    Introducing Phinehas's grandson: Malachi

    Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I've actively posted on PT, but I'm hoping to get back into it.
    For a little bit of background to anyone who doesn't remember, I've loved orientals for a long long time. It all started here with the journey of Phinehas, my Oriental Shorthair kitty: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...iental+express

    This is his official introduction to the group: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...iental+express

    I have added a new member to my little family and, as it turns out, this new member is Phinehas's grandson!

    Here is Malachi (pronounced mal-uh-kie):


    Malachi is 6 months old and is the son of Jeeves who is the son of my Kitty Phinehas.
    Malachi is an ebony ticked tabby oriental shorthair. I had actually gone to visit his breeder and see Jeeves and Ouzo, who are kitties that were retired and available. I really fell in love with Jeeves, but he was so close in purrsonality to Phinehas that there may have been a conflict since they are both alpha cats. Linda suggested I take Malachi as he would probably be a better fit for my family and Phinehas of course comes first. Malachi is a very scared kitty, so I'm hoping he will come out of his shell soon. The introduction of Phinehas to Malachi is going pretty well, but we still have some work to do.


    This is what we've been doing with Malachi in hopes of getting him used to us. Linda said we should just hold him and pet him and get him used to our voices.

    Poor little thing was really scared and just laid there at first. If you look closely, he's sticking his little tongue out:


    Phinehas (aka "grandpa") is looking at baby Malachi:


    Malachi after he's loosened up a bit. He even started making biscuits!


    Phinehas will make a good grandpa!


    That's all for now! Hope you enjoyed!

    What a GREAT addition and I the name! I've never seen an ebony ticked tabby oriental shorthair before. He's very photogenic! I want to come over and take pics!

    Don't be scared sweety, you're in a great new home!
    Don't be afraid that your life will end. Be afraid that it will never begin.

    Malachi is a gorgeous little sweetheart! I hope grandpa Phineas readily accepts his new little grandson and all is harmony!

    Thank you guys! You are all very welcome to come and visit us anytime you want and bring your cameras I really hope Malachi was the right choice and gets comfortable with us. Linda said he'll probably never be as outgoing as Phinehas, but as long as he's good with us I'll be happy.

    I was a little concerned because he didn't eat any food when we brought him home on Saturday and even by Sunday afternoon he hadn't touched anything. We sat with him and Phinehas coming in and out of the bathroom all day on Sunday, so that's when it seemed like Malachi was starting to adjust a little. That tiny kitty really went to town last night though! I went to check on him this morning and he had knocked down the wrought iron candle holder and unrolled all the toilet paper! The place was a disaster! LOL I took the candles out and cleaned up the room. He also had eaten all his wet food that I had put down and some of his dry food, so that was good progress.

    He's still really scared when we first go in to see him, and he tries to hide. We grab him and put him on our laps and pet him and he starts to loosen up again. I'm hopeful he'll come around.

    Phinehas is interested and has only hissed a few times, but no real agression. The kitten seems interested in Phinehas and that's when he seems to really loosen up on our laps is when Phinehas is in the room. Probably reminds him of his daddy!

    Thought you all might like to see a picture of Phinehas's son Jeeves. Here he is making himself at home in my lap!

    It was amazing how similar to Phinehas he was! I wanted to take him right then and there! LOL

    And....I think we have a daddy's boy in the making (my husband and Malachi):

    Malachi is very handsome and I love his name.
    Congratulations on the new addition, that's really cool that he's related to Phinehas too.
    What color are their eyes? They both look like their eyes are more green than blue in the pictures you posted.
    RIP sweet Samantha

    Wow. Good looks run in the family, don't they?

    I'm sometimes asked "Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?" I answer: "I am working at the roots." -George T. Angell, reformer (1823-1909)
