2090.0. "Update on Sweetie!" by SALEM::DEFRANCO_J () Tue Dec 27 1988 12:44

    Just wanted to give everyone an update on how Sweetie is doing in
    her hew home.  She and Cali have come to terms with each other and
    they ever play together on occassion.  Cali still has the upper
    hand though!  A hiss here, a smack there keeps little Sweetie in
    her place!  Cali doesn't approve of spoiled babies!
    
    On the other hand, Sam spoils Sweetie something terrible.  Can you
    believe, he lets her nurse off of him!  Is this normal or does Sam
    have some kind of identity problem?  Poor guy! His tummy has all
    little red blotches on it now.  Sweetie really loves him.  He shares
    his food with her and he always lets her win when they play.  It's
    really cute and such fun to watch them play.
    
    Sweetie has been a real good girl.  She lets me trim her claws and
    groom her with no trouble.  She almost always uses her scratch post
    and has been very good around the Christmas tree.  On the other
    hand, I think the markings of her coat reflect her personality as
    she certainly does have a little bit of tiger in her.  What a bundle
    of energy she can be, especially when attacking my feet or climbing
    up the clothes in my closet!  Looks like I'll be needing a new winter
    wardrobe by the time she outgrows this fun habit!  She certainly
    has more energy than my other two did at that age.  Oh well,  all
    in all everything is going great.

2090.1I miss her!CLUSTA::TAMIRACMS design while-u-waitFri Dec 30 1988 11:2014
    Isn't it funny that you thought that Sweetie and Cali would be the
    best of friends and that Sam would come to tolerate her!  I've known
    other cats who nursed from their big brothers (Skyler Van Grayson
    used to suckle Ashley's chest instead of tummy...slighty confused!).
    Sweetie's little sister, Julie, still nurses from Meg, but she doesn't
    get much from her either.
    
    Has she gotten any fluffier?  Julie seems to have gotten her winter
    coat.  It sounds like the sisters got their basic training together,
    cause Julie does the same things as Sweetie (what the heck...I needed
    new draperies anyway!).
    
    Keep us posted!

    Hi Mary,
    
    Oh yes, Sweetie has gotten fluffier, expecially her tail.  She looks
    so cute when she sits down and wraps that fluffy tail around her
    front feet!
    
    I find myself calling her fluffy sometimes and Sweetie at other
    times.  I think she may grow up answering to both names.  
    
    If you are ever in the Salem, New Hampshire area, feel free to give
    a call and come over to visit.  You'd be surprised at how much she
    has already grown.
