I’m not trying to start anything, I swear! But you seem to REALLY like Elle and Joe-Bob kind of seems like he’s a pain in the butt…any chance of her being permanent too? Maybe just to even things out?
I realllllllllly don’t want the permanent residents of the house to go into double-digit territory. I really like Elle, and I really REALLY like Punki, and if we hadn’t adopted Joe Bob I’d probably be pushing to keep Punki, but I’m not going to for the aforementioned reasoning. I do complain about Joe Bob a lot, but it’s just a matter of him adjusting to his new home; he’s really a pretty good boy, and fairly unobtrusive unless, someone (ahem STINKERBELLE) does something like sniffsniffSNIFFSNIFF his butt, which makes him mad, and sets him on the hiss-growl-scream-smack-run course of action.

pardon my ignorance. but what is trilling / keening??? as a cat owner, i should probably know this. heh.
I call it keening, but I don’t if anyone else calls it that, that’s just what it sounds like to me. It’s mostly Miz Poo who does it around here; she gets a toy in her mouth and walks around the house meowing an unending, high-pitched meow that gets incredibly annoying after a few minutes. I thought at first that it was a mother-cat kind of thing, that she was treating the toy as her “baby”, and the keening was to announce that. I’m starting to think – because Tommy does it from time to time (not that a male cat can’t be motherly OH MY GOD GET OFF MY CASE!) – that it might be a hunting call. Like, “I caught this awesome prey, now come praise me and tell me how smart I am!”
Here’s a movie I made of Miz Poo when we lived in the old house, showing her mad keening skillz.

Is that a happy-looking Joe Bob, or what?
Sugarbutt loves him some grass.
