They're here!

[optimism]

Princess Buttercup:

And our very handsome Cuddley-Bare:

So far things are going uneventfully, which is good. They are both using the litterbox fine (we have different litter than their previous owner) and they are eating and drinking. The boy is more stressed out at the move than the girl, but both come looking for cuddles when we come into the master bedroom/bath area where we have them for now for separation purposes.

Also, while I'm not big into pedigrees and titles and stuff, I can see how these two are retired TICA champions (the girl has grand champion, the boy champion). They have NO hair anywhere. No whiskers. No fuzz. Their skin is crazy soft.

One more, just after we got them home:

@optimism , Happy Gotcha ! They are gorgeous ! Looking forward to your stories and pics!
Great to keep separated till all settled in I did this for a week -10 days- I took very slow just to be careful- even though they were all up to date on shots and vet checked - and added some extra l Lysine in their wet food- less stress the better- batman was the last to come out end explore- I left the door open just let him decide when end how far and with who to explore.

**Also, ask if they were microchipped - you will need to update this -

I did slow intros at their own pace with my herd of 4 nakeds that I adopted all within a short time with lots of treats n Dabird toy! Batman was slower to come around and stayed on the top perch of his cat tree he came with-( I also added extra litter boxes and cat trees)
Wow! You should see him now! Never shuts up and runs like the wind with the others tail wagginin the air!
It too about a month for all the newbies to shine their personalities - we are their human space heaters all at once! My legs go numb i can't wait hear all about your adventures!

I look forward to your journey! Thank you for opening your heart and home to adoptees
I am so excited and happy for you!

 

[Ickushouse]

Ah yes! I'm with you now! THESE beauties!!!!

 

[deanna]

They are so gorgeous! Happy gotcha day! I can't wait to see more photos. Hope it keeps going well

@Yoda mom they are all current on vaccinations and everything, they are not microchipped so I will probably be taking care of that soon. They're really only separated for slow introduction purposes - all 4 are fixed and fully vetted. We are doing space swaps and some visual intros where they can't get at each other. There is some hissing, but not really menacing or angry hisses if you know what I mean. I didn't know that there were different sounding hisses before I got cats of my own...

Right now I am feeling impatient though because the new two have really started warming up to me and my husband and I would like to be able to play and snuggle with them outside of a bathroom&closet. Also they seem to know that there is a lot more house through the doors that they would like to go explore.

When I got a second cat I fed them on separate sides of a door with the door cracked open. The food bowls were about 6-12 inches apart. My first cat was totally fine with the new addition, but the new addition used to growl through her whole meal...not sure how she could do that and swallow but she managed!

Introductions took a week btw.

 

[Don Waffle]

Congratulations!! The rubber-balds are so freaking soft, aren't they? And so warm!
Your two new babies are beautiful! I am so happy for your new adventure with them.

 

[Yoda mom]

@optimism , thinking of you and your babies and checking in!

 

[optimism]

@Yoda mom we have been busy falling in love. I already feel like I will be devastated if we have any insurmountable personality conflicts with Sansa or Luna - their previous owners are willing to take them back and rehome them if that were to occur but I would miss them so much already.

Bare is our only male cat and usually my husband has a strong preference for female pets, but Bare has head-butted his way into my husband's heart already, and he lets me snuggle-hug hold him and kiss his bare wrinkly head, so I am in love too.

Princess is a diva and a lover, but I think she is going to chose one of the kids to be her favorite human. For some reason she refuses to even sit on our bed much less lay down or snuggle one it. Her previous owner said she was the queen of their bed and didn't allow other females on it at all while she was - I am wondering if our bed is already too scent marked by our other girls for her to even bother. I don't know if that is how cats work then, since I am new to this whole kitty business.

Pictures!
