Teresa, a calico torbie, and Calcifer, a buff orange tabby, sit on a tan couch with their parents. Teresa sits with her side on her mom's foot while Calcifer has his butt leaned against his mom. Their front paws are touching and my heart melts a little bit every time I look at this picture.
Teresa stands like a meerkat in front of the TV. A ray of sun crosses her body as she looks outside. She clearly sees something interesting.
Calcifer introduces Teresa to the nest. Teresa is looking intently down at the nest while Calcifer stares at the mama bird who continues to taunt him.
Teresa lays in front of the balcony door curtain. She is completely asleep on her back in a "n" shape. Her little paw is extended above her head and she looks at peace.
Finally she started coming out more and more and over the last week seems to be getting much more comfortable. She also discovered the birds nest and has been enjoying watching them as well.

Calcifer, a buff orange tabby, sits on a table pawing at the window in the sun. A spikey tree with a birds nest sit outside. Mama bird sits on the railing behind the tree taunting Calcifer. Going from the 15th floor to the 2nd floor might be the best thing that has ever happened to Calcifer.
Teresa, a calico torbie, lays under the couch. She doesn't seem horrible overwhelmed and would come over for pets but definitely didn't want to leave the comfort of the couch except for food.
Teresa peeks out from under the coffee table. She had just bopped her mom's foot for attention and was checking to see if she was coming.
Teresa is now getting silly. She is upside down under the coffee table with a wild expression in her eye and was bopping anyone who got close.
Calcifer adjusted to his new home quickly especially when he discovered a birds nest right outside our window. Teresa took a bit longer and spent time under the couch adjusting. She then moved to under the coffee table where she could more easily bop us when she wanted attention. Then she got silly.

Calcifer, a buff orange tabby in a dark green harness, is laying out in the extra space of his carrier that is under the seat of the plane. He is looking up at his mom and kneading her foot.
Calcifer (in a dark green harness) curled up in the extra front compartment of his carrier looking around.
Calcifer laying on his side between his mom's legs and looking up at her in the extra space of his carrier.
Calcifer sits close to the camera tracking the treats in his mom's hand. He has no issues with his harness. Teresa sits farther away on top of a purple suitcase under the bed. She willing let the harness be put on but is now looking unhappily and a bit pathetically at her mom. Nothing more horrible has ever happened to her and she deserves all the treats for putting up with this.
The flights went well although the kitties DID NOT LIKE descent and let us know. My husband had Teresa and took 0 pictures so you only get Calcifer during the flight but you can see what harness training was like (Calcifer liked while Teresa tolerated because she got treats but was not quite happy).

Teresa, a calico torbie, hides under a dresser in the closet during move out. She has stuck her head out to say hello and also that she hates everything when I came in to grab some boxes. She was quite distraught when the dresser also had to be removed.
Calcifer, a buff orange tabby, and Teresa, a calico torbie lay on a blue cot surrounded by various moving supplies (some extra boxes, some tape, a backpack, a cat carrier and so on). Calcifer looks reasonable snuggled in the center of the bed but Teresa is sitting close to the edge with her head hanging down as if she is tired of this world.
Teresa has now gotten quite comfortable with cot life and is laying on her side with her belly showing. Her face is tilted so you can see her cute black chin spot and she is completely asleep.
Calcifer and Teresa lay on opposite ends of a cot napping in complete comfort.
Well a cross country move with two cats is officially in the books 😅. Move out day was a little rough and since our flight got changed a few times we spent a few nights on cots which Teresa didn't love but quickly adapted to.

Teresa, a calico torbie, is sitting on the shelf of a tan corner bookcase on top of a few boxes full of books. She is wiggling herself backwards and getting into position. Calcifer, a buff orange tabby, sits on top of the bookcase in front of a TV watching intently to see if Teresa is ready.
Calcifer's paw is now in motion as he slaps down at Teresa who has her mouth wide as she prepares to bite.
Both Calcifer and Teresa now stare at their mother. Calcifer looks vaguely annoyed at being caught and their game being delayed. Teresa is the picture of innocence as she sweetly peeks out from her hide out. She is definitely not the one who initiated this game. Absolutely not - she was just sitting here minding her own business.
A story in 3 parts:
1) Let's play a game!
2) Fun slappy bitey game!
3) Oh no mom is watching... Act natural!

Yes! She was starting to get a bit too round as once her and Calcifer became friends she would go over to his bowl and yell sadly so he would open it and let her eat all his food completely defeating the point of the microchip feeder 🤦🏻♀️. But getting her a timed feeder seems to have solved that!

She will still get up there on occasion but she definitely doesn't go searching as much now that she has been getting food consistently. Now any dropped crumbs are a completely different story 😄.

Teresa, a calico torbie, lays on a bath mat in the hallway curled in an almost closed "p" shape on her back. Her white belly is fully exposed. She lays with the top of her head on the bath mat looking at the camera upside down. She has her one front paw extended up and out - maybe for a high five, maybe for a slap, it is very unclear - and has a very silly look in her eye.
Teresa, a calico torbie, is laying on her back with her white tummy exposed in the bathroom being a very long girl. She uses her one front paw to grab the edge of the sink and stretch herself even longer.
Calcifer, a buff orange tabby, lays on top of the air conditioner next to some plants in a window revealing how orange he actually is. His face is smushed against the plant pot closest to him because his mother accidentally moved it an inch farther right than usual and his brain can't deal with that small movement.
A close up of Calcifer smushing his face against the plant pot and being a big weirdo. Does this look comfortable? No! Did that encourage him to move? Absolutely not!
Some ridiculous creatures to make today a little less depressing.

Teresa, a calico torbie, is sprawled out asleep on a small white movable dishwasher. Her back leggies are hanging off the edge.
Teresa is now sitting the opposite way on the dishwasher. The fan has just turned off and it will soon start to cool off. She has her stomach and chin exposed to the sky. Her leggies are still extended off the edge. She has absolutely no cares.
Teresa looks up at her parents as she lays on her dad's black T-shirt that has somehow made its way into the floor. The look on her face and her extended front paw says this is mine now. Her favorite donut toy sits behind her.
Teresa loves laying on top of the warm dishwasher. We also went away for a week recently and ever since then if we leave any of our clothes accessible when we leave our apartment we come back to her having nested upon it. I guess she missed us 😂🥰.

Light blue curtains cover a window with an air conditioner right below it making a nice window ledge. On the ledge 2 cat butts can be seen, 1 buff orange one (Calcifer) and 1 calico torbie one (Teresa), sitting next to each other enjoying the view.
Teresa, a calico torbie, and Calcifer, a buff orange tabby, lay next to each other on a light and dark blue comforter curled up next to their dad's legs. They look directly at the camera at their mom who interrupted their nap for this photo.
Calcifer, a buff orange tabby, and Teresa, a calico torbie, lay next to each other on top of the arm of a beige couch. They are each looking over their shoulder in the exact same pose at their mom because she made a weird noise at their cuteness.
Teresa, a calico torbie, lays sideways on a beige couch with her head cocked side ways and one ear pushed firmly into the couch with her chin to the sky. She has a silly look in her eye and her one front paw reaches out to grab her mom's toe.
Hey everyone! Sorry for disappearing - I have been mainly keeping off social media for my mental health as I was doom scrolling way too much. But just know we are all good here. Calcifer and Teresa are officially friends and she continues to be a ridiculous creature who I love very much.

Calcifer, a buff orange tabby, grooms Teresa, a calico torbie. He has his arm around her neck and is pulling her in closer as they sit on a tan couch next to their mom's legs.
Teresa, a calico torbie, lays in a perfect circle partially on top of Calcifer, a buff orange tabby. He seems very unsure about this situation.
I think they are fully friends now 🥹🥹! When he goes into full zoomies mode she can still get overwhelmed but she has learned that getting up high avoids most of the carnage 😂😂.

Teresa, a calico torbie, clings to her mom's leg for a cuddle. Her front leg dangles down her mom's legs as she sits at an angle with her head on her mom's knees. Her dad's elbow is seen in the background.
Teresa, a calico torbie, lays on a blue bath mat lounging directly behind her mom's legs sticking her head between her feet as her mom tries to brush her teeth.
Teresa, a calico torbie, lays in a silly manner on top of both a box and a bag on her back with her front leg flung out.
Teresa, a calico torbie, and Calcifer, a buff orange tabby, lay together on a tan couch staring in annoyance after their mom made the mistake of trying to clean the floor when they were resting.
She is doing so well! I need to get back on to social media and update everyone more often but she is wonderful - full of love and sillyness.

Calcifer, a buff orange tabby, stares at the camera with a very 'mother why?' face. He is curled in a half donut with amazing cowboy cat pins from the Cat Hive sitting on his back.
I had a bit of a crazy week so it was so nice to find these in my mailbox. I call Calcifer my Cal-boy so it felt appropriate. Thanks @thecathive.bsky.social !
