We have a new cat!
12 Nov 06 in Pets and AnimalsMy brother in law moved in with us on Thursday, bringing with him his ginger and white tabby called Moses. He's so named because when he was a kitten he was a basket case. He seems to be settling in well with our cats, although he can't quite work it out when our cats just sit there and ignore him. He's expecting them to be hostile as he's in "their" house but they're fine with it, just curious. When he first arrived we had a bit of grumbling but they've accepted it now. We've nicknamed Davi and Margaret the raptors (from Jurassic Park) because at their first introduction to Moses they crept up on two sides like the raptors in the film and scared poor Moses to death. For two days he'd howl when he saw them both together. Today Davi was asleep on the sofa and Moses went up and had a sniff, as soon as Davi woke up and looked round he backed off to a safe distance but Davi just curled up and went back to sleep. You could see Moses couldn't understand it because he kept looking over as if to say "did he really go back to sleep and just ignore me?". Then Margaret came in and went up to Moses to have a sniff and he went back to the stairway door and asked to be let back upstairs (he stays in Kris's room out of the way normally). He's fine with Cuddles because Cuddles has been neutered, but the other two are still proper Toms.
Anyways I'm rambling now lol I'll update when there's any new developments :O)

My friend's cat doesn't like her new kitten friend at all. He's hoping once the kitten gets a little older and less boisterous that she'll come around.
