May and her sister April were semi-feral kittens when they came from Red Lake to a foster home in the Twin Cities last fall. May was adopted first and we have an update from her new home with her new fur buddy Merlin.
May is adjusting well. Merlin was very annoyed at first and he sulked in his kitty bed for about a week, but there was never any tension between them. Merlin nor May ever tried to attack each other and there was no hissing either. May used to stay hidden down in the basement on a desk, but now she stays up and plays with us in the living room.
MERLIN & MAYMerlin has gradually warmed up to her and now he doesn't care if she's around. They've even started playing together sometimes. They both like to run up and down the stairs, and May really likes chasing after the laser pointer. May's become very friendly and she likes to sit on our laps on the couch, although she does occasionally slip off. She is a bit greedy when it comes to food and I now have to stand over Merlin while he's eating to make sure she doesn't zip in and eat his food. I've included a picture of her and Merlin sitting in the scratching post chair
together!
Thank you for this update! I know about the fur buddies. I have one who used to be low man on the totem pole - a kitten coming into a house with two young, grown up cats. Now he's larger than the two household owners and is starting to think he might be top cat. The other two still don't think so. Sometimes he doesn't think so, either. Sometimes he does. Makes for some silly times! I do know how quirky & fun cats can be. Thx again for the update! :)
ReplyDeleteWe are thankful we have foster homes to send the little scardey cats! They need lots of tlc when they come in in this condition. Thank you so much!!
