Nina K Pettis - 19 Dec 2004 15:12 GMT

Yesterday, Lucas made his way from the kitchen to the bedroom, where the
litterbox is located. After using the facilities, he decided to get
behind the bed, and that's where he is now. (At his former home, his
preferred hiding place was under the bed; this is a platform bed, so
there's no "under", but there's a space behind the head of the bed
that's just right for a kitty.) We've been able to pet him (loves it!)
and give him food and water of his very own, both of which he quickly
absorbed. He ventured out into the bedroom with Jake for a few minutes
this morning, but Abbie (the d*g) over-reacted and scared them both into
flight to the top of the chest of drawers... he's behind the bed again,
but still eating.

A few more days should tell the tale. At least Cajun (now Seth) has
stopped growling and cursing him; that's got to help!

Many purrs that Lucas will soon feel at home. It's hard for a new kitty to
integrate, especially if there is a dog there which he might never have had
to cope with before.
Scritches to Lucas under the bed.

New update: In the middle of the night, Lucas appeared on the foot of
the bed, looking quite comfortable and growling steadily. He stayed for
a while and then went back to his cave. Seth sat on the other side of
the bed and watched him carefully, but didn't growl! Abbie the d*g was
concerned, but nobody was aggressive toward him, and he let me pet him
(while he growled, but it was clearly just a warning).

This morning, when I got out of bed, he was trying to get back to the
cave, but the hole is too small on that side of the bed; he had to back
up and go around... I didn't snicker at him, honest!

Glad to hear he is making himself comfortable. Hope the growling stops
eventually, when he realises he's in his onetruehome.

Ever hear him purr? I ask because back when Rocky was deciding being
petted and scritched was a Good thing he didn't know how to purr, and
growled instead. Once he discovered purring, he stopped growling.
