Tolly

I adopted Holly (formerly named Tolly) a few months ago as a buddy for my other cat, Hoppy. The two of them have gotten along famously right from the start. When I brought Holly home, both of them cried and cried as they could smell each other through the door. So, after one day, an initial introduction, and one or two assorted hisses, they set about chasing each other around the house, playing together, and grooming each other. Here they are about a week after I brought Holly home, relaxing in the chair. (Holly is the all gray tabby) Holly is very curious and sweet and is quite happy to let her new, older sister rule the roost. She puts up with it when Hoppy forces her to be groomed, whether she needs it or not. She's not a total pushover though, she chases Hoppy around and can hold her own in their one-armed smackdowns. They complement each other well - Holly is missing her front right leg and Hoppy is missing her front left leg. I figured that would level the playing field a bit, so no one would have the upper paw. I like knowing that they look at each other and see a kitty just like themselves. Hoppy and I are really happy that Holly joined our family.
