If you put a kitten near Charlie…
And the kitten isn’t hissing or growling…
Charlie will immediately lick them.
As long as they stay there, he’ll lick ’em.
Pete says “I like my big brudder Charlie!”
And another thing is that…
(Smitty gives Charlie the side eye.)
If a kitten hisses or growls at him…
He doesn’t take it personally.
Smitty considers his options.
And makes himself at home.
Why is Smitty still hissing at Charlie? I dunno! He hisses at Khal, too. He doesn’t hiss at Magoo – in fact, he and Magoo play together all the time, and it’s my hope to get a video of them chasing each other up and down the hall. Pete doesn’t hiss at anyone. Maybe it’s a tuxie thing – Daphne was still hissing at Khal up until she and Calliope went home. I’m just glad his big brothers don’t take Smitty’s hissing personally!
Magoo has a snooze.
Khal has such a serious face – he looks like he’s thinking “If that whippersnapper hisses at me ONE. MORE. TIME… POW! Right in the kisser!” – but he was just sitting there purring at me ’til I went over and petted him.

We had a stranger in the house the other day, which made Pete and Smitty nervous, so they went to their safe space!
Good night innernets. (Pete)
