Thank you for taking care of little Joey and giving him a forever home.
Oh what a wonderful story with a happy ending!!! I can't wait to see little Joey... bless you, Lizbud!:D
Joey is a very cute name...........Now where are the pictures?! :D
Sounds as if Joey and Punkin are going to be good friends:D
I'm glad to hear everything went so well!
Welcome Joey!!!
He sounds like such a doll, Liz!!! Congrats on the new addition!
Well things are pretty quite so far today, but last night was
a little rocky. Redbud & Mikey came out into the same room with
Joey & were watching him from the stairs. Red is the biggest cat
and has always been very protective of Mikey who was the runt
of their litter. Redbud was in a real snit & was hissing (first time)
and acting very upset. He even hissed & swatted at Smokey
when I was letting Smokey out to the backyard. He's never done
that before. Red even scared Punkin who acted like"what's
wrong with you?". I really believe that Red want's Joey to know
who's boss & he'd better very careful around him. Red & Mikey
who were raised by the feral Momma Kitty are the most cautious
of the cats & Blackie (a real peaceable soul) is just staying back
because they are. Punkin & Joey both had much more experience
with people & other cats before joining the family. They are much
more trusting. When Blackie first came inside to live, Red & Mikey
followed him around relentlessly. They were so fascinated to see
another cat. Now they are the best of friends & Blackie grooms
them all & they him. It will take awhile but I'm sure they will come
to see they have nothing to fear from this little sweetie.:) I do
promise to take the last three pics on my roll of fim. I'll do it this
afternoon or evening & turn in the roll tomorrow. Should have
the pics for you to see by next week.:) Thanks for the good
wishs from everyone.:)
I can't wait to see pictures :)
That's a pretty good report Liz for so early on. I am so eager for pictures and glad that your roll is just about finished! I can't wait to see this sweet little boy. :)
isn't that roll of film done YET!!???:p
Liz, I am so pleased to read the updates. I'm sure that in time, Joey will fit right in with the whole gang!! :D :D

LOL. Yes Jen, I finished off the roll last night. There were only
two pics left instead of the three I thought were on it. Turned
the film in for processing this morning. Guess what. I got more
film. This bunch of pics should should be used up pretty quickly.
Joey might not look too pretty in these pics as his eye has not
returned to normal yet & he's still much to skinny for my liking.
Oh, and Joey loves tummy rubs. :D Liz.
Glad to hear pictures will be coming soon:D
Ohhh!!! Joey sounds like an absolute doll!! :D
I'm so glad he was able to come home and that the others are adapting well to his presense.
Sounds like Punkin and Joey will be best buds. :D
I was very disappointed with these pictures.:( Out of 27
possible pics, there were only 10 pics that were halfway
decent. I decided to go ahead and show these two of Joey
although they are not what I wanted at all. These were taken
as Joey followed me around the basement as I did laundry &
swept & mopped the floor.

Here he jumped into a old box of stuff to be taken out to
the trash. His bad eye shows up pretty clearly.

Here's one of Me, Mike & Molly when we met at McDonalds in
Speedway. (They were meeting up with Sammy's foster mom)

What a wonderful happy ending to an awful beginning. Welcome Joey. You will be well taken care of now and we hope to see many more pictures of your sweet facie. Nose-kisses to you and hugs to you Liz for all you do.
Here's a pic of my kitty loving pooch Smokey.:)
p.s. Believe it or not these pics were the best of the bunch.
Hopefully the ones I've taken since will turn out better.

Aww cute pictures!
Yay!! Joey pictures.
We need more you know!!
Oh geez, I'm on the CAT side!!! hehehe That was the day that we had to give Baby up and Liz helped make it a little easier. I know that she is in a better home now since she has a job during the day and is a house dog at night. Thanks for posting the picture Liz. Cute pictures too (except maybe the one with me in it.) Oh yeah...you did something right, Mike NEVER smiles in pictures.
Aaaw Joey looks a sweetie. He can look forward to life getting better now - and we can look forward to more pics of him!:D
Well Liz a couple of pictures that are less than perfect are better than none at all! Actually I think we can all get a really good idea about just how sweet this little guy really is. It sounds like you have a little shadow there. :) His poor little eye breaks my heart but life will be better for him now that's for sure. What a cutie! I'll stayed tuned for the next roll and the next and.....and..... :)
I totally agree with you Pam:DQuote:

I'll be looking forward to the next roll of film too!
Just a small update on Joey. He's doing very well health
wise.:) His scent, by now, is all over the place b/c I've been
switching his cage between the two main rooms (family room
and larger laundry room/work area) of the downstairs. All the
other cats seem much calmer now & even pass by him with
only an occasional hiss.( for effect):rolleyes: Joey has his out
of cage exersize time when I'm home, but always in one room
or the other with a closed door between them. I can tell Joey
has no problem with other cats as he wandered off when I
was cleaning up his cage potty tray tonight. He took off for the
open screened windowsill in the family room & raced by Redbud
and Blackie and didn't even stop to greet them. They both looked
rather nonplussed by the whole thing. I'm going to make formal
introductions tomorrow. I'll be home all day, be more rested &
can take my time with them all. Wish me luck that all goes well.
Good luck! Sounds like things should go rather smoothly though.
Any chance of pictures of the big event? ;) :D
I'll be thinking of you making the introductions today. Hope all goes well.
Liz, bless you for saving little Joey, you are an angel.:)
Good luck with the introductions today, I will be thinking of you!
Chris
Good Luck with the introduction, sounds like things will probably go pretty good:)
More good wishes here! I remember Trevor's first meeting with Andy. He hissed at him and his tail got all puffed and Andy only weighed a lb. at the time! Certainly no big threat, that's for sure! LOL! My son-in-law took some movies of the two of them being introduced and it was really funny. If you have time and can juggle it all, we would love to see some pictures! :)Quote:

hey can you send me a picture of it molly was surprized that i got mike to smile.:D :D :D
Ruthies Mom, sure. I've sent it in a pm to you.
The intoductions went pretty well I think. Joey is certainly not
fearful of any of the other cats. He's a real corker. :D I did two
sets of intros, one this morning & another this afternoon after
they ate dinner. This morning Redbud & Mikey pretty much just
sat & watched Joey running around the room. One hairy time
was when Punkin jumped up on the cat tree acting playful & Joey
jumped right up there too & started to play wrestle. He played
a little rough for Punkin & surprised the heck out of him. I stepped
in with the cat wand and gave the "we play nice here" speach.
He tried to approach Red & Mikey , but they both hissed him
away. He took it graciously & backed away giving a little baby
"meow" to them. I did get some pics of the afternoon meeting
but was too nervous to mess with it this morning. The afternoon
session when well, but there's one holdout & that's Blackie.
Blackie (The Great Pacifist) wants nothing to do with Joey. He
actually growled at him. ( A trick he learned from Buddy) When
Buddy hear a wierd noise outside, he would bark & run to the door to check it out with Blackie right behind him growling his
threat to any intruders.:D All in all, I think for the first time, it
went pretty good. Oh, I've turned in a another film roll & started
a new bunch. Pics soon, I hope.:)
Liz, I'm glad to hear that things overall went well witht the intros.
Hope things go as well the next session!
Well Joey's doing fine my other kitties however have not
warmed up to him yet. Blackie is the only one that really worries
me. He hates Joey.:( He doesn't try to attack him or anything
but will not let him approach at all. Blackie won't stay in the same
room with him. I'm afraid Joey won't understand the growl &
stay away from Blackie & then he will be hurt. Joey seems to
know his limits with the others, but Blackie just shuns him
completely & won't interact at all. Another small wrinkle... Joey
had a friend (small LH grey kitty) that he hung out with & ate
with on the porch. This cat still hangs around & looks in the
windows at me & the other cats inside.:( I broke down & put
her(turned out to be female) into a carrier and took her to the
vet's office this morning for spay/neutering. Dr. found out she
had nothing to be removed. She had been already spayed but
had no scar as evidence of a prior surgery. She had adhesions
on her bladder which he fixed & is treating her for an bladder
infection. She is staying overnight at the vets. I really don't know
what I'm going to do here. I don't want to put her back outside
alone. She's a very pretty & very sweet cat & it's getting very
cold at night now. I think I'm in trouble here. :D
I'm glad to hear that things are going reasonably well with Joey and the others. My Katie girl still hasn't fully excepted Chipper, even after 20 weeks of him being here. She will hiss and growl at him one minute and the next start playing with him for a bit. But there is more hissing and growling on her part, than playing and Chipper just backs away. So all in good time I guess.
As for Joey's little friend.....Guess who's coming for supper?:D
Great job, Lizbud! I'm sure Joey will be a happy part of the family in no time at all!!! ;) Can't wait to see more pics!
:D Do you have a named picked out Liz or do you need suggestions?! lol
Can't wait for pics!
Oh Liz, your such a softie:) Have a name picked out yet;)
Liz, I do believe you are a softie!! But you are also a blessing for yet another! Keep us posted!!! And yes, we're going to patiently wait for your pictures!!!! :D
I brought the grey female home today. She's doing fine &
goes back to get stitches out in two weeks. I want to keep
her inside till then at least. I'll take in day by day & see how
everything works out. The "boys" being around her cage don't
seem to faze her at all & she loves her little cat bed.:)
Joey however is a different story. He & all the other boys were
in the family room after dinner & I was entertaining them all
with different cat toys. All went well for about 30 minutes, then
out of the blue Joey went up to Redbud (sitting on top of the
couch) & showed the most aggressive stance I've ever seen
from him. Ears flat, eyes slanted & focused on Red & looked
like he was going to pounce. He did.:eek: Just that quick. Red
let out a loud meow & took off & Joey followed him to the next
room. Red found a hiding spot somewhere & Joey was just
running around like a nut. I lured him back to me with a treat
and put him back in his cage. I can't have this behavior from
Joey.:( Redbud & Mikey were born to a feral mom but never
grew up outside. They are total innocents when it comes to
fighting,etc. I'm sure Red never expected the attack even tho
I saw all the signs of it about to happen. Lord give me patience.
Joey might be relegated to Momma Kitty's garage. If she'll have
him.
It's no problem at all. What's 1 more? ;)Quote:
