Pepper is Peeved

Pepper has been the one and only queen bee Cornish Rex kitty with us for several years.  She did well traveling and living in the RV with us.  But, it did seem at times like she was depressed -- sleeping away the days.

That's when we researched, found, and bought Blanche Devereau, a small female to play with Pepper.  After almost a week in Florida, they both stayed in Pepper's room (the laundry room) overnight without killing each other or bothering us.  We thought that was a step in the right direction.

The trip from Florida to Virginia was a long one.  The cats were in separate containers and meowed by the hour -- especially Pepper.  We don't know how she didn't end up with laryngitis.  They were fine in the motel sleeping with us, although they did wake Ed several times.

Here in Virginia, we set up several beds and sleeping cubicles in the laundry room.  The nights seemed to go OK.  We began to notice that we were seeing less and less of Pepper.  Well, this afternoon she made her statement -- yep, you guessed it -- a "calling card" right in the middle of our light colored summer bedspread.

That's our warning that we've got to make sure Pepper gets more attention.  To be continued......

It would seem that Pepper is jealous of Blanche. I hope the calling card was a one-time "gift."
