Are settling in, very close to being assimilated. They both can do the kitty door. Bobby uses it much more that Miss does, she spends most of her time on the bed.
As mom told me before, Miss does have a problem with constipation. I noticed her stool earlier this week, it looked pretty dry. So, I started giving her a small amount of kitty laxative every couple of days. She doesn’t love it. *grin*
Bobby is starting to gain a little weight, Brian and I were both surprised at how light he was. From looking at him, you’d expect some heaviness from muscles alone, but he’s just a light cat. I’m nervous about light cats, there’s something not right about a cat who’s lightweight. Mom always had food out for him, maybe it was just the quality. Brian believes that mom fed them the cheapest food available. Probably because the cheap stuff is the tastiest (which I hate to admit) and it may have been the only thing they’d eat. But they don’t mind the Felidae dry we keep out. We even put a small feeder in the bedroom for Miss, which all of the bedroom cats eat from.
Bobby has calmed down considerably at night time. He still cries at the bedroom window occasionally (I think when he sees other cats out there), but for the most part, he doesn’t. He is the first cat out when I open the door at four. But then he’ll come in and sleep. Just like the other cats.
And wonderfully, there hasn’t been any fighting. The other cats are over any “new cat” wierdness. Miss is very protective of her bounderies and hisses and growls other cats out of her way. And so far, no cat has challenged this.
It broke my heart so see the sad look on my mom’s face the other day when she was talking about her cats, but leaving them at her place was not an option. They’ll be okay here and that’s what’s important for them right now.
