He's afraid. He's very afraid. Babycat met the puppies this weekend, and he apparently was very disturbed by that. He came bee-bopping into my room yesterday morning and went to investigate the squeaky sounds he heard in the closet. It appears that this was the first time he noticed the puppies, as he took one look at them, puffed out and took off out of the room. He hasn't been back since.

The other cats have taken this in stride, as I've seen Spike peer into the puppy box several times without much thought. Of course, Spike has always been the more friendly, welcoming cat. Simon, as usual, has no opinion. I can't wait til they're wandering all over the house. Then we'll get to see what Simon really thinks.
