We acquired a cute, fuzzy, white-footed black kitten back in September.
She has since grown into a beautiful, sleek, white-footed black monster.
Okay, not a monster; a fiend, maybe.  Entropy is currently making little
headway in adjusting to the new cute, fuzzy, etc. tiger kitten that we
brought home from the pound.  Dexter holds her own against Entropy,
despite size, strength, and balance differences, but I just hope that
they hash it out soon.  The thing is, the article on kitty introductions
appeared just after we got Dexter; "What a boon," we thought.  We read it
carefully and are doing our best to make sure that Entropy didn't feel
"left out" or "second-best" with the new kid around.  Oh, it works when
we're in the same room as the two little beasts, and Entropy quits
beating on Dexter when we tell her to, but as soon as we leave the
immediate vicinity the most horrible crashing and thumping can be heard
as Entropy takes advantage of our absence to show Dexter who's boss.
How does one go about eliminating this sneakiness on the part of our
devilish kittens?  I've about had it with 7 a.m. thumping in the upstairs
living room....and the furniture can't take much more abuse.  Let's hope
it doesn't continue much longer, and we can be a happy family once more.
Hmm, it's too quiet in the next room...oops, not anymore.  What more can
I do?!?!?
