We've had Arien for 3 years now! Actually, her real gotcha day was Tuesday, September 6, but I'm just now getting these posted. I really love how much Arien has grown and matured over these last 3 years. She is such a sweet girl who definitely still has a crazy streak in her to keep me on my toes. She still loves to jump onto my shoulders as I make my coffee or wash dishes. She does spend a lot of time sleeping during the day, but she often chooses to sleep in her hammock in the office if that's where I am to work. If she instead chooses to sleep in our bedroom during the day, then whenever she wakes up in the afternoon, she finds me and rubs against my legs and begs for some cuddles.
The biggest change this past year is that Arien decided Joe was a nice guy to cuddle and ever since then, I think she actually prefers him. Which I admit does sometimes make me jealous since she's only alive thanks to me hand-raising her. But I generally love seeing her climbing up Joe's chest and head butting him before he finally pushes her to lay down where she stays purring and drooling on him. 😂 Whenever Joe or I reject Arien's advances for cuddles, she goes to Kira who always happily gives her a bath. Typically about half way through this, Arien gets upset at Kira for licking her hair the wrong way and then Kira gets upset at Arien for not appreciating the effort and after a bit of fighting, Arien decides she should check again to see if the humans will cuddle her.
Arien seriously is such a great cat! I'm so glad that after my parents found her and realized they were stuck with her, I didn't wait for them to find someone else to take her and instead decided to hand-raise her myself. 💓
Check out the videos at the bottom! The first is from about a week after I brought her home! The second was a couple weeks later.
