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!
