First order of business, a little introduction:
We have two adult cats that are ours.
Dido (Female DSH Orange Tabby)
Dido is a Diva. She loves us, but other people frighten her quite a bit. Sometimes she likes to be carried around and cuddled and other times not. She doesn't like sitting on laps, her favorite sleeping place is a windowsill in the sun. Dido is funny, she is very friendly but only on her terms. Pick her up and sit on the couch, and she will jump away. Sit on the couch with a blanket next to you and ignore her for a second she will jump up and be very affectionate.
Dido is the cat we worry about during the foster introductions. She has never been aggressive towards other cats, only afraid of them. Our guess is that dido will hide under the bed until she gets acclimated to having cats other than her biological sister around
2. Coco (Female DSH Tortoiseshell)
Coco is a lover, not a fighter. (so to speak) She loves everybody and everything. She has met other cats and just wants to play and cuddle. We think she doesn't quite understand what a hiss means because other cats have hissed at her and she just gets this look like "what does that mean?" and seems confused that everything isn't as loving as she is.
We're not worried about her and the new fosters.
We have painstakingly setup a new "kitten room" in our extra bedroom.
There are about 50 cat toys on the small house. There are two kitten beds and the tree. You can see in the tub we've placed blankets in it and viola instant gigantic kitten bed.
The kittens we are fostering we've named after greek deities.
