Meet Olly?

How many cats do you see? It's tough to tell, but there are three cats squeezed in that rubbermade tote. It's been about a month or so since Molly (my grandmother's cat) came to live with us. Molly's name has morphed into Olly because it sounds cooler, and because it was too similar to Marley. So from now on she's going by Olly. She doesn't know her name anyways, so it's ok. She is fitting in pretty well and has staked out "her" spots. She even has her favorite cat, Salem.

It's a misconception that cats are solitary critters, they are very social and like spending time together. It never occured to me until Olly came that some cats are cooler than others. In the cat world Salem is a cool kid. Everyone likes her the best and wants to play with her. I don't know why, what does it take to be a good cat friend?

Who knows. I'm just glad they all get along.
