Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / April 2006my new kitty
My 16 year old cat Tiger diede last month. My 6 year old guy, Otto, has been very subdued since then. I knew I'd get him a friend eventually and last week I went to a shelter near work and met some cats and talked to the staff. One cat in particular I thought about all week/weekend and today I went back to see him again. This time I was allowed to take him into a room to play and he was absolutely sweet & fabulous. I signed the papers, paid his fee and now he's mine! We're still at work, where Stinky & Harriet aren't too happy about the newcomer even though we're now locked in my office. He'll be confined to my bedroom for awhile once we get home. Here's his page from Petfinder. I'm pretty sure I'll be changing his name as soon as I know what it should be: http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=5967384 -- Liz I think he is lovely, congrats on giving him a loving home. sandra Aww... He looks so sweet! Good for you! He will be the so appreciative. >My 16 year old cat Tiger diede last month. My 6 year old guy, Otto, has >been very subdued since then.

I was hesitant about getting another cat too quickly but I knew my 2 1/2 year old really needed a buddy. So 3 weeks ago I adopted a 7 month old kitten....from petfinder.com like you. Your new boy is very handsome. Sue > My 16 year old cat Tiger diede last month. My 6 year old guy, Otto, has > been very subdued since then.

My Otto is a little upset about the newcomer (who is locked in the bedroom for now) but I know he'll come around. Last year I brought home one of the cats from work a lot on the weekends/holidays (to medicate/monitor her) and Otto got used to her quickly. Harriet hated Otto so they never became buddies, but they'd mostly ignore each other and a few times I caught them both sleeping on the bed, with a pile of blankets between them. I'm hoping that Otto will adapt to his new brother quickly because I know my new guy would love to play with him. He didn't hiss or growl at the cats at work even when they were hissing and growling at him. -- Liz Give it some time and introduce them slowly. It's been 3 weeks for me and my resident cat, Wally, still gets his nose out of joint a little bit, but he is adjusting okay to the new cat. They really are fun to watch together.

Otto pretty much completely forgets about him when the bedroom door is shut. He was the same way for the most part when I'd have Harriet visiting, although sometimes he'd camp outside the door for a bit. Last night I put Otto in the bedroom for awhile so the new guy could roam around. Once Otto decided he had enough confinement and started rattling the doorknob I switched them back. -- Liz > I knew I'd get him a friend eventually and > last week I went to a shelter near work and met some cats and talked to the [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=5967384 Bless you for getting an adult! You'll find he's pretty active. At least, mine was at that age. Still is. Almost as bad as a kitten, but heavier. :)  SignatureWeb site: http://www.slywy.com/ Message board: http://www.slywy.com/phpBB2/ Journal: http://slywy.blogspot.com/ > Bless you for getting an adult! You'll find he's pretty active. At > least, mine was at that age. Still is. Almost as bad as a kitten, but > heavier. :) I knew that I wanted a young adult cat. When I was at the shelter today I heard a worker telling a man that they would only be accepting kittens for awhile now, I guess since they move out quicker than the adults. The cats they had ranged in age from 8 months to about 8 years. Most were in the 1-3 range. He is a very playful boy! So is Otto, and he'll be 7 years old this summer. Otto did some hissing when he saw me bring the new guy in. I have the new kitty in my bedroom and Otto is now off sleeping. New guy was in my office all afternoon and had a great time climbing on everything and playing with his mouse. I posted a couple of pictures from hom on alt.binaries.pictures.animals. -- Liz Elizabeth Blake <poodlebone@NOSPAMearthlink.net> wrote in rec.pets.cats.health+behav: > My 16 year old cat Tiger diede last month.

Almost every orange male tabby I've ever know was a mush.. and big! I think your cats will get along great. Here's my big orange fella: http://maxshouse.com/album/neo-spread.jpg http://maxshouse.com/Ours/Neo-Close-up.jpg Best of luck to you both, Phil > Almost every orange male tabby I've ever know was a mush.. I wish someone would tell Hodge that! After several months of being mostly good, he ran out from under the desk the other day, took a piece out of my leg, and ran back under the desk. (One difference: When I first got him, he would have kept biting. Now it's a quick but hard nip and a running off, because he seems to have finally figured out he shouldn't be doing it.) Then, that night, when I was on the phone, he ran on the bed, tried to bite my stomach, and ran off again. I still can't trust him 100 percent. Then later yet, he put his head on my knee when I was watching TV. Then swiped at me in a few minutes. Could be spring . . .

I like the white stripe all the way up his face. My new guy is 1.5 years old and he's tiny. He's a total sweetheart, though. He was so good last night, cuddled a lot didn't make a sound. This morning when I was awake enough I called him and he came running over to throw himself on me. He was getting very excited and nipped my cheek a couple of time - not hard at all. I think he was just really happy that I was awake and petting him. He also licked my face a few times. He was sent home on Flagyl, because he had (has) diarrhea. I hope that clears up soon - he's got another 2 days on the medication. They gave me a little stool sample collector thing but when he went last night (mush) he buried it before I even knew he went. -- Liz What a beautiful boy! |
