Mandi the Mediator

UPDATE FROM ADOPTER:
It has been about 10 months since Mandi (fka June) came to live with us, and what a great addition to the family she has been. She is the sweetest kitty I have ever known, so demure & gentle and pristine.

MANDI MEETS A SNOWMANShe loves Jessie, the older cat, and likes to climb up and cuddle with her. She is so careful not to disturb Jessie while she is sleeping. I think Mandi has had a great deal to do with how well Jessie is doing since the loss of her sister in January of last year, and she is a great mediator between Jessie and Aimee, the younger kitten.

JESSIE & AIMEEWhen we got Mandi, she was about 8 months old and Aimee was about 5 months old. Aimee has more energy than any cat I have ever seen and she makes us laugh every day, but Jessie didn't much care for her energy or enthusiasm, and it had come to where Jessie would hardly get off the couch to eat because Aimee liked to wrestle so much and had no one else to direct her energy at.

THE WHOLE FAMILYAimee and Mandi are best friends and tear through the house daily chasing each other (playfully, and sometimes Mandi starts it :) and playing with the soft sparkle balls (those are the favorite toy). My family room looks like a daycare with all the toys and cubes and tubes and the kitty tree.

MANDI UNDER THE TREEMandi continues to grow and become less timid and more loving and friendly. Being held is not her favorite thing but she is getting used to it and finding out that good things happen when she gets held (treats). She does like to cuddle up with us on the back of the couch and in bed.

I just thought you might be interested to hear how well she is doing and how much she is loved after these 10 months.

FROM DENISE: June was my foster kitten. It was quite a family with surrogate mom cat I named January and the sibling kittens, sisters, April, May, June, July and brother August, plus Sparkle a kitten who came in alone and joined the family. I would LOVE updates on any of the rest, too :-) Write to me at blog@redlakerosie.org.
