Me and the Boys....and Sooty

Its coming up on two weeks since that fateful day when Remington and Dude got locked inside and it has not been uneventful.

So far I have not let the boys back outside, Sooty on the other hand gets let out anytime she asks for it.  The upstairs and the outside are her refuge.  Most of the time she is pissed off at them and hisses anytime they come to near her and swishes her tail in warning....only problem is that Dude thinks the swishing tail is a toy...that he has not attacked YET.

The boys have been sticking to the basement and the first floor.  Spending nights in their basement and putting on an acrobatic show for me and Sooty on the first floor.  Sooty begrudgingly seems to be amused by them...from a distance.

This week Dude has been coming upstairs in the morning when he hears activity (or maybe before) Sooty continues with her routine of heading downstairs and waiting for me to fill her bowl while Dude has been checking out things while I make my bed, then follows me to the kitchen where he too waits impatiently for breakfast.

This evening I came home from work with a head stuffed by allergies and went to get changed to go for a run to find Dude snoozing in the cat bed at the foot of my bed and Remington in the dirty laundry basket.  Worried about what Sooty will do if she sees him there but still happy that they are settling in I jump up onto the bed to get some snuggles.  Dude cuddles into me and starts purring and Remington hops up and takes his place in the cat bed.  After 10-15 minutes the stuffed head took over, plans of a run were postponed for a quick nap....that ended up being two hours long.  When I awoke both kittens were still on the bed...and lo and behold Sooty was on the floor...not hissing. I invited Sooty up and she came for a cuddle, seemed okay when she seen Remington in her bed, but Dude getting rambunctious was a bit much for her.

All in all I am really loving having these two fellas romping around the house.  It would break my heart if I thought Sooty was going to be permantly put out by it so am really hopeful that she is coming around.
