11 months already




Whimsy is now 11 months and still wrecking the place. She's broken an antique vase, a lamp, tormented her older sister, Tayoh, opened the medicine cabinet and pulled out all the Q tips. And she's getting a little porky. I feel a lecture coming on from the vet... Nevertheless, she's still cute as a button.

Whimsy is 5 months


My little girl is 5 months old and not slowing down. Very destructive. Heaven help me and Tayoh.

The daily ritual



When they both want to occupy the top tier of the tower and fighting is futile, the girls call a truce and snuggle in for a nap. It doesn't last.

Into everything


Whimsy is into everything. Even blogging, as you can see. There are all kinds of things to rip and pull down. And jumping into the fridge as soon as the door opens - well, that's just too much fun. The aerial pounce on Tayoh,the older sister, is also a riot. How long does this last...?

Well, it turns out that kitty is a girl! So much for my attempts at sexing. Her name is Whimsy and yes, I am keeping her. Not a lost kitten notice in sight. The vet determined that she's probably 3 months old and is very healthy, coordinated and unbelievably confident. She tried to climb up my leg and has left me in shreds. Now where is that squirt bottle. ..
I tried introducing Whimsy to Tayoh and that didn't go very well. Tayoh is hissing and growling, torn by curiosity and loathing. The little one gave it right back. She's not backing down but is keeping a respectful distance. I suppose this will take a while for them to form some sort a relationship. It's just that I was hoping, unrealistically, that they would be instant friends. I was hoping for a Mabel/Brian response.
