Hi ReddHead!
Welll seems my newest fur son had had enough of being confined. While I was cleaning his room the little demon escaped and promptly went downstairs to explore. For a disabled child he moves pretty fast!

Sooo I watched him and the others.. some hissing and a little growling on everybody's part.. some hiding.. but no clawing. I ran out to do errands.. came back and all children were accounted for.

Morgan watches Clayton and Tucker wrestling. he looks wistful but then goes back to sleep. He is VERY talkative! Tells me all about his adventures. I think Clayton and Tucker are mad at Momma.

Morgan met Shadow....he hissed.. she threw up.

So.. what do you think?

They LOVE each other! Seriously, it does sound like they're progressing very quickly to accepting each other. Don't worry, peace will reign soon.

Hi ReddHead,
We just got back from PA... I wasn't sure if I would com ehome to find fur everywhere but the three boys were all in the basement watching the squirrels eat.
PHEW! NO FUR FLYING!

They were ALL "starving".. all talking at once. They had dried food out but wanted their wet food "snack". I got it all out in express fashion.. checked on my princess upstairs.. who was waiting for her heater to be turned on.

OK.. came back down.. Tucker follows Morgan everywhere.. sniffing his Butt....CLayton is still hissing.....CLayton was a hard sell with Tucker... now they are joined at the hip. So I am jopimg that they will all eventually get along.

I cannoth thank all of enough again.. being here with your love and support again.

Hi ALL!

Update on Morgan (Lancelot) and Clayton and Tucker.
Compared to when I brought Tucker home.. Clayton is being very calm and cool He and Tucker still hiss some at Morgan but it is nothing like it was with Clayton and Tucker.

Tucker sniffed Morgan's butt today... then Morgan tried to sniff Tuckers and he hissed. I said hey handsome... you sniffed him!

Clayton is physically getting a little closer....still hissing some but things are going ok!

QUESTION:
As I have said Morgan is a bi-eyed boy... hit by a car on the left side. HAs a permanent bad limp.. but the boy can get around.. especially when he hears cans open!
Ok...his right eye is dark.. left eye is golden/yellow.
I have been watching him for MONTHS when he was at the shelter.. and it was hard to tell.. but since he has been here... his right eye NEVER changes. it is ALWAYS fully dilated. I am going to sign the official paperwork tomorrow.. and then he goes to my favorite vet.... and willbe checked head to toe. I'll also have the X-Rays.. but I even had my husband look at it... he agrees that it never changes shape.

Not that it matters.. he is home forever and always. I was wondering if anyone could give me some input. OH the eye is NOT cloudy or white. Just pupil is always fully dilated... or at least it look sthat way.

Blessings,
Deb

It may be a point of kitty etiquette. When my sister Marg adopted a kitten (Seamus, orange tabby), one of the first things he learned from his 15-year old "auntie," Misty (tuxie), is that it's OK for an older cat to sniff the younger cat's butt... but NOT the other way around!

ahhhhh kitty etiquette....
I forgot all about that.. what page in Emily Posts's book is that written??

Well tonight all 3 boys were in the kitchen helping me cook dinner.
Morgan walks over to Clayton.... Clayton hauls off and hisses then Swats Morgan.. Tucker my little butt sniffing peace keeper goes over to Clayton and Clayton still in his Snit.. Hisses and swats Tucker! Tucker looked at him like what are you doing???

These boys are making me nuts.

Love,

Evening All!

Here's an update on Morgan and my crew.

Things are getting better.. Tucker is sniffing Morgan's butt.. CLayton is even sniffing his butt and Morgan is trying to sniff Clayton's.

Morgan is RUNNING! This is a milestone considering he has a terrible limp. Jim gets his red lazer light and Morgan RUNS! What is weird is that we do NOT think Morgan is used to playing. He gets excited when we play with him.. and he starts shaking his head vigorously... then he'll run and hide. it's like he is so excited and happy that he's not sure what to do about it or how to act.
He'll chase a toy... play with it for a second then run and hide. I clap my hands and praise him.

Bless his heart. My friends.. I really don't think this fur child of mine knows how to play.

Blessings,
Deb

just keep up the good work deb, and morgan will learn to play!!!! ...

[MommaCat]

Thanks Proud Daddy!

I told my husband that we are so blest that our fur children chose us to be their parents.

We were playing with Morgan last night.. he again got so excited then ran and hid.

Bless his heart.

Blessings,
Deb
