Updates for Blog Day!

 As you can imagine from my previous couple of posts, I have been putting a lot of internal pieces back together. Posting hasn't been crossing my mind. But today is the 19th anniversary of this blog, so I have been planning for a while now to put in a few words today.

Therefore, let me begin by posting some HAPPY news. Yes, happy things still take place around here, and this is a pretty big one. On April 2, we adopted a two-year-old, cat-friendly kitty named Houdini. This is the first time I didn't rename a kitty after adopting them. (Even Misty had a different name, Freckles, in the household in which she was born.) But he just looks like a Houdini, and besides, that name meshes nicely with Merlin's name, meaning I still have a themed pair of kitty names, even though I only named one of them, lol.

Merlin is very gradually warming up to Houdini's presence. He is letting Houdini be in close range of him frequently now, without hissing or growling. However, he still is not at a point where he will play, wrestle, or have Zoomies with Houdini yet. But Houdini is not giving up, so I suspect we are going to see some positive interactions at some point. I will be very happy when I witness that!

As I said, this blog is officially 19 years old today. I can't believe I have had this for nearly two decades. I will have to celebrate wildly a year from now. 😀So Happy Blog Day, everyone!
