First play "date"

Here is a picture of Minchie and I resting on the cool bathroom floor after our first play "date". The three of us were playing "mousies falling from the bedroom ceiling" on the bed when all of a sudden Minchie and I decided to start practising the thundering herd of elephants. We did very well. Mom was standing there in utter disbelief laughing, SQUEEING, and had tears in her eyes and goosebumps she was so excited we were playing together. What really blew her mind (what little she has left...teeheehee!) was when we laid this close to each other after. This seems to be the beginning of the turning point for us! We have never seen a cat run as fast as Minchie can!!! He could definitely be in the Cat Olympics! Mom said she also did not know I could run as fast as I did. We feel sorry for the man who lives in the condo below us. Maybe mom should go down and explain to him that at times his ceiling is not in endanger of falling down.

Another good spot

Just discovered this great sleep hidaway. Seems like everytime I turn around there is another comfy bed.

zzzzz.....

Mom here: Well, yesterday there was a lot of hissing but added to the mix is head bopping. Even one or two brief kitty kisses that didn't end in hissing. It's been less than 72 hours so I still have to be patient. Minchie slept all night on the top of the cat tree. Woke up once and Laila was under the sheet right up next to me. Now, that's a first!

Breakfast treats

WOW! First thing mom does when she gets up is give us our breakfast treats. Not bad! Think I'm really gonna like living here!

Laila had already scarfed down her treats and was such a big help taking care of the ones I dropped on the floor.

Mom here. It went well last evening. Some hissing/growling mostly on Laila's part, but she's just telling him like it is and she's the alpha kitty here. Once in a while Minchie talks back to her. Decided to leave the bedroom door open and it went very well. Didn't hear any horrible cat fights going on. A few times woke up and Minchie was conked out on the bed with me. Laila generally doesn't come up until around 5:00 am so when she did there was a little hissing then, but it went well considering they've only been around each other less than 48 hours. I'm so happy Minchie is here and he's such a love. It won't be long before the two of them will be bonded forever. Last night I was in the recliner watching tv and he was on my lap. It was hysterical! He was sort of laying on his back with his legs up in the air and looked just like petrified road kill! I couldn't stop laughing! Where's a camera when you need one? I'll be sure it's next to me in the future when I sit there.

Minchie's first Mancat Monday

I really luvs my new furever home! It's like a kitty amusement park. Got to sleep with mommie last night and she really appreciated the back massages I was giving her throughout the night. For some reason she's going to be drinking a lot of coffee today. I even jumped the double gates in the doorway with no trouble at all.

Laila and I are starting to get a little closer. I really think she and I are going to end up good buddies in time.

Closer still. Laila is laying where the litter boxes usually are. Mom has them strategically placed for now.

Laila came out...

...and there was quite the hissing going on but each keeping their distance. This is normal we know and it will just take some time. But when I'm not here they will definitely be separated. I feel so bad for Laila.

He's here!!!

Mom here. Minchie has taken to our place like a fish to water! He's totally, 100% comfortable here! It's extremely difficult to type as he keeps jumping up on my lap and trying to get my undivided attention. When I brought him in I placed him on the living room floor and just waited for Laila to come over. She was very curious and they sniffed each other a lot through the mesh of the carrier then all of a sudden she hissed at him and steered clear. Where is she now?

Minchie knows Laila is under the couch and is waiting for her to come out and play. In time.

TODAY IS THE DAY!!!

Foster mom Sue called late last night and said she would have Minchie Meow with her at the shelter today while she worked adoptions and mom can get him there. Mom says Sue sounds more excited than her! This is so exciting! I hope he likes me because I just know I'll luvs him! Stay tuned all day for progress reports and pictures!

This is Rickie, the doggie mom was staying with the past 4 days. She's so sweet and cute. My sister, who came before me, Cerise, and Rickie were very good friends. They would come to the office sometimes and "play". But of course Cerise was the boss. Cats rule!

Smile for the camera!

One more day!!!

Well, we haven't heard from foster mom Sue, so I guess it's not "or sooner". Looks like tomorrow will be the big day! I can't wait! Mom has been dog sitting Rickie and hasn't been here much. But yesterday she did spend a lot of the day with me. I was a very bad girl the first hour she was home and was making quite a nuisance of myself. I was being very demanding of her attention and was very vocal at the sink for my waters. Then she was on the phone and I got the great idea to knock over my food bowl and crash it into the water bowl. That got her attention! But she said something about cleaning it up later and went back to her phone call. I can't wait until life gets back to normal later this afternoon!

This is a commercial we saw the other day. Mom thought it was so cute and was amazed they could get this cat to do this. Turkish Angoras, which is what Minchie is, love the water, so we was wonderin' if that cat is a Turkish Angora.
