Boomer meets sirrahkitties

Boomer is doing quite well. He has been drinking, eating a small amount and using his litterbox. When we go into the room, he is coming out most of the time and today started rolling over for belly rubs. Emily has been wanting to go in so we tried her first. No problems at all:) One by one each kitty was able to go in to meet Boomer and so far - only Dylan hissed and Boomer growled. A few minutes later - I went back in and Boomer was relaxed again so decided to take him for a walk around the house and that went well too. Grandpaw got a few pictures so I will get them up here...

A very curious Boomer - taking in all the new things in the living room.....

Back in the "safe" room - but does he look worried?? Uh-oh! I am not allowed on beds - what will Meowmie say? I won't tell her Boomer...

Boomer, you really take this international diplomacy thing to a whole new level! Way to be such a lover boy!

What WONDERFUL pictures!:) Looks like Boomer is adjusting to his surroundings well, getting everything all figured out!

How sweet! Boomer is a big kitty! :eek: I'm so glad that he made it safely, and I hope he enjoys his new home and siblings! :)

**hugs**

Sounds like everything is going quite well. He must be very easy going. He is just adorable. I love that picture of him sitting on the bed!

WONDERFUL !!!!! Boomer is such a gorgeous cat, I LOVE his markings!
Oh Debbie, I cannot believe that he already "made friends" with your cats! You are doing such a great job with him. Missy will love you enormously for this!

ps. I just noticed Boomer is already in your siggie! What a wonderful thought :) :) ♥

That's exactly what I thought too - Boomer is a big boy!

I love the way he looks so curious as he was shown his new home. He looks as though he is one smart kitty.

It just warms your heart!!

So glad he made the trip well and is adjusting to his new home. He looks like a real sweetie.

Boomer looks like he is enjoying himself ;)
Dont wory Boomer, the No bed rule doesnt apply in Ohio :D

Did the "no bed" rule apply in Japan? I thought Missy had posted a picture with Boomer on the bed next to Tyler? :confused:

It's ok, either way, Boomer. Rules don't apply at Grandmeow's house! (Just ask her to destroy the picture evidence). ;)

I am so happy to see him adjusting so well. I can't imagine how terrified he must have been on the plane, and confused when he got to his temporary home. I can't wait to see pictures of Missy's and Tyler's homecoming. :D

Those pictures made me so happy! I'm glad he is starting to fit in and get comfortable.

He looks fantastic! I never knew how BIG Boomer was! He looks positively huge! :D

Kisses from your auntie Kim in Pennsylvania!

:o The "no bed" rule is mostly for Boomer's cat-daddy who is very allergic to kitties!

Yes, Missy will let him in the bed with her sometimes...and Paul tolerates it somewhat too. Boomers settles in next to Tyler quite often.

Boomer has much better manners than the other sirrahkitties as far as getting on tables, counters, etc. I think that his new siblings are going to be teaching Boomer LOTS of naw-tee things:eek: :p

Oh, this is wonderful!!! :)

Boomer, I'm glad that you arrived safe in your new home after your long and exhausting trip, and that you're already making new friends! :)

And isn't it great that you're allowed to be on the bed? ;)

Kirsten

how awesome!!!!
I am so happy he is settling in well! :)

I'm so glad everything is going so smoothly. I agree with some of the others--Boomer is a big boy!:)

IF YOUR CATS,ARE LIKE THE FOUND CATS,DEBBIE,I PRAY,THAT YOU SOON HAVE PHOTOS LIKE THIS

GOOD LUCK,WITH THE BOOMER!!!

Deb, I'm so glad to see that Boomer did so well with the intros, especially considering that he was an only kitty for so long! But after that flight he took, he shouldn't have much to complain about!

Boomer!! You're the coolest cat around man!! So adaptable. Nothing can hold you back dude!! Great pics and I'm thrilled to see how well everyone is getting along!!:D

He looks great! And intros are going well we see.

Nice to know the Sirrah kitty clan has their own resident butt sniffer - William is ours! :p

And your new signature balances so well with Boomer down there in the corner.

So happy for all of you.


The Tribe

;) ;) Oh Boomer you adorable big boy looks as if you are getting to know the play area & other baby {which is also adorable}..

Debbie, I can NOT believe how he has fit right into your household and fur family! I am in AWE of that! Animals are so sensitive, that I wonder if he knows you are "family" and that he is going to be safe and happy there. Bet he remembers you from your trip so that has to make the transition easier for him. He KNOWS he is "home" with "family"!! He will fit right on in there so fast that he is going to think he has been there his whole life. I can't WAIT until Missy and Tyler get there and he sees them!!!

How far off is his schedule here from the one in Japan? He probably wants to sleep when he should be up, eat when he sould be sleeping and his whole body clock screwed up.

Are you sure he's not an orangie in disguise??? :confused: I can't get over how mellow he's being with all the new roommates!:eek: :)

I"m figuring that he is so darned happy to be off that airplane and out of that crate that anything will please him now! LOL!!!! :) God bless you, Boomer. You deserve a good life.

It is the evening of the second day with Boomer. Earlier this afternoon, Grandpaw spent some time in his room and they enjoyed looking out the window...

They are getting along very well...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...r/Im000942.jpg

Boomer really seems to enjoy this window - it is street level and has some pear trees right outside so lots of birds to watch...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...r/Im000945.jpg

Silly Boomer - still thinks the light switch is a bug I think!! That is the wall directly in front of him and he is looking up at the switch.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...r/Im000951.jpg

Isn't this a handsome view???
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...r/Im000952.jpg

Boomer is not nearly the scardycat that he was when he first went to live with Missy two years ago - we are thinking that someone must have been mean to him - but be really bloomed with Missy and family. I know Boomer will be happy to have his Meowmie and brother with him again!!

Awwwwwwwwww, such great pics, Debbie!! Boomer, you are a very special cat!!!

Took a few more pictures tonight...
Boomer has been crying at the door now and wanting out! So, I thought I would give it a try and see just how far he would venture. I opened the door and out he came - right around the corner and into the kitchen for a drink at the communal fountain. Emily was right outside the door and was watching him...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...r/Im000953.jpg

Then he sauntered across the family room and headed down the hall....Emily right behind him...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...r/Im000954.jpg

He inspected the hall and main bathroom, Emily still right behind. They did a bit of friendly butt sniffing and circling...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...r/Im000955.jpg

Then, they BOTH returned to the family room and then back into Boomer's room! I did not get pictures of that because I was holding my breath!:eek: I sat in there for about a half hour as Boomer again crawled under the bassinet. Emily kept sticking her head under there but he did not want to come out. Then, Eliot came in and also stuck his head under there and Boomer growled. I let all three kitties stay in that room while I watched. Emily fell asleep in tha hammock (so stressed!!) and Eliot gave up on trying to get Boomer to play and fell asleep on the bed! I figure that is enough for one day so took the residents out and gave the room back to Boomer. I think that room will likely remain his safe hiding place - I will try leaving the door open for longer periods of time when Boomer wants out. Things seem to be going well.

Whew!:D Now to get Missy and Tyler here!:)

He is such a beautiful cat. How sweet that Emily follows him around!

Oh Debbie, this just goes to show that it was the right thing to do. What a perfect grandma and grandpa Boomer has!!!!!:)

Oh I'm so glad to see that Boomer made it over to the US and I'm also very happy to see him starting to fit right in. Thanks for the wonderful update!! :)

Boomer, you are one diplomatic cat! You just make everyone, even the other cats, love you almost immediately! You're such a good boy for being such a good 'guest' (since you are a stranger to the other guys for now).

I know you will all make friends and be buddies; all it takes is a little time and patience.

Looks like you loved the tour your grandmeowmie took you on and I bet you and Grandpaw will be best friends!

I'm just so glad you're HOME!

Looks like things are going very well!

:D :D

Boomer is such a big handsome boy! I am glad he is adjusting so well, it will be nice when Missy and Tyler and snug in that room too!

This is a wonderful thread! The pictures are darling and I am so glad Boomer is fitting in.

I could not be happier than to finally find some computer time tonight and see these wonderful pictures! Boomer looks so at ease after everything he has been through! Amazing and Wonderful!!!:) :) :)

I'm sure this news has really made Missy feel good about how things turned out. This has to be a load off of her mind. I'm so glad that Missy will have Boomer with her and Tyler. At least she will have most of her family with her. Things just always turn out the way they are supposed to don't they?

I'm so happy for the whole Sirrah crew!:)

Those pictures made me smile. I love the expression on his face, curious and stunned about all the new things in his live. Everything seems to be going so well.
I don’t know how long Missy had Boomer. Did he have a view of trees from her window? Has he ever been around other cats before? He is such a cutie!
:)

Boomer has never seen another cat before. He's also never seen a tree up close becaue we live on the top floor of a high rise. He is experiencing all sorts of new things in Ohio:D :D

No wonder Boomer looks so stunned with his big round eyes.
He is going to love living in Ohio with grandma and grandpa.
The sunroom with the great view must be kitty heaven.
Missy, your little boy Tyler is so adorable.

Poor Boomer doesn't know what's going on! Cats he's never seen before. An outside world unknown to him before. He'll be happy to see people he knows - something "normal" in this abnormal world he's in. I'm so glad he made that long trip OK.

Debbie, I love the pictures!

Boomer seems to be fitting in so nicely, I hope it continues! :)
