The girls have become TERRIFIED of Graycee! Emily more so that Sarah Kate. They are too scared to play in the back yard. Graycee is not mean but playful. The girls think she is going to eat them! In fact, I told emily that I thought a neighbor might call the police because of her screaming.
Graycee did great being outside at first but now her only goal in life is to get in our house. She has gotten in a few times and runs right to Kristen had grabs her. I have heard some terrible cat sounds that have kept my girls locked in their rooms, horrified.
Yesterday I had her spayed. When I picked her up, I was greeted with some bits of news the vet had not told me.........
1. Graycee must be indoors for 10-14 days.
2. She must not run,jump or be around stairs.
3. She must wear an e-collar or a cone around her neck for 10-14 days.
I just WILTED. Wilted.
I almost paid them to just keep her. I almost offered.
We get home:
1. She was put in the upstairs bathroom. Kristen has been a nervous wreck.
2. Graycee ran out of the bathroom as soon as I left her and ran as fast as she could down our 16 or so steps. She jumped in a chair and then on the dining table . She ran after Kristen as fast as she could. Kristen was throwing a literal hissy fit.
3. The E-collar last about ONE hour, thank you! She had it off before I could get her settled in her room.
I have CAT STRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like I wrestle cats all day long!

I love reading your blog. It's so real and honest, yet you always leave me with a smile! I too have 2 cats. When we introduced the older female to the younger female I thought my life had changed forever!! They hissed and fussed continuously. We kept them separated for about a month, then slowly introduced them "again" to each other. Slowly they realized they must share their home... now they sleep side by side every night when we put them "to bed" in the laundry room. We even call them sisters. So, hang in there, it will get better and your life will resume as you have known it. Blessings : )

I can't believe it! This cat could have its own reality show! HA!
I hope things get better!
I also LOVE reading your stories about Kristen, they always make me laugh! You have certainly been gifted with some serious patience, that poor cat would have drove me crazy by now! I don't think I could live with a bi-polar cat in my house for even a day, much less permanently, you're a trooper! Please keep us updated on the Kristen vs. Grace ordeal ;)
Hang in there....soon they will be best friends.
I couldn't stop laughing. That post was hilarious. I enjoy reading your blog and your honesty.
