We have a cat. Still testing names but he’s responding to “Mochi” well. As you can see, he’s a bit of a chunky boy and will have to be on a diet and exercise regimen for a while. But he seems to be doing well and likes having an entire bedroom to explore, instead of just a 3×3 foot cube.
He has discovered
The crinkle paper.
We haven’t introduced him to Charlie the dog yet on the advice of the shelter- first 24 hours are “sniff through the door time” and tomorrow is “hold Charleston while Kitty sniffs and explores more of the house time”. Slow introductions are less stressful and will result in better relationship later.
Updates:
Like every other domestic cat I’ve hung out with, he’s a Titty Kitty and wants to sleep on my chest
He’s a biscuit-making baby, kneading everything
even titty, but very nicely and without claws
We have done the Look-At-Eachother-Through-A-Cracked-Door Test, and Kitty hissed a bit and got puffy but didn’t run, which is about what we’d expect for day 1.
Charlie, on the other hand is STOKED about Kitty and is sitting up by the bedroom door hoping that kitty will come out to play.
