Yesterday on the way to look at second hand cars, me & my partner just popped into the local RSCPA animal shelter (Where we adopted George 6 months ago.)
And found …..

Mildred or Milly for short (Well that’s her new name)
So this morning we went to pick Milly up, we are officially a two-cat household.
We blame Pet Talk…. Ahhhh… We’ll end up with 20 cats.
Ps. She has a shaved side as she has just been spayed
We placed the carry basket with Milly, in the centre of the living room and waited for George to return (He’s an indoor/outdoor cat, common in England)

When George returned he sniffed nose to nose with Milly in the cage, no hissing just sniffing.

After 5 minutes we thought it was going so well, so we unlock the cage.
They touched noses several times and all was fine until George tried to push Milly with his paw (no claws) Milly hissed once at George and George started sulking.

Both cats have eaten near each other and will play with us (not with each other), so all in all, a good start.
Milly has spent the last hours under the sofa, in a kitchen cupboard ….

Meanwhile George has done his best acting. ‘I don’t care about that new cat’, but he watches her everywhere. When he notices that we are watching him, he does a ‘I don’t care face’, it is so funny.

Milly jumped onto George’s’ super-sized cat bed and they sat about a metre apart for 5 minutes.

I think they have both behaved very well today. I hope they will become friends. Milly is still nervous but she is now sitting next to me on the sofa watching me type up this message and George is a bit sulky (to be expected) and has fallen asleep on his sofa/cat bed.

So all seems peaceful.
We are thinking of just taking George upstairs (as he sleeps of the bottom of our bed) and leaving Milly downstairs for the time being. What do you guys think?
yeah!! Congratulations!!!:D
This is huge progress for one day. Milly is a real beauty. I love those tortie faces and her's is very special:)
Welcome Milly!
Congratulations! Milly is gorgeous! I just *love* the markings on her face! :D
Aww, Milly is so cute and George is a very handsome boy. It looks like they will get along just fine! :D
Good luck with them and thanks for sharing the wondeful pics! :)
Barbara....
I think we have picked a friendly second cat and our George is most laidback kittie ever.

Milly is pretty. I used to have a family tortie cat, so when I saw her at the shelter, I fell in love. Also she's a younger girl, which people of this forum suggested was the best match for 8 year old George.
i think i can vote as the cutest kitty cat EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :D :D
I'm glad to hear they are getting along so well on the first day:D
The pictures are wonderful!
I think we done good! :D :D :D And you did even better, by bringing this gorgeous girl into your home! I just want to smooch her all over, and then start the smooching on old George! I don't have any good advice for multiple kitty homes, but I'm sure there's many other PT'ers who could advise you. I love the "bookend kitty" picture on the giant cat bed - talk about the lap of luxury!Quote:

Congratulations, Millly is beautiful!:) It is great how well her and George are getting on after such a short time.:) I don`t have any advice about what to do tonight for you because I am sort of new to owning cats (one cat, Ebby, from Cats Protection in December) but I am sure someone on Pet Talk will be able to help. Once again, congrats!

Oh Milly you are sooo beautiful! I'm sure you and George will become friends in no time. Make sure post more pics as time goes on.
Slick... More Pics will be no problem.. We took 40 today (I love our digital camera)
Hopefully we can get them cuddling, I love those cuddling pictures on the forum.
