Yes I am saying sweet Cobalt. I think someone gave Cobalt the memo that if she did not smarten up in the next couple of months she was out of hear before baby came. Cobalt is a wonderful cat for the most part to Mark and I, but with others she is a little brat. She will come up to you and ask you to pet her and then all of a sudden start hissing at you and scratching at you. She has such a temper and the strangest things will set her off. These last couple of months though Mark and I have tried really hard to make her feel special. Ex: leaving the door open at night so she feels welcomed to come and sleep in the bedroom with us, taking time out of our day to pet her, making sure she gets treats when the puppies get treats, letting her be inside when she wants. What a difference it has made in her personality. About a month ago we had friends over and she sat on the guys lap and let him pet her for 30 minutes and never got mad. She plays back with Lily, when Lily tries to play with her, this is the first Christmas without a broken ornament. It is actually kind of sweet how she just sits under the tree and sleeps. Instead of trying to climb up it and destroy everything. I love that I am starting to have loving feelings towards Cobalt again, and wanting her to be in our home, instead of trying to find ways to convince Mark to get rid of her. As long as she does not try to smoother Macie or sleep in her crib, she is hear to stay.
Did you have cobalt before the dogs? Maybe it is a simple case of sibling jelousy? It is neat to see how extra attention can turn around kids and pets! Hopefully she is good with Macie :)
