Old lady Whiskers is back

So Whiskers is back.  For those of you that know me, you might remember that Whiskers adopted a neighbor a few years ago.  However, due to health issues of the neighbor, the old lady kitteh is back with us. 

Now I like having my cat back, she started out as my cat and yet left because she liked the neighbor better.  But she's back.  And an even crankier old kitteh than before.  Ok, so she's 16 1/2 years old, she's allowed to be cranky at that age.  What does that relate to in human years?  150+? 

And she is very set in her ways, especially when it comes to food.  Canned?  Ok, as long as it is the one flavor she'll eat.  Dry?  Only if its kitten food.  Really?  I get that you are an old kitteh, but you are seriously picky.  Of course, she was spoiled rotten being the only furbaby of the neighbor.  But she gets the food she'll eat, because if its anything else it ends up in the garbage.

She also has her own room.  Why you ask?  Because she's an old lady and doesn't like the other kitties here.  She, however, is in for a shock when Shortie moves, as she will be having to share the apartment with the others.  Personally, I think she'll kick the crap out of them.  I'm just not looking forward to the literal cat fights while she regains dominance.

Now she knows, and was irritated by the dipshit kitteh before, Stickers used to annoy her she was a kitten.  Stickers just didn't understand that the adults wanted to be left alone.  However, since her majesty has returned, she has not really spent much time trying to get into Shortie's room.  Indie, the demon kitteh, is another story.  That little furball just doesn't get why the old lady won't play under the door with her, let alone wants her in the throne room.  Indie, piece of advice, just leave the old lady alone.  Go pester Stickers for pete's sake.

So to try to get everyone to get along, Shortie and I have been giving the old lady and the demon face time.  What could be wrong with that you ask?  Well, the old lady is armed and knows how to use the claws.  And did I mention she's cranky too?  Armed and cranky, oh yeah let me volunteer to hold that one while Shortie holds the demon.  At least she didn't draw blood, yet.

But they should get along at some point, right?  Or would it more realistic to be hunting zombies and unicorns?  I, however, will be investing in lots of bandaids and catnip.
