Since my last post, the weather has gotten cooler and Frederica has gone NUTS! In the morning after she's eaten, she races around the house and tries (sometimes successfully) to get Cupcake riled up & running around, too. We have to watch the back door carefully after the dogs come in from doing their business outside - Freddie has slipped out a couple of times to explore the smells in the backyard. She never ventures very far from the door and always comes immediately back inside with minimal provocation, but it's just a matter of time before she gets more adventurous. She must not be the only Maine Coon going crazy with the weather. There are signs up in our neighborhood for a missing Maine Coon who looks a lot like Frederica - same coloring, but younger.
Link is warming up to Frederica. The two of them have been playing a bit here and there. Unfortunately, one morning this past weekend they decided to play on the kitchen table and Link knocked Brianna's bottle of black nail polish on the floor. I was NOT happy to clean up nail polish off of the tile before I'd even had my coffee!
Freddie desperately needs a bath and I'm hoping she'll have one this coming weekend. We've been trying to brush & snip out all of the mats she's developed on her stomach near her legs before giving her a bath, lest the mats get worse. Maybe if I get inspired, the bath will happen before the weekend!
