Snug as a bug and thoughtfully keeping me from making the bed until later.

She is such a beautiful cat & a very sweet natured too. She is so thoughtful of your well being!

Gold medal-winning performance on the couch. You rarely see the likes.

He's definitely a medal winner in the sloth department.

Top work Marlow! Showing all the other cats how it's done.

Yes, I was paying attention. I did listen. I promise. I'm just surprised by how big a difference it has made. Even the more skittish of the Littlies no longer run when I need to pick them up & though they protest loudly they make no real effort to escape.

That is why I have felt most successful with 6 week olds.

HAPPY CATURDAY!

Does Marlow have any bones? He is melting right into that couch.

I think I am doing a *chicken led integration*.
This morning for the very 1st time someone showed interest in what was in the big coop.
Regan's curiosity got the better of her.

It wasn't long before Soda arrived to see what was going on.

One by one...by one...
everyone else ventured in...​

Olivia was last.
She really is the baby of this group & barely managed the step ~ but she made it.​

They headed straight for the big girls leftovers from last night & hoed in.
I have left them shut in in peace to explore. Luna is laying but that's one hen unlikely to be bothered by the Littlies.​

They will be one big happy family in...dare I say...no time!

Roosting seems to be our Waterloo.
I was really pleased to see Regan, who seems to be the leader in most things [though not all] made an attempt to lead everyone up the stairs to bed last night. Unfortunately for her, Patricia dropped a thin shelled egg from the roost just then & the flock erupted in their efforts to scoff the mess, then Soda lost her balance & plummeted like a cannonball... My normally sedate older girls were behaving like the junior rugby mess hall & the Littlies lost their courage.

Olivia & Desdemona decided right underfoot was the safest place to be

I started with Regan because it was obvious she wanted to roost & was ready to go to bed, then added Portia & Glorianna. Regan & Gloriana are a tight pairing but they didn't get it right last night & there was a lot of neck twinning & heads up periscopeing as they each made sure the other was right there. They ended up deciding they didn't want to run the gauntlet of the nasty peckers & took the lowest roost.

My Little Frizzles were braver & refused to budge from the 2nd roost but I think the Biggies have the same problem as everybody else; they can't figure out which end is which so aren't sure where to peck. Desdemona was happy to roost on the outside of them but Ceres opted to try for the top roost. Luna is always a safe bet & she shot into the tiny space between Luna & Beatha.

So this is how they were arranged when I left for the night...​

This morning I was really pleased to see everyone had made it downstairs by the time I arrived, despite the curtain, & all is quiet on the Western Front.​

I just love your descriptions of all their shenanigans!

That’s a Ragdoll for you! It’s like they don’t have bones almost! They melt like butter in your arms....
