Autumnal Update

So....... It is November already, isn't it? What can I write about today?

Tabitha, Luna & Gem have been playing together and can sit in a room together, Zerena hisses but nobody takes her seriously, she never tries to chase or attack, so that makes four girls nearly getting along, with daily ups an downs. Galahad, being the boy of the house, takes the most work. He wants to play, but he scares the kittens.
The kittens are getting big! My girls, so loveable, they are spoiled housecats who love their human friends. It has been so much work, so many hours of treat and toy therapy. It may take six months to a year before all five are completely comfortable together, but with steady work it will happen. The rewards are so great, this crazy funny life is wonderful.

One great bit of advice to anyone introducing new cats to your cats: BABY GATES! We stacked two on top of each other so they can watch and sniff each other through the gates all day. The safe room is visible at all times, but still safe. This has made our situation improve tenfold.

Incidentally, I think the kittens like Tori Amos.

I looked up The Pirate Queen musical, and as it happens, it is based not just on legend, but the same Morgan Llewellyn book I had mentioned. It is playing in Chicago now and opens on Broadway in February.

Two versions of The Magic Flute playing at The Metropolitan Opera this season; one short version intended for kids and families, one traditional, I would love to see both.

When, oh when, is the last season of Jem coming out on DVD? Such a drag.

I ordered a wedding dress! It is called "The Guinevere." That was an easy decision. We have a date again, in perfect keeping with the Celtic year. It will be lovely, silly and all our own.Five cats in attendance. (Hee hee)

Just finished STEALING HEAVEN by Marion Meade, the only historical fiction (I know of) about Abelard and Heloise. An engrossing read to be sure, muchly true to fact, but O, the suffering! Good grief, we know the true tragedy, why did she have to add so much extra misery?!

Almost finished with ONE KNIGHT ONLY by Peter David (King Arthur as the American President fighting terrorists, the Basilisk and Gilgamesh... no, really.) A quick, silly read with no good female characters.

So there you have it, a few bits of current faerie life. Be well, my friends~ be well. Fight the best fights.
