Three many tabbies

ceebeegeeSo, uh, my household is about to get a little bigger.
My brother Stuart is stationed in Naples now, as most of you now, and his posting is due to change this summer. He and his family will be picking up stakes and moving to California. Part of this process means placing their cat Edna Mo somewhere for a few months while they pack up and get them, their stuff and their two kids back over here. Normally they would place Edna with our parents but they've acquired some new dogs since the last time, dogs who apparently just loooove the taste of Kitteh. Stuart doesn't trust the dogs so he emailed me yesterday with a long, humble missive asking if he could foster Edna with me for a few months while they make the trek. I said of course, reminding him that Tatia will probably not like Edna, but Edna gets along with other cats, she'll probably be cool with Tibby. Stuart's also going to give me an allowance for the new bebbeh (not so young, though, she's older than Tatia). She'll be staying here from end of June to no later than early October. Probably a good thing, I can see the three of them figuring out that strength lies in numbers and ganging up on me. Just imagine that scene in Gulliver's Travels when Gulliver wakes up to find himself tied down by tiny wires as the Lilliputians swarm over him. Okay, so I'm not 12 times as big as the bebbehs but the possibility of mutiny remains.
Edna is also a tabby. DOODNESS, it's going to be a regular cattery at my place!
