Sienna updates

Sienna is almost 6 months old now!  Time flies!  Yet she is such a part of our lives now that I cannot believe we've only had her for 4 months.

Toilet training is going well.  It is disappointing that she is not already finished with it but slow and steady seems to work well for her.  I have been cutting out rings VERY slowly...1/4 ring at a time so she is not surprised by the changes.  It's funny that when you have pets or children, the word "poop" is not awkward to say anymore.

She knows many tricks and we are working on more.  Our friends are amazed with what she can do and honestly I am too.  Here is her trick resume:
Sit
Paw
Up (sits up on hind legs)
High Five (high ten usually)
Spin
Kiss
Stay (she'll only do this in training.. not in real life yet)
Over (jump over an arm)

We started training her a few weeks after we got her.  I will film them soon to share... there are so many cat videos out there but I think if we get a few more tricks down, she'll take the cake!

She'll be getting her 6 month check-up soon.  I will also have to pay for another rabies shot because of a technicality when we got her.  Basically, she was 8weeks old when I got her and her records show she had the shot, but the rabies shot should not be administered until 12 weeks.  So, hypothetically if she bit someone and they had looked at the records, they could say she was too young when we got her and that she never got the shot.  SO- she'll get a new shot... it will not harm her.

She is less and less a kitten.  She does not play like she did when she was a baby, but she's still cute, still playful and still sleeps like a doofus.

One of my favorite games she plays is when she chases Joe.  He'll hide in the kitchen and she'll see him from down the hall, stalk him, and sprint over to say hi.  Super cute.  We love her so much.  I'll take new photos and add them soon.
