Raising a Cat Lady

Enceladus is turning into a little cat lady, and it just makes my heart explode whenever she snuggles up with one of our fur babies on the couch.

Her favorite snuggle friend is Xanadu. Xanadu is most accepting of the hugs that Enceladus wants to give her, maybe that’s her natural Siamese personality showing. If Mom is in the kitchen cooking, ok, I’ll find someone else to treat me like the Queen I know I am.

How are the other 2 cats with her? Goblin treats her like a friend, plopping down on the carpet next to her when she’s playing, or following her around the house. Toes is still unsure of her toddler antics, in general Toes doesn’t love loud yelling voices, but she’s getting better and I noticed Toes accepting some rubs from Encealdus in the last few weeks.

But Xanadu! Xanadu absolutely loves her. Enceladus will be on the couch and Xandau will walk over her and plop down in front of her.

And then Enceladus will stretch out to get more comfy, letting her arm rest on Xanadu, rubbing her up and down. They’ll both stay like this, enjoying each other’s company. I love that they trust each other, trust and respect has been the most important part of this growing relationship.
