Blanche, newest addition to the household
After a few months with Rossini I was starting to realize that he was wearing down poor Ketchup with his continuous zooming and running after her, trying to wrestle and never letting her doze in peace. In December 2002, the day I went to my friend Franco's home to bury my beloved fur Angel Cios, and took home little Rossini with me, I had noticed a small white cat in a cage in one room. This was Blanche, rescued by Franco's girlfriend from an abbandoned car. I fell a tiny bit in love with her already then, but was still so overwhelmed by Cios's death that even taking Rossini home with me was already something I was not too sure about. And Franco also seemed to have found somebody who wanted to adopt the little white girl. When I talked to him towards the end of February 2003, I discovered Blanche was still living in the cage.. because Franco's other cats continued to attack her. So I asked him if I could have her, and a few days later he brought her to my place! She bonded immediately with Rossini (rather too well, I fear, since they both are not neutered yet.. something to do in the immediate future!) and now they are busy running after each other most of the day, and Ketchup can finally sleep peacefully again. She and Blanche mostly ignore each other, just an occasional hiss if they come into too close contact. I hope they will eventually become friends too! And now to the pictures! The first month with us |

 Awakening slowly.. |
 A bit more aware.. |
 ..and a good stretch |
 Still a bit groggy |
 Hello Day, here I am! |
 Something for the stomach.. |
 And obviously Rossini tries to put his thick nose in it! |
 Let's have a fight then! |
 Guess who wins? |
|
May 2003 .. the two girls get friendly! (only very very occasionally though, most of the time they hiss at each other and Blanche chases poor Ketchup all over the place...)

 Let's start with those eyes.. |

 and finally the sides |
 a nap after heavy work!
