First night out videos

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

First one is Peanut's first impression. She was in the laundry room, ready to bolt downstairs if necessary. Check your volume because the sound you hear is her growling. It's louder than it normally would be because of the small room and the metal appliances reflecting the sound.

I'm such a bad meowmy. Here my little sweetie is in obvious distress, and all I can do is laugh! BAD meowmie!!!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

This one is Cracker Jack exploring. Notice how he continually flips the tip of his tail. And notice how in the middle of it all he had to come back over to me for assurance, then back to exploring.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

This next one is where Peanut is in her box growling and hissing away, and Cracker Jack could care less. That Canadian catnip toy is much more important!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

And finally, here's Peanut relaxing a bit. You can see how she literally releases all the tense muscles and relaxes. It's ok, sweetie, he's not going to hurt you.

And that's all for now folks. I've been badly neglecting my school and work duties these last few days, so I will keep everyone updated on any major occurrances, but otherwise I need to get to work - oh how I hate that word.

Thank you all SO much for giving Cracker Jack such a huge welcome. You guys are really the best!

LMAO Oh Peanut hun he looks terrified Keep up the good work!
Really cute videos.. The last one had me in tears he was just not caring at all...

[kimlovescats]

Wonderful videos, Debbie!!! Awww, little Peanut ... you just stay safe and "tucked away" in your box, honey ..... until you are ready to put that boy in his rightful place!

It is tooooo typical of a sweet orangie, to be so non-chalant and unconcerned about her hissing! LOL! What a sweet boy, and I know that Miss Peanut will be charmed into a loving friendship with Mr. Cracker Jack in no time at all!

Those videos are priceless, Debbie! thanks for posting them!!

Poor poor Peanut, she is doing such a great job in hissing and growling, and Mister Cracker Jack isn't even impressed. WHAT A BOY!!!

Oh his tail will put me in a trance... I'm mesmorized just watching it! Poor Peanut, I'm sure its annoying her more that he's not acknowledging her kisses and growls! I recognise those growls... Mr. Grumpkins Pouncer does that with each new foster and every time I come home form an adoption event.

LMBO Peanut is even more adorable when she hisses! I bet you in no time she'll love her little brofur.

As for Cracker Jack, what a great personality he has! He isn't even bothered by the hissing.

[Cinder & Smoke]

Cinder and Smokey will BOTH verify that Peanut is NOT making
"Happie Kampur" sounds!!

Smokey was in the process of "pullin up a rug" under the puter
when I played Video 1...
He backed out like he'd stepped on a mouse trap -
and looked at the puter like it was going to attack!
During the Third Showing, he left the room!

Cinder walked by when Video 3 started...
Must have brought back memories of her Urlee Daze at the Ranch...
She was flippin her ears up & down so fast I felt the breeze!
She only hung around for two showings!
Now they're both hiding under a distant table ~
lookin *nerbus*!

Poor PeaNutter must think Brudder CJ is hard of hearing!

Oh my! As the saying goes..."I am getting that feeling of deja vu all over again!" That is just like Eddie and Edwina....."You talking to me????" Poor Peanut....it is so embarrassing to be ignored when you are putting on such a show of indignation.....

[Catsnclay]

Yoshi just jumped on the desk as I started to play the first one, and heard all the hissing Started sniffing the moniter! Then I played the other 2 and he watched them with me. He is still "searching" for that hissing kitty!!

I just love Jack's long neck as he is taking all of this in for the first time. Does he actually know that Peanut is in the room?! He could care less about her, and I think maybe that is what she is mad at!!

Don't expect to get any work done this week, it's "New Kitty Week"

[Vio&Juni]

I think Peanut is disappointed that CJ is not paying attention to her growls and hisses . What a handsome boy!

[Randi]

Cracker Jack is SO cool, still exploring and ignoring all the hissing. Peanut is bound to be impressed! In a few weeks time, we 'll see videos of them both snuggling.

Just LOVE those videos!!

I was thinking the same thing. It's just like the story of the two E's all over again.
But I don't think Cracker Jack is a Basement Boy, maybe he's more of a Bathroom Boy or Bedroom Boy.
