But I know it will be just charming and a wonderful home for you all. I noticed a change in behavior in Gypsy after Stimpy died (licking his tummy bare and overgrooming in grief). It will be interesting to see how they maneuver through life with so many changes on tap.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305853571849549221.post-90392493083247939442015-02-10T21:13:37.948-05:002015-02-10T21:13:37.948-05:00So cute about the shifting spots around the fire! ...So cute about the shifting spots around the fire!

I thought after Kit died that Sadie would take over but she didn't. It took her a year before she would get into a kitchen chair even with encouragement that it was okay. We had to give the perch away because she would not come near it and seemed upset that it was in the room. Funny how it takes time for them to find their place. Sadie now is queen of the house and she knows it!

Before he passed, Jack was always the Alpha Cat and he ruled with a very silent gentle hand (never heard that cat hiss in his life). Now with 4 females and one male (Tux - Jack's brother) left in the house, there was really no one Alpha that stood out. Ghost (who is the youngest, but a good sized cat) takes over DH's armchair every night. It's her spot. Recently Tux has taken to challenging this. He now get up there and either lays next to her or chases her off. We're not sure what caused this shift...

My cats try to help too ... but they really tend to hinder. I can't fault them though, at least they are there for me. <br /><br />I can't imagine moving in this cold weather. You might want to wait until spring. But, on the other hand, I am guessing you are pretty excited about getting into your Mouse House. Lots of work, and lots of fun and excitement as well.<br /><br />Cat dynamics are very interesting. Ours don't seem to change much when we lose somebody, but if we add one in ... oh my. All the fussing over territoies and alphaships. We have one alpha and two others who don't want to believe they aren't the alpha so there is a daily challenge. The little female doesn't challenge anyone ... she just knows she is an alpha and treats everyone accordingly. The real alpha is a kind hearted soul and just puts up with her. I don't know how we would live without out cats ... they add so much to our lives. Nice post, Deb ... looking forward to seeing the finished product at the mouse house.<br /><br />Andrea @ From The SolAndrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305853571849549221.post-51423042075810351612015-02-10T09:59:18.393-05:002015-02-10T09:59:18.393-05:00I love how Annie is making sure you didn't mis...I love how Annie is making sure you didn't miss any dishes.
