The Two-Headed Cat

Introducing Ell-ko, the two- headed cat. That’s Ellie on the top of the frame and Miko on the bottom of the frame.

Ellie Update – Day 6

Ellie is adjusting quite well! She is eating like a real chow hound, using her litter box, scratching on her scratching box, not hiding under the bed when I enter the room, and being a sweetie.

I have been sleeping downstairs in her safe room to contribute to the bonding process. She sleeps with me, sometimes under the covers and sometimes on top of them.

One thing she does with passion is vocalize. It has been many years since my ears have been hit with the Siamese yowling. She has many tones and expresses herself succinctly.

Today I locked up the other cats and opened the door to her safe room. After about 5 minutes she ventured out. After a time, she came back downstairs to check on me.

Since I was obviously getting along without her, she continued exploring upstairs. Immediately she found the 2 favorite spots of the other cats: sitting on the chair under the dining room table, and the cave in the cat tree.

Ellie Countdown (Minus 2 Days)

Ellie will be joining the family in just 2 days. She is getting comfortable in her carrier. (Thanks to Alyssa for the photo.)

The safe/transition room is ready with litter box, bed, scratching box, and a few toys. Hope she will be comfy as she settles in.

Shhhhh…. don’t tell my daughter that her room will soon be occupied by Ellie.
