TWO PLUS ONE DOES NOT NECESSARILY EQUAL THREE

We have adopted a new cat. Now "we" means me and my two previously owned and loved cats, Alice and Olive. Was this adoption by choice? No, we were a happy trio, a widow and two dear cats. However the death of a friend led to an orphaned older cat with nowhere to go and no one to care. I brought her home, temporarily I assured the other "girls". I quickly learned bringing home a spoiled cat meant loading my car with two cat beds, three scratching posts a wicker basket filled with toys, two litter boxes and a case of "special food" for unknown allergies.
Going on line I read advice from several experts on how one introduces a new cat to a home previously occupied by cats. My first move was to establish a special room for our new guest. I labeled the bedroom The  Cat Hilton because by the time I moved her into this bedroom it was completely taken over with her possessions. "Keep the new cat isolated" was the first step I followed. Closing the door with it's occupant safely inside I felt confident all would go well. I had even brought a blanket used by her previous owner to  give her the scent of home and love. All would go well I assured myself.
I will continue this blog with the ongoing saga of Two Plus One Does Not Necessarily Equal Three at a later date. I hope you will develop sympathy for the writer as you read of our steps to adoption.

My Virgin Blog

Well, this is the new beginning of my blog. What will I write? what will I share? I guess it depends on the day, on the mood, on the inspiration. I hope to gather blog friends who also enjoy writing, reading and sharing. I would encourage  you to join me in this passion. Yes, I have also written books. Yes I have been published but at this point I feel this is the road to follow. I will return with more intelligent thoughts next time.  By the way, who am I? I am a --- year old widow and I hate that label.
