Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / July 2003O'Molley-Hercules & Xena....pls, wish us luck! (Long)
Hi....... The big day has arrived; I am adopting another kitty!!!!!!!! Xena is getting a brother, a 5-year old Red Burmese named O'Molley. He comes to us by recommendation of our Vet, from a marriage split-up. He has just acquired another name of Hercules (from me), to match Xena. O'Molley-Hercules arrives tomorrow, and I am getting my large bathroom ready for him - bed, scratching post, litter tray, etc. I was just so excited, I would have to let everybody know!!!. I am prepared to take as long as it needs for Xena and Hercules to become friends, and I hope that it won't annoy anyone when I keep posting for advise or just to share...... Please, wish us luck! >^^<;>^^<:)))))))) Andr0 > Hi....... > The big day has arrived; I am adopting another kitty!!!!!!!!

That'd be the day. :) I'm looking forward to hearing about him and your growing gang. > Please, wish us luck! Of course, best of luck and purrs. > >^^<;>^^<:)))))))) > Andr0 Cheryl Hi All, on Tuesday night They are both alive and seemingly happy. Xena hasn't hissed even once!!!! O'Malley Mini-Hercules is fine, eats ( a little) and uses his litter box! (Gosh! I have never had a male cat; that urine stinks like someone had diarrhoea; thats what I thought, but found no evidence) Looks like we are progressing well, so I will keep it brief for now; we still need luck. Particularly with a tiny regal pedigree red burmese prince like O'Malley.......LOL!...and an angry wild and beautiful Moggie Queen Xena........hehehe....... at the moment, they seem to compete for the ownership of ME. I wonder, what they are discussing while I am at work, huh? Be Back as soon as something significant happens, or tomorrow. Hugs, Andr0, Xena & O'Malley > Hi....... > The big day has arrived; I am adopting another kitty!!!!!!!! [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >^^<;>^^<:)))))))) > Andr0 We do have a set-back:( I was confident that Xena stopped hissing and carrying on when confronted by O'Malleys scent. So, this morning I picked him up, patted him, and then went and without washing my hands tried the same with Xena. No luck:( Hissing, growling, even some patting with her paw at me. But no real attack. On the other hand O'Malley is so hungry for attention, he just can't take being in the bathroom any more...... This morning he threw a real tantrum when I was in the shower, he actually jumped on top of it from the toilet tank and I had to catch him or else he might slip and fall 2 metres to the tiled floor. His screams scared Xena so badly, that she hid in my bed under covers. She is basically OK with all this since he is not (for now) claiming any territory and as long as I don't touch him. Maybe I should avoid contact with O'Malley; it makes him want more attention once he gets any. Move him to the other bathroom that I don't use and limit my visits there to feeding and cleaning. But, would that help? Only prolong the pain I guess, since Xena just won't accept me patting him at all. Should I simply let them meet and sort it out? I am going to the Vet's shortly to collect some Feliway, and I also ordered a remedy from a Holistic Vet which I should have by Friday. Please keep wishing us luck.

Move him to the other bathroom that I don't use and limit > my visits there to feeding and cleaning. It's understandable about the setback. I hope that Megan or someone can offer something but I don't think that denying O'Malley the Herc attention will help everyone in the long run, and the poor boy needs attention as much as Xena does. Hang in there... I'm sure it will all work out. It hasn't been that long. :) |
