I too am very happy! And in hindsight, yes the water bowl was always dry! I knew someone was dragging it around because it was never where I left it but I never figured out who exactly was moving it around the bathroom! I filled it twice a day, more on weekends...what a good boy! Demanding fresh water after one drink!!!!
Laura, I think Kevlin and Rhonda will be happy with the new family and I know you are! Whew!!! They made it to a home and they are such loves, I remember at my house, they pushed their way out of the bathroom and made theirselves at home right away! Unfortunately, my Pixie got onto this attitude and would not let them be so comfortable! She stalked them and cornered them every chance she got! (i was pleased when Lucky gave her a cut over her eye- it kept her from stalking the bathroom door after that!) they will be SO happy!

I posted on Louie and Lucky were instint celebrities.I think everything will be fine once they calm down.Right now L&L own the house and everyone in it.Growling and hissing.My cats aren't hissing and just run from them.But it's better than last night.In time it will get better.They love to be patted and picked up but don't like sharing toys and food.I have food dishes all over the kitchen.Water bowls on every floor.But they want it all to themselves.LOL
I have to admit,I'm not use to such wildness in my home.They really are wild cats..but also very lovable in the same breath.
Louie insist on going on the kitchen counters.NONE of my cats go up there.So I'll have to get rid of that habbit VERY soon before everyone copies him.I don't allow any cats on the countertops and I never had any problems with them doing it in the past.Louie is stubborn and doesn't like to be told what to do.He growls at all the cats.They both are.My poor babies.But..It's getting better.We just have to wait and see.I think they'll calm down once they see my cats aren't a threat.They seem to love the house and looking out the windows at all the snow.

Carla, they were great when I turned them loose in my house, there was no hissing, growling or fighting. Maybe Leslies Pixie got them jumpy so give them a few days. They didn't try to get on my counters either so they may be testing their limits with you.. Just get the squirt bottle handy. They are smart and will learn.
It took Samantha about 3 to 4 months months to realize there was no need to hog the food bowls since she was so malnourished when I got her. Remember, they were thrown out of the house and not fed and it'll take them awhile to get over that fear of going hungry. (It took Samantha awhile as I said).. Give them time and they will blend in, they need getting aquainted time with your other ones... I never did think Samantha would get along with my others but now they tolerate each other and mine like the fact that SHE is the one who signals it is TIME TO EAT!!!
When Samantha would attack one of my other ones, I would scold her and shut her in a room alone for about a hour.. In 3 days she had learned and connected being shut up with fighting and there was no more fighting.. If all else fails, try that.

Thanks for the tips Laura.Is this Haemobartonella passed from cat to cat?Did the vet say anything to you about this?
-
My understanding is that it is not- I can give you (will give you!) the treating vet's name and number! I will hopefully get to meet you this weekend or the next!

Another *BUMP* for Kevlin (who'd better stick around a minute and read) ;)
-
QSL, I am PM'ing in Yahoo with Kevlin right now and he has seen this one and I sent him the other one from Carla with all the pictures....

This is graet One Big family. If I could have keep them I would have. So all can I can do is ask that you take care of all of them. Thank you for being a PT member. Now at least Rhonda and I can still see them.
