OT: ANOTHER New Cat Baby

Posted by Tia Mary on January 10, 2009, 3:54 pm

Hi Guys,
Well, we are now back up to THREE cats!!!! We went to the closest
Pet Smart to return the carrier that IvyJane was in when we got her.
The kitty I had first wanted -- Bunnie -- was still there. She did what
she has done every time I have been to see her -- stopped what she was
doing, made immediate eye contact with MOI and didn't stop looking at
me. I had been told that she didn't really get along with other cats
and that's why we chose IvyJane.
Well, turns out that Bunnie didn't start having problems with other
cats *until* she started having to spend all of her time in a cage!
When she was first rescued, she was kept in a large room with the other
cats and had no problems. That was all I needed to hear :-). Poor DH,
I told him when we saw her that if the lady in charge (not there but
contacted by phone) said there was ANY way she thought Bunnie could
adjust then we would have three cats again.
So Bunnie (The Bodacious Ms. B who weighs in at 12# 7oz and is on a
diet) is now in the bathroom with the same setup as IvyJane had. The
difference is that she came right out of that carrier ASAP and started
to chow down. I got the cat brush (suitable for short haired cats
only), went into the bathroom, sat on the floor and Miss B was right
there, laid down next to me and proceeded to present her parts for a
vigorous brushing. Methinks she's going to fit in nicely and I honestly
don't think there will be a big problem with adjusting to the other
cats. Cassie (Baby Cat) just ignores other cats and IvyJane is a
stealth kitty so things should work out OK.
DH took some photos and I will have to upload them to Webshots when
I get the time. She's a lovely, short haired, pulchritudinous dilute
calico and when she slims down will be quite the little lady. She just
now let out a large meow and Cassie just slept through it -- LOLOL!

Wow - you now have a full complement! Congrats. I hate going to the
Petsmart when the adoptees are there - I'm always tempted, but we're
definitely not ready for more animals in the house...yet.

Congrats again, she sounds lovely. A zoftig cat. Reubenesque?

Most definitely zoftig and supremely Reubenesque -- LOL! If all
you saw was her skinny tail and slender face and teensy, tiny little
paws, you'd think she was about 7#. Then you add in the belly and she's
quite rotund :-). I have posted her photo at my "Our Babies" Webshots

I'm sure she will be fine. I've been thinking of getting another cat
to keep Max company but I'm not sure that is what he wants. He's 15
and it could be a bit hard for him to adjust to a new companion. Plus
the floors are being done this year - if he escaped outside I know
he'd come back in an hour or two. Not necessarily so with a new cat.

On the other hand, I'm away a lot and even when I'm there I don't give
him tongue baths. He has been very cuddly since Maggie died.

Time to clean.
