So after I rehomed 13 - to be an only cat in a nice new house, Gray, my last adult female cat was . . . fine. I worried that she'd pine or try to search for 13 because she always acted concerned when 13 got locked in another room and freaked out or wouldn't come in from outside by herself. (When the roles were reversed 13 never showed any emotion over Gray.) But Gray just kept on keeping on, but I felt bad that she was by herself so much and also I wanted another kitten with the hopes to see them play and be cute like the internet cats.
A typical adult cat is less than pleased with interlopers and often take a couple of weeks to warm up to a new kitten. Gray took 3 days to start playing with him and tolerating some irritating kitten behaviors! I waited until I could get a male kitten raised in a house by multiple people and used to other cats and dogs, so I definitely tried to hedge my bet there. I'm really hoping they'll be pals.
first day, first chance to escape the carrier.
pls ignore the terrible things I've done to this screen
tentative meeting (and my vehicle pre engine explodey)
first night at home with the only little toy i could find that the other cats never played with
still unsure about this little screaming jerk armed with so many kitten knives (my legs are torn to shreds!)
took Mackie to work with me on Sunday and he was a very good boy and easily distracted by cat tv
nap time at work!
wait for it. . .
and the fight is on!
so much nap time!
it's so hard to get a good pic of them wrestling
required kitten steals the big dog bed pic
i finally got them both on my lap at the same time! \0/
It blows my mind that I, a reasonably responsible adult, is allowed to bring this supremely dumb little baby into my home. He got so excited about a piece of bacon last night. Not eating it. No, that would make too much sense. He played with and batted that little piece of bacon around for twenty mins before he left it for the dog.
