Babysitting Blanche

As of yesterday it appeared that Pepper was going to tolerate Blanche.  When we let them into the house from the Florida room, Blanche explored like crazy.  Pepper followed her around -- babysitting her.  A few times Pepper approached Blanche in an aggressive manner, but the smart little thing flattened herself down into a humble position. 

This morning began with hilarious chases and hide-and-go-seek games.  We laughed and enjoyed the interaction.  Blanche initiated some of the chases.

We tried to practice periods of putting them in the travel cage together. At first, it looked hopeful....until Pepper started swatting Blanche.  So, we will be using both the carrier and the cage in order to provide separate quarters during travel time.

Ed's already been on the web and found motels that are pet friendly.  We plan to leave Saturday morning and we have a reservation for somewhere in South Carolina for Saturday night.

Now Pepper is sleeping on Ed's lap after a big, busy day of babysitting Blanche.

You'll have to tell us all about the trip. It should be very interesting. It's hard for me to imagine the logistics of traveling with cats. Are they both leash trained?
