Well after 25 years and 7 failed attempts at Gotcha Day, mine finally arrived on the 8th try, last night! Uber and his other humans arrived around 5:45 pm local time yesterday. It was so funny, Uber arrived at our door, in his other mom's arm, wriggling to get down right away! So she plopped him down after we shut the front door and off he went, sniffing and rubbing his face on everything and talking up a storm! We played him with him and the pheasant feathers his other mom brought, and had him rub up against our legs. He got in our laps for brief moments but really most of the evening he was cruising all over checking everything out. He ventured upstairs several times to sniff at our girls from under their door. I didn't hear any hissing from the girls but Uber had a low rumbly closed-mouth growl thing going on. His body language seemed relaxed though. He had a tiny appetizer of Wooter's kibble leftovers (maybe a teaspoon worth) and had his raw dinner. Later in the evening around quarter till 8, he finally decided to mellow out some to watch TV with me.
I was afraid he'd patrol our bedroom and bathroom all night and make a ruckus but he was very good. :joyful:
I let Uber and the girls see each other through the cracked door of the girls' room and Uber just did his low rumbling but still looked fairly relaxed and confident. Wooter came close and gave a good sniff but didn't hiss. Aurora was resting comfortably and saw the cracked door but didn't move to come to investigate.
While I was at work today my daughter accidentally let Wooter out but there wasn't much inter-cat drama.
Uber is having a siesta right now. He's been napping for a couple hours, so hopefully he'll decide to wake up before we need to start our dinner so we can do more door-crack interactions with Aurora and Wooter. We are thinking tomorrow we will let them all loose with supervision for a little bit to see how they do.
I've shared about Uber's arrival on my Instagram and Facebook and I'm trying hard not to spam everyone. This has been such an event! And I'm SO HAPPY he's finally here! I feel like I never want to stop looking at him or petting him if he's near me. I'm still somewhat in awe, and part of me thinks this is somehow a dream! My daughter and I both love the sound when he shakes his head and his ears flap, LOL. We also discovered that he loves our computers and jumping onto the kitchen table And when he jumps he doesn't just jump, he flies! That cat can catch some air!
Here are some of the pictures we've gotten in the less than 24 hours since Uber arrived. Over the weekend I'm hoping to get more, better, pictures of him and maybe with the girls too. But that boy is hardly ever still! So enjoy what I was able to get so far :shame:
