Ti is finally out and about!

This is my fourth try at posting pictures. If this doesn't work, I am going to give up!

Hey Mom, I think the Easter bunny knocked over the scratching post and left eggs too!

I swear I didn't do it, the Easter bunny did it!

Just hanging out in the kitchen, waiting for more food!

More space, more fun, more food!

These were taken last night - he was excited about eating raw beef. He has a huge appetite - just the opposite of Miley. Maybe he will eat what Miley will not! It will be like having a dogie!

Ti was out all last night, as I had tucked Miley into the computer room for the night. He was just everywhere in the place. Lots of crashing and running going on. He was having fun. He is alseep right now..... after all, it's Sunday - a day of rest!



;)

So glad you were finally successful. It looks at least right now like one of your pictures can't be viewed but the others are great. He IS a big guy and so striking!. Of course we will be able to see just how big he is when you have a shot of Miley nearby. :)

I can see all her pictures ... maybe your connection just timed out?

He is gorgeous!! What a beautiful coat!!! I'm glad he is coming around now:)

Hi Ti....nice to really see you!:D Guess Mom is going to have to get you a sturdier post (you are after all a BIG boy);) We are very impreesed by your gorgeous coat coloring. Have fun exploring.

He's a beauty! Glad you got the pictures working, Jen's right, perhaps lead weights on the scratching post base are in order - bricks might not be heavy enough! :)

What a TOTALLY awesome cat!!

Jen and Karen, how dare you suggest that I am too heavy for the scratching post. I am a big boy, yes, but I am tellin' ya' the darn Easter bunny came right into the kitchen, knocked over the post, left some plastic eggs and split. Honestly.

Thanks for all the compliments on my appearance. I have not yet settled in and of course, I must work out my relationship with the resident cat Miley! She is quite difficult. I may have to let her "have it" one of these days and put her in her place. Oh that's right, it IS her place, that's what all the hissing is about. How silly of me.

Mom is going to stay home ALL day today and try to get us to work out the finer details today. I think I will sleep today and deal with this mess some other time.

Love to all,
Ti

P. S. I am not sure the photo of me in the signature is really me. I think my Mom put some other kitty's photo there.... maybe my first Mom sent the wrong photo!

He is gorgeous - such a wonderful coat!! :eek: Go and explore some more Ti, but don't knock to many things over! ;)

I'm looking forward to see pics of him and Miley together! :)

Thanks for posting these.

SAD,

What a gorgeous boy he is! And very lucky to have you in his life.

It looks that you have a young leopard here! Good that he is a mellow guy. I am very curious to hear more. Nosekissies for tiny Miley:)

Ti, you are just splendid. You look like you just walked out of the jungle. Be nice to Miley, she is a little girl. Sallyanne, I'm not sure how much rest everybody will really get today. :) :) :) to all.

What pretty markings Ti has.
I glad he's out and about.

Wow! what a hunk of a cat. I find it hard to believe that Miley has kept him on the run (or hide). Sounds like a gentle giant though. We saw Bengals at a cat show and they were all so laid back compared to the other cats that we thought they may have been drugged .:eek: My husband wondered what havoc they would wreck, since there were some in the 20 + pound range. Hopefully they don't have the aby high energy level and love of heights (farewell knick-knacks and antique clocks)....less damage that way. Can't wait for more stories and of course pictures. (with Miley???)

Ti is such a handesome cat. I love his stripes too. Glad to hear he is out and having fun! :)

Ti is simply Gorgeous! I love those stripes! Glad to hear he's making himself at home.

:) :D Ti you are one great looking cat! Im glad that your fur mommy could post you! And if that Darn Eater Bunny gives you a hard time , just tell him that your Mommy knows how to make Hossenfeffer!:D :rolleyes: :p

Wow, he is stunning!!:) Great pictures, thanks for sharing, glad he finally got out and about so you could take them!:)
Hoping Miley and he will get friendly today, or soon anyway!

Chris

Hossenfeffer. Amazing what we learn from Bugs Bunny Cartoons, isn't it?:D

What a handsome fellow you are, Ti! Just love those spots! Hey, I believe you 100% about the Easter Bunny ..... ;)

What a beauty Ti is!!!!! At our house (well, not mine, but Lillycat's), we call her cats 'Strips'...not stripes, but Strips. I had a neice that mistakenly called them the stripped cats (as opposed to my dominoes) and it stuck!

So, I say, "CHECK OUT THE BIG STRIP"!! Love to Miley girl, too.

WOW!

He is gorgeous!

Miley will come around I am sure of it!

How can any female resist Ti!!!!

Hi Ti - Diz iz Ketchum - got on da puta coz Meowmie went in da kichen!
Youz iz one handsome dude - we'z all beleeves it woz da Eester bUnny dat trashed da howsse - dats wot Eester bUnnys do!! Anywayz Ti wez all hopes youz settlez in and geds freendly wif Mz Miley - she'z one gorgush ladycat. Member youz P'z and Q'z and evryfink will be kule.
Gotta scram - kan here Meowmie comin bak!

Welcome Big Boy frum Ketchum, Dan and Ms Bagel xxxx

Oh he's so gorgeous!!! :D

I think Miley would like to have Ti disappear for sure! She is walking around waving her magic wand - and meowing something about "be gone with you"....

They have been confronting each other all afternoon. I have been through this before and know that one day, and hopefully soon, they will settle this border dispute and put down their arms - although they may never be buddies like Gabe and Grammy ... but they should at least be able to be in the same room.

Ti is beginning to get tired of being persued by Miley. As soon as she spies him she runs to confront him. Sometimes I can stop her from jumping him, but most times she tears out of the room as though there is a ax murderer approaching. When I tire of this behavior, I have been closing off the house, leaving 1/2 to each. Right now both cats are sleeping. I must confess to having just awakened from a Sunday nap....Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, so rested.

Maybe I will have a picture of the two of them together, some day.

:p

How wonderful!!! I'm sure that once Ti is settled into his routine, Miley will be a welcome distraction. :)

He is gorgeous!!! :D

Ti
It was so good to see all of you! You must stay out now and not hide any more. You are one handsome fellow for sure.

Tell your mawmee not to worry too much. When I got Chester I thought he and Leonardo would kill each other. Now, even though they are not the best of friends, they can sit beside each other. You and Miley will get things sorted out soon.:D

I must confess I dozed off a bit on the sofa a little while ago myself. :) At least there is no bloodshed and both cats still have all of their fur. I guess we must be thankful for small things. Tomorrow is another day and I hope there is some improvement. Your post is very funny and, as usual, made me laugh. Your sense of humor will get you through this!

PS I am finally able to view the raw meat picture. I know that would bring Trevor out of hiding in a flash! :)

Oh Ti. your beautiful.

But it can't be true. You don't look like you weigh 17 lbs at all!
:eek:

That means your bigger than my Mr. Jones.

Maybe your just packed tighter.:p

We love you, Ti.

Sas, it is so nice to see some photos of Ti! He is a very handsome boy with striking markings and his fur is so shiny!
Are you sure that the name Ti isn't short for Tiger?;)

Here are a couple of pics I found so we can all imagine what Ti and Miley look like together.:D

Congratulations on your new home, Ti. You are looking very good! (Has the naw-tee bunny been back?)

Dearest Ti, so glad you were able to get to the computer without being confronted by that onery sister of yours. Yes, Ti, now that you have a new mom, whom you already love and are calling *Mom*, it also means you have a sister. Tucker said to give you some advice and not to sweat the small stuff. But if Miley pushes you too far, you have to say enough is enough and let her know that your good nature has a breaking point. Soon she will learn to accept and appreciate you. In the meantime, you should know she has been through a rather tough patch in her life. She has known loss beyond belief and maybe that is what is scaring her off of forming any more bonds. Or maybe she is just angry at the world. But it seems to be the concensus here that this too will pass and you all can live together as one happy family. As for your Mom, she is a treasure! Take it from us, we know her well. Be a good boy, now and thanks for letting us see some more pictures of you.

Sallyanne, thanks for the great pics of your new gorgeous boy Ti. :) He's even more beautiful than I imagined. :) He sure doesn't look like he weighs 17lbs. It must be all muscle. :)

Gorgeous BOY!!!
Glad he is doing so well!!!

Ohhh, Ti is gorgeous, he's abolutely beautiful. He looks relaxed in the kitchen with the toys and the food.
I hope Miley girl will not hiss at him for too long.

Well, it looks like the battle has moved outside! I have a 40' x 8' screened in porch on the front of my house. I have always allowed the cats to go outside there, when they wanted. Ti finally found the flap and is spending lots of time and energy out there. Last night, he very nicely took apart a stick wreath I had hanging on the wall on the porch.... but he must have had a good time as the sticks were everywhere!

Miley spent the night in the computer room.... I had a good night's sleep. Today they will continue their efforts to work out their relationship! It is so difficult to hear such unrest in my house, but I know from past cat relationships, that until they are harming each other, you must let them work it out. So far there is no fur in the air and there are no battle scars.

I am looking forward to going to work for some peace and quiet.

Robyn, you lucky duck you, I should have you pick out cats for me - hehehehehehe! You have the perfect match!

SAS, Miley and Ti Ti the shy guy

Well, its good that Ti is expanding his "comfort zone" and exploring the house...at least he isnt sticking to 1 room and hiding, so that really is progress. I think that eventually they will have to learn to co-exist with each other and eventually will like it! Aside from my mom's 2 cats (when i used to live at her house), i never had experience with bringing to cats together...i wasn't brave enough with Gabe, hehehe :) So yeah, i think i just lucked out...don't let that discourage you, my situation was just very unique, i think. I think yours is more typical?

Sure, i'll pick out cats for ya...i love going to the Animal Shleters and looking at all of the cats...we are at our limit, for us, though...the next pet we get will be a dog...so i can live thru you, and pick out some more for you!! heheheheh :) Seriously, you have a way with animals and that was very evident to me when you had the desire to take Gabe and make him "work" in your home. I can look back to his first introductions to Miley and they didn't get along right off of the bat, but looking at their most recent times together...they existed...maybe not as well as Graemer and Gabe, but they were content, right? So i am sure you will soon be able to look back on these times with Ti and Miley, and see the baby steps forming towards a life long friendship, it'll happen...it may just take a lot of baby steps!!


Btw, did you know that a Mi-Ti (actually spelled Mai-Tai) is a drink in hawaii: here's the recipe, just for your curiosity :)

Mai Tai (i prefer the Mi-Ti spelling ;))

Recipe

1 1/2 oz. Dark Rum
1/2 oz. each: Orange Curacao & creme de noyaux, lime juice
Dash of Grenadine if desired
Shake with ice & serve in a Hurricane or decorative glass
Or add extra juice & blend with crushed ice for a frozen variation,
Garnish with a flag (an orange slice and cherry skewered)

Here is my version of the recipe ;)

Mi-Ti

1 Miley Girl Cat
1 Tiberius Boy Cat
Mix together slowly at room temperature, if you shake too vigorously, they may tend to explode on one another :) Add some love from mommy SAS and Garnish with some time and patience. End product, one big HAPPY family!

Sorry, its is early in the morning and my creative senses are taking an early start...even though, i am still a little sleepy!!

Enjoy your day at work and i look forward to updates and pics!

Robyn

I LOVE Ti's special markings so very much!

SallyAnne, Ti is absolutley goregeous!!!! I love his markings. I hope he and Miley become the best of friends. :)

Ti absolutely glistens! How can you keep your hands off of him?

I wouldn't worry too much - he already has the Easter Bunny under control - so it won't be long before Miley understands a few things too.

Thanks for the pictures - he is a very lucky boy!
