I Was Outnumbered.
In the ten or so months since Ali came to live with us, I have often thought that she's just not smart enough to have any feelings. Every day, she's in the exact same mood. Feed her, she's happy. Ignore her, she's happy. Give her the ring from a jug of milk, she's happy. Lock her in a closet, she's happy. Step on her tail, she's happy. Dress her in American Girl doll clothes, she's happy.
She's always happy. It's that sort of content, pleasant mood that makes her a pretty awesome cat, even if I am starting to suspect that she's a robot. A happy robot.
As a matter of fact, I have never once heard her hiss. Until today, that is.
Today she got her panties in a bunch and couldn't pick them out no matter how much anybody tried to calm her down. She was riled up, hissy, and just plain PISSED.
She spent hours circling the family room, hissing, smacking, and generally throwing a fit.
Apparently she isn't a fan of Max.
Which is just too bad. He may not keep the name, but he is staying in the house.

I want one!!! Only with 6 or 7 extra toes.
Aww. Before you know it, they'll be best buds.
Another pet, did you know he was coming home... Cute!
I'm not typically a cat person. Mainly because sweet home Alabama...am I allergic. But, these two? So freakin' cute!
I bet they're best friends in a couple of weeks. Or, she stays REALLY pissed and tries to drown him in the water bowl. Either or.
that's how my one cat was when we got a 2nd one, but now they are the best of buds & the little guy things our first cat is his momma.
Awwww! I just started fawning over that picture to an uncaring husband - I've always loved orange kitties - and was reminded that kitten is a dirty word in this house.
But he's just too stinking cute! Yay for kittens!
You stole my next boy name!!!!! Oh, and he's a cutie!
Oh my gaaawwwwwdddddd I love orange cats! And he looks so soft!
Everyone needs an orange male cat to make their hoard complete. He's super cute and Ali will get over herself eventually.
My goodness! How long until you become the neighborhood crazy cat lady? ;)
He's darling. He looks a lot like my first cat, who came to me when I was 4. I had the honor of naming her, so her name was K.C. - for Kitty Cat. I was 4!
Congratulations! I'm sure Miss Ali will come around.
Well yeah! She's been upstaged by THAT beauty! I'd be "Hissy" too! HA!
"What is dat unuzuool life form? Look like big mouse. Must scare off..."
Our alpha cat did the same when we brought a second cat into the house. They still fight like siblings.
I honestly don't know how you do it?! You work full time, take care of a kid, blog every day, and take care of upteen animals? Crazy!
A ginger!! Did she come home in Alexis's pocket?
