The New Addition

We were supposed to get a new brother from Ravensnest Ferrets--mom has been planning it for years. They finally have two male ferrets available, ready to come live with us--mom could have her pick.

So what does she do? She brings home another fuzz-faced feline. He stinks. He howls ALL OF THE TIME and REALLY LOUD. He slinks around and puts us in mind of those two evil cats on Lady and the Tramp. You know the ones we mean?

So anyhoo, even Mash hates this new one and she chases him around growling and hissing. Don't get us wrong, at least she has her mind off of us and we aren't getting attacked any more (in fact, we are hoping that they eventually kill each other). But mom spent the ferret brother money on getting this new one castrated, mutilated, stabbed, and now for medicine because either Mash or one of the cats where he came from bit him in the family jewels and it somehow poisoned him (our bets are on Mash--she's evil).

But the happy news out of the whole mess is that we may be able to convince him to bite Mash and poison her. We are reading up on this whole cat bite/saliva/abscess deal and hoping that we can make them do each other in.

While Mash was horrible before, she convinced mom to only keep us in one room and Mash is not only convinced the whole house is hers, she still gets to be in our room too. We've heard what she whispers to mom as she sleeps. We know what Mash is capable of. This may be our only hope.

And if ANYONE has ideas on how we can still get our brother, we'd love to hear it. It may be many more years before this chance comes along again...
