Another chapter begins....

Steve and Gigi are adorable and your photos of the two are really fantastic :) Steve has a look of contentment on his cute little face that warms my heart - such a baby :D

I'm sure, with time, Gigi will settle down and relax - she's such a pretty girl and maybe Steve's confidence will help her feel at home. It's so difficult when you don't know her previous circumstances to understand what causes her fear and insecurity. A good home and lots of love will make the difference. She's in a good place now and soon you'll see her purrsonality shine :D

Enjoy getting to know them and please keep us all in the loop.

Oh my! They are both gorgeous! Steve looks like he's going to be a BIG boy. Gigi looks so dainty and feminine. I'm sure with time she will settle in.

Welcome to PT, Steve and Gigi! It's no nice to meet you and welcome you to the PT family. You both made an excellent choice when you picked your new purrents. They're going to love you and care for you beyond your imaginations. Before long you both will have lots of kitty friends too. Your fellow PT kitties will help you along and even give you advice on training your purrents.

Groucho sends you both hello headbumpies and says to call on him anytime for any reason.

Congratulations on your new babies!! They're both beautiful!! :)

Just another quick update from my end. We've had the two cats for 2 weeks now and they're doing well. We're still doing some renovations and Steve has become a little helper to Rob. Here, Steve is helping Rob put the finishing touches on some drywall. ;)

And Gigi is starting to relax a little. It's going to take some time before she's totally confident since she's had such an unstable life before this. Here's my pretty girl. She has such a mix of coat pattern and colour:

So things are going pretty well. Steve still has some issues with soft stool, but it's better than before. I'm hoping the next 2 weeks will clear everything up. Also, he's growing so fast! I'm sure he'll be bigger than Gigi by Christmas.

So glad that things are moving right along. Gigi has quite a face there and love those paws!

Kass, thanks for another update.:) I'm glad to hear that both Steve and Gigi are doing well. You sure picked two very goregous cats to become part of your family. I'll never get tired of seeing pictures of these two.:)

They are both so beautiful! And Steve is a skilled tradescat, too! What treasures they are.

Gigi is so pretty with her unusual markings. Can't say I have ever seen a tabby with markings like that. Her picture looks like she has settled in but from what you described of her life, it very well may take a lot of time for her to realize she is there to stay.

That steve.. what can I say? He is one handsome dude cat and going to be a real heartbreaker for some of our female kitties here on PT.

It is so nice to see pics of Steven and Gigi! Steve is just so handsome, and Gigi has such an expressive face. Their personalities just shine through! I'm sure Gigi will feel at home soon enough... these poor little souls go through so much, and they don't understand what has happened or why (wish we could talk cat!).

Gentle pets, hugs and kissies to Steve and Gigi!

Oh they are beautiful! I'm so glad you took them in together. That will probably help a lot with Gigi adjusting quicker.
Can't wait to see more pictures as these two get all settled in their FURever home. :)

LOL I just love how Steve is Dad's little helper and so fortunate too since good help is hard to find :D

Gigi is so pretty and the haunting look in her eyes reminds me of Eve when she first came to us. It took a little time for that look to disappear and it will. She justs needs time to know she is home and safe, finally :)

Thanks for keeping us up to date on their progress. You and Rob must love having Steve and Gigi with you. Never a dull moment, I'll bet ;)

I just realized I have never posted in this thread. I have been meaning to tell you how proud of you I am that you welcomed not just one, but two kitties home, and I am sure, while they will never replace the lovely Nikita in your heart, that she is smiling down from heaven to see the place with kitty footprints in it again.

They are both lovely, and that photo of Gigi is just breathtaking.

Thanks so much guys for taking a look at my new furkids! Right now Steve is snuggled up between the monitor and keyboard. I forgot that the computer desk is his, not mine. :rolleyes:

He's growing like a weed. In the last two weeks he's almost the same size as Gigi. I have no idea when he'll stop growing.

The only problem we're having now is trying to cut Gigi's nails. She wants nothing to do with that. We'll have to cut them soon since her nails are getting caught on everything....the scratching post, my sweaters......Steve's fur... :eek:

If you have any tips.....I'll need them. And no, can't wrap her in a towel....she'd murder us in our sleep if we did that to her. ;)

Does she bite when you clip claws? If so, ask your vet for a cloth muzzle. I have one w/velcro on it and Puddy was just plain awful until I put the muzzle on her. She apparently hated that more than the claw clipping, so she behaved and now I don't need it.

OMG! HowEVER did I miss this exciting news? Congrats to the two lucky and beautiful kitties. I wish all four of you much joy and happiness. I think Nakita had so much to do with this.

Hugs,
Johanna

Steve is such a cute little handycat! :)
Does he paint ceilings too? If he does, I could have used his help this weekend painting. Samantha refuses to help paint, she supervises from the next room, she's afraid she may end up with a skunk stripe down her back or something. ;)

It's so nice to see some more photos of your new kitties, keep them coming! :)

Congratulations! They are both beautiful cats. :D

Oh my gosh! KaK had alerted me to this fabulous update so I had to seek this thread out to see your new additions for myself! They are both completely adorable! I'm so glad you have welcomed two new felines into your heart and home and they are lucky to have you as purrents! :D

**hugs**
