Hi everyone!!! I have asked you all for tons of advice about moving with my Tito and intoducing him to his "sister" Sophie, I thought I'd give you a little update.

I will post some pics too, and please know my camera batteries are dead but I am going to get some today and you will see more pics soon!

I am moving in with my boyfriend and his kitten Sophie on Thursday. I haven't packed a thing, but I am sure when I do Tito will have tons of fun in some boxes! He's doing great, looking older every day! He's 7.5 months now!!

Sophie is doing great too - completely littertrained. We got her a new litterbox - a "booda dome" that seems to have done the trick! She is getting so big! She's going to the vet this morning to get her second set of kitten shots. She's 2.5 months now and doing so great! For those of you who don't know, Sophie was rescued - orphaned, flea-ridden and underweight when we got her on May 8th...she's really filling out and getting cuter every day! She doesn't meow - she squeaks!! I have never heard her meow. Just high pitched squealing!

I can't wait for the two of them to meet. I know they're going to get along great. I am going to keep Tito in the spare bedroom until we get settled, and then see how long it takes him to comes out! Knowing him, not long I am sure!! Then I will hopefully be able to post some pics of my babies TOGETHER!

Thanks to everyone who has given me advice....I appreciate it so much!

Pics coming in next post....

I hope your move goes well. You are right...Tito has grown so much. He is such a handsome baby.

I love the picture of Sophie....her eyes are so big and beautiful.

Thanks! My boyfriend just got back from the vet's with Sophie - in his words, she "went ballistic" when the vet tried to give her a shot. My boyfriend said she "screamed" and freaked out and tried to bite the vet several times! They had to put a cloth over her head just to calm her down enough to give her the shot, and apparently she squealed so loud the secretary and some vet students came in to see what was going on. She did so well the first time she went, I can't believe she was a squeak freak this time! She just wasn't having it today, I guess. But, the vet did say she weighs 2.85 pounds now - she only weighed 1.12 pounds four weeks ago! Our baby is growing fast!!!! :D :D :D

Aww Tito is growing up so fast. He is such a handsome boy and little Sophie is such a sweetheart.
I'm so sorry she had such a hard time at the vets. Poor baby.
Give her lots of love and kisses to help her over her ordeal.

I'm sure with the two of them being so young, you shouldn't have too hard of a time in the introductions. Good luck though anyway and keep us posted and of course, PICTURES....LOL

Tito is getting to be such a big handsome boy!

Poor Sophie at the vet. Can't blame her, poor girl.

How exciting for you and the changes coming up. Can't wait to hear how they are getting along together. They will soon be the bestest of friends!

Cute cats :) Tito hasn't lost any of that cheekiness!

Good luck with the move. I actually think moving is a good time for cats to bond, as they are together in a stressful situation and may turn to each other for comfort and confidence.

They are going to be adorable together!! I think they will get along great. You are going to have lots and lots of fun times ahead. Two youngsters will get into everything and it will be so funny! Keep that camera handy because we will want pictures!!

Just a quick note to say Tito is enjoying his new surroundings! I have a little "sanctuary" set up for him in the guest bedroom with his food, water, toys, litterbox, etc. It's nice and clean and quiet, and he's been sniffing every surface. I figure we'll let him hang out in here for a while, then let him explore the rest of the house with Sophie shut in the master bedroom. Tito's being good, I left his carrier open sitting in the middle of the room and I found him sitting in there a few times, just hanging out - guess it smells like home! Anyway, more updates and pics later.
