All is well.  Remember when I was afraid she would be too shy and not playful?  What a joke!  She is a great combination of very playful AND very snuggly.  She sleeps on my neck at night and LICKS like made.  Her new name--after much deliberation among family members--is Suvi.  (Sounds like Sue V) It is an old Finnish word for Summer, and is a girl's name.  Kind of like "Autumn" here.  We figured since we got her in the summer, it worked.  

 

Suvi has been 100% perfect on her littler box skills--even when she's playing downstairs, she will RUN upstairs and dive bomb her box to make it on time. 

 Our neighbor teen-aged cat was soooo happy to see her! She has been mourning our kitty that we lost.  Suvi smacked her along the head and walked off.  I hope that relationship improves.

We are still working on staying off the dining room table. A spray bottle is helping Suvi remember that cats don't belong on tables.
