Micah's B-A-T-H and Introductions...

[NoahsMommy]

Micah has spent most of today out and about and got his very fist B-A-T-H. ;)

Here he is hiding his face in my hand: (cutie!!)

He's doing pretty well. Noel, Noah and Olivia are being pretty gumpy about him being here, but he just ignores them or runs away from them. Basil is kind of being a little stuck-up towards him, but it still curious. He loves being in the cat tree, right now he's napping in the top of it. With time, he'll be happily playing with Basie. :)

He is sooo cute!!! Lookslike he is becoming more comfortable in his new home and I'm sure before too long his brothers and sisters will except him as part of the gang!

Somtimes I really wish I could have a cat, but I was t my aunt's today, picked her's up and started sneezing....maybe if I got a "naked" one :)

[lailamara]

So nice to see him looking happy and out and about. Is his diahrrea settled?For a cat that was afraid of people you literally have him eating out of your hand. You do have a special relationship with him already. He probably was always kept in a cage at the breeders. I'm thrilled for both of you at the progress. Keep us updated on a daily basis. Please.:D

[rg_girlca]

Aww he looks so purrty now. In time, little one, your brothers and sisters with invite you to join them.

[kimlovescats]

Oh he is so handsome... and stunning after his bath!!! All nice, clean and snuggly .... wish I could cuddle with him too! :)

Thanks for these cute bath-pictures!! I love the sight of a wet cat, he he!
I love your cat-family so very much!

[Barbara]

Micah is a very handsome boy -rather a cat man:D
Hiding the nose in the hand -Filou does that too. Sometimes he pushes his little nosie right in:)

[BastetsMum]

Awwwwwwwwwww! He is gorgeous. Bastet does the nose thing too!

He looks like he is settling in very well :D

I am sure once he has become part of the gang he will be the life of the house!

He has exactly the same colouring as Bastet but he is *larger* than her facially wise. He has a very beautiful, masculine face.

I am so thrilled someone has a fawn aby too! :D

[ChrisH]

oh, he is so gorgeous!:) :) :) :) :)

[sasvermont]

What a cutie pie you have there. He is handsome and looks pretty darn fit.

Breeders sometimes keep their cats in containers, cages etc., but usually containers that are large cages that are usually able to be hosed down...I know one breeder that uses shower stalls to house her male cats.....She adds sleeping area and they also have an outside run attached to the stall. Since the un-altered male cats are in the habit of spraying, one needs to be able to hose down the area from time to time!

Back to Micah. I think you will enjoy his companionship and personality. Abys are unusual and fun to be around! You will soon find that out.

If you were able to bathe him, he will be easy to handle and pill, I should think!

Keep up the good work Kelly!

[jenluckenbach]

So cute. And he looks so well adjusted to the house and the kitties.:) I love the picture of him wet, he looks so pitiful. And then when he is all dry and regal again.:D Charlie says he is beautiful.

[Pam]

Oh Micah you have another fan here in New Jersey! You are just too cute! I love your little "wet kitty" picture. How I wish I had the nerve to put my Trevor in the tubbie. :D I think your Mommy and Daddy scored BIG with you little one and I know you feel the same way about your new home!

He really is!! He's on eye meds for his conjuctivitis and he really good with that. He even lets me rub his eyes after! :)

:) I think he and Basie are getting a tiny bit closer....shhh, don't tell them I saw! ;)

Poor little thing. Last night was the first night since we brought Oliver home ( :( ) that we were both able to sleep in our bed with the door open. Olivia and Basie were in heaven, but Micah wanted to sleep with us too. Olivia just wouldn't have it. Poor guy!

[popcornbird]

Awwwwwwwwww what a cutie! How did he like the bath? He looks so clean and fresh in the dry, after-bath pic. :p

[aly]

Awwww Micah... do you think you could give Shiloh a talking to and tell her baths aren't so bad? :)

Cuuuute pics. I hope you're less stressed now Kelly. I've been thinking about ya and hope you're doing well.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Oh Kelly, he's adorable and looks very happy in his new home. :) I'm sure he'll be accepted by the others very soon. They may seem uninterested in him at first but this will soon pass. I'm so glad you were able to adopt him and give him the loving forever home that he deserves. :) My Cirrus has been licking Sunny's head. It just takes time. :)

[shais_mom]

Great Pics!
I am so glad he is settling in so well!
YEEAAH!

[HayleyRosie]

Great pictures. I love the one of him all wet.

[Vio&Juni]

How I love them after bath - so fluffy and clean! Micah is very handsome and he looks more confident now :)

[batgirl1980]

[NoahsMommy]

And last....him in the warm towel after his bath. He let me hold him like that for at least ten minutes. His head is fuzzy cause daddy dried it off for him. :)
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid58/p33d6969ed0890e0e9a488dda5caddeba/fc60305c.jpg

He DID NOT like the bath...we had to close the bathroom door and the shower doors to make him stay in. He hated the sound of the faucet, so I had to get water in cups from the kitchen. He was a little trooper though, he only mauled daddy a few times on his hands and legs. ;)

[aly]

Awwwwwwww great pics Kelly :) What a handsome boy!

[RogueFerret]

Micah is getting to be a real people cat!:D I'm so happy to see him doing so well! What a sweetheart.:)

[Miss Meow]

He's gorgeous, so glad he's settling in well (and tolerating those awful water activities that the hoomans did to him! :D )

[batgirl1980]

I love this face! look at that tongue! :D :D Soooo Handsome. what a man!

[ChrisH]

He is such a gorgeous feller:) I just love seeing pictures of him, thanks Kelly!:)

[Barbara]

Micah is a people cat that's for sure. Incredible that he let you hold you that long after the evil water came over him:)
He has such a sweet tongue.

Micah is adorable - even when he's wet. ;) :)

When I gave Peanut her bath, I knew the sound of the faucet would scare her too, so what I did was put about an inch or two of water in the bathtub before I even brought her in the bathroom. Then I just used a cup to scoop the water up and poor over her. Then after she was all soaped up, I used the same water to get most of the soap out, but had to turn the faucet on to get fresh water to get all the soap out, so I just turned it on a little. It took longer to fill the cup up like this, but it didn't make any sound so she didn't get freaked out.

Hope this helps next time it's bath time for the sweetie. :)

[ramanth]

Micah! You handsome boy! :D

I just love bath pics. :)
