house (after everything was unpacked and set up), they were fine and happy. I'm still medicating Squirt for a few more days just to be on the safe side.

It's funny what you discover about people and animals when you live closely with them. This new house is smaller, but we fit comfortably into it. The biggest difference is that we don't have a basement. Previously, we kept the litter box in the basement, now, it's in the bathroom off of our bedroom. Well, as it turns out, Squirt is a 5:30 a.m. pooper. :) The past three mornings he has been scratching obsessively around the litter box between 5:30 and 6 in the morning (don't worry, litter box scratching has always been an obsession of his). He's so consistent that I think Dave will just start using him for an alarm clock. :)

The kitties also LOVE the screen door on the back porch and the cool tile floor in the bathroom. They accepted their room without question, and Georgia has not bothered the baby gate (except for the one time she hopped over it to steal a cat toy - that's pretty normal). She's pretty much letting them have their space. Georgia and Jewel are becoming sweet sisters, and we saw proof this morning. We were sitting at the table for breakfast and Georgia was sitting with us waiting for her bites. Jewel slinked up to her and loved on her just a little, like she does to us when she needs love. I've been suspicious that they are really best buds for a while now, but that just confirmed it.

Georgia is learning to live in a fence, and it hasn't been too bad. She just doesn't understand why she can't chase the cat in the backyard next door, or the squirrel in the backyard behind us. She settled for harassing a woodpecker, but it scolded her nicely and she's left it alone since. She swam in her pool yesterday for the first time this year, so I think that made the fence situation a little better.

Dave has finally calmed down, and I think he really is finished with projects for a little while. I know I am. I'll post some pictures when I have time to take some good ones. I have a few of Georgia on the back porch, but I forgot to upload them.

Later.
