All-in-all, things went well. Ming is hissing at Ham quite a bit, but he couldn�t care less. He�s been following her around to get a good sniff of her butt. I�ve cat-sat before, and this seems to be the Hambone�s typical protocol. I don�t know what�s so appealing about a cat�s butt smell, but it�s one more way that Hambone is like a low-maintenance dog.

Ming spent a good amount of time curled up with me, getting some affection and avoiding Hambone. She ran under the bed for a while, but Ham followed her right under there. No peace, I tell ya! Right now she�s between my end table and couch, resting comfortably where Hambone can�t reach her. He doesn�t seem to mind though -- It means that he has my lap all to himself.

She�s really, really soft, and she has the fluffiest tail... But other than that, she�s pretty funny-looking. Her hair is wild and she has a smudge on her nose, but I think I�ll keep her anyway! Once she warms up to Hambone, I think they�ll be fast friends.

So there you go -- A full report on the newest addition to the apartment. �
