Took these pics yesterday while Luna was prettily lounging on the cat bed, which you may recall was adopted by Loki when he came to live at casa az (previously used once by Azar and later taken over by Sunny). For the moment it’s being shared by Luna and Loki, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she ended up taking sole ownership. She may be tiny but Luna definitely rules! At least when it comes to Loki. She doesn’t seem to know what to make of Azar, who is immune to her charms, so she still hisses a bit if she suddenly finds him “too close”. But she pretty much has Loki wrapped around her little paw.

Although Luna has filled out quite a bit since she first arrived, you can see here (during Battle For Rug Domination last night) that she is still eensy compared to Loki. At first I worried that he might play too rough with her, like he does with Azar, and end up hurting her. But so far what I’ve seen is Loki barrel over top of Luna and knock her down, then look totally surprised as she spins around on her back like a tiny ninja, flashing needle claws in every direction, which sends him running. Ha – he’s not used to dealing with cats that have four working paws. Serves him right.

So I am very pleased at how well the new addition has fit into the household. Still keeping fingers crossed that she isn’t a FeLV carrier and that the slight trace found in the test Yolanda did turns out to be antibodies from previous exposure or a false positive, which is common when testing kittens. Meanwhile, Luna is just what Loki needed – a little playmate who is as energetic as he is. From the minute they get up in the morning it’s non-stop kitteh fun around here. They tear around the apartment chasing each other, are constantly up and down the stairs, and wreak havoc on my rug and curtains. And I love it.
