The Duchess and The Pauper

We have had our psycho kitty for a little over three months now and have been talking about getting her a playmate. Chris is constantly on me to stop calling her psycho kitty, poot head pookie, and the many other "pet names" I have given her. He says she is going to get confused on what her REAL name is. I most often call her psycho kitty and rarely call her Duchess (which is what her name is supposed to be). Well, today we finally took the plunge and got another kitty. A playmate for our little Duchess. We have named her Pauper. She is not a "breed" cat - but just your average calico cat. She is sweet, but Duchess and TaiChi don't seem to like having her around. I guess it will take them a little while to get used to each other. Poor Taichi, I am sure she is wondering "Why Me? Why do I have to be in a house with not one - but TWO cats...." She is a good dog though and I am sure that eventually she will tolerate Pauper as much as she tolerates Duchess - maybe even more. I have been trying really hard to call Duchess by her REAL name since we brought home Pauper and have tried really hard to call Pauper by her name as well. She is a sweet kitty and I am really excited to see her personality come out more and more.
