Pebbles, an Introduction

Pebbles in the clean laundry. Of course.

Pebbles is… well… Unique. Sassy’s half sister, we adopted her after Bandit died, because Sassy needed a buddy.

We know where we got her, and have had her since she was a kitten, but the way she acts, you’d think we adopted her as an adult cat from an abused home. This is the sketchiest kitty ever. It’s taken us two years to get her to want us to love on her. She still won’t cuddle, I don’t think she ever will. But now, she requests love, instead of just tolerating it, which is progress! Pick her up, though, and she lets out this moan of “Oh! The Humanity!” And yes, we’re evil and pick her up anyway.

She loves her sister, Sassy, and plays, and bathes, and snuggles, and cajoles her. She’s about twice the size, which makes me wonder who the different kitty daddies are. Her favorite toy is the laser pen. She can’t figure out how NOT to use her claws, so when she plays it’s like she’s stuck to the carpet like velcro. If visitors come to the house, you will NOT see her. And she will not come back out of hiding until they are gone. Don’t bother trying. And she loves to sleep on shoes. Any left out. If there’s a little piece of paper on the floor? She’ll cover it. Anything on the floor, she’ll lay on it. We play games. Put one shoe in the middle of the floor and lay bets on how long it takes before she’s asleep on it.

Laying ON the cat bed is too much trouble

She's now twice Sassy's size. Note that she's chewing on Sassy's tail. And note the resigned look on Sassy's face.
