Well this pretty little boy has been hanging around for a couple of weeks now. So I took him into the vets a bit ago and had him tested. He was negative...yea! So I sent for a low cost neuter from Orphans of the Storm and received it last Wednesday. I took him in Thursday evening to our vet for a check up and then she neutered him Friday morning. We haven't totally decided to keep him yet. We are still dealing with tom cat stank right now and I am concerned about how Trouble is going to deal with him.
Trouble is a very aggressive, assertive Bengal cross male. He has been living with my three girls for those of you who don't know or remember me since he was found as a 9 week old kitten. He gets in moods and picks on them daily. There is never blood and truthfully he is the only one that has ever been injured. Deirdre got really hacked at him one time when he was harrassing her and she tore his ear a little. But he gets all bully boy and puts his ears back and makes the girls scream. When we break them up he will often get mad at us and then turn and attack our legs. I often have to give him a time out in the bathroom until he calms down.
So Pretty Boy Floyd has been in a cage in the kitchen/family room for about a week now. I have not had a single hiss. Not a growl or hair raised or anything from either him or Trouble since I brought him in. Trouble will walk over and get right in his face but Floyd just looks away. He won't back away and anything but he won't look Trouble in the face either. He does the same thing with our dog Sequoia when she is getting snotty with him in the cage too. Again for those that don't know us Sequoia is a cat aggressive husky.
So what are your thoughts on our situation. Floyd is just a sweetheart. He loves attention and hasn't shown even the slightest hint of aggression. Not to us or the others. I am worried he might be too submissive for our household. I am pretty sure I could place him in another home. I don't have a good picture of him yet but he is just a beautiful tuxie.
