Content Little Kitten

I have been meaning for a while to provide an update on our new kitten. She spent the first three days in our basement, only venturing out in the evenings when all was quiet. She and Little Bear (our border collie mutt mix) have had a few "conversations," and now I think Mittens has clearly communicated that she has taken over the role of Alpha animal in the house.

She still spends a good part of her day in the basement or up in our bedroom and has found several cozy spots to sleep in. In the evenings, when the kids are in bed, she comes out as crazy kitty! She jumps at our legs when we walk, plays with her mice, and has been scaling a quilt I have on the wall (although she has been reprimanded for this one!). She will also play a bit with Jenna with a ribbon or a piece of yarn, but prefers to play when there is less excitement in the room!
