Cat balance restored

[rickvs]

Our friends, at Thanksgiving, bought us a second cat: Mandy.

Mandy and Lina[*] have some territory issues, but tolerate each other well enough as long as they keep to their own sides of the duplex (think Sharks/Jets).

Mandy has one stunt that I may have to ask someone to film, as I can't by definition watch her do it: she chases me as I walk down the hall, slapping the back of my heels with a paw on Every. Single. Step.

Still not sure if she's running on three legs, holding one out stiff in front of her, or just has my timing down well enough to alternate front paws while she swats me. Anyway, she's cute, and flops over for attention almost every time a human sets off her proximity alarm, so I think we'll be keeping her.


[*] pronounced "Leena", and I don't know why we don't spell it that way either.

Is Mandy a calico? Swatting from behind is apparently a specifically calico behavior.

She's not a calico, but I forget what sort of cat she is at the moment. I'll post pictures at some point, and until then I'll just assume she's feeling goosey.
