Introducing Kallie Update #20

[mrspunkysmom]

Here she is, in the back bedroom where I kept Bertie/Bella. She seems to be sleeping right now but she is really making biscuits. She probably will sleep a lot now. If I recall, Jane slept for two days after I rescued her.

She really liked my friend Tiffany. She's not as stressed as she could be and she's purring, too.

I decided to bring her inside because she crosses the road from the woods to see me whenever I go outside or get home.

Isn't she beautiful and is very adoptable?

[Roxyluvsme13]

She is beautiful Calicos are my favorite. I hope that she's easy to find a home for, I agree with you though, she seems very adoptable

[sallyandsnowx]

She is gorgeous! I'm sure she will find a home in no time!

By the way, I've always loved the name Callie for calicos. Suits them well.

Hello, Callie, pretty as a Calla Lilly! Enjoy you nice soft bed for a good long sleep, you've landed in a good spot, and only good things will happen now!

[Catty1]

What a beautiful girl! Callie, you enjoy a good long nap on your full tummy. You'll have a wonderful furrever home in no time.

Is Sam behaving ok? And the other kitties?

She is very beautiful! Welcome, Callie!

I'll answer here, too. Spunky is curled on the couch. Emily is in her tree by the food table. Sam is in his bed behind my laptop. (He likes this spot. He gets plenty of scritches here.) Bob and probably Jane are in my bedroom on the bed. Or looking at Callie.

Well, I'll amend that. Jane is at my feet. She likes feet.

My kitties have the normal sibling rivalry and fussing. Other than that, they get along. If Callie doesn't fuss, they won't. For the most part. If she stays, she might get punked out once or twice by Sam and if she conforms, he'll leave her alone. I hope she gets a good home through the store. She wants to be held a lot so far. I'll never get anything done with all of these Velcro kitties.

Spunky is a non-conformist and Emily is too old to care what Sam thinks, so she does get picked on. And lots of rescue luvies.

It's helpful when your friends like cats, too. That's not always been the case.

Still good. Kallie's sitting in the window. The "others" have visited the litter box in her room, so I need to clean it again.

She's enjoying eating royally, and hasn't acted like she wants out. When she was outside she kept looking around as if expecting to come get her. She acted guarded during most of her feeding times. I haven't seen that in my place. She's still eating in the back room.

Yesterday I stopped by the store on the way home with her to introduce her my friends at the pet store. I held her in my arms and she was just fine.

Last night I brought her out to the living room and held her a bit. I put her on the couch and she explored. No issues. I went back to the bedroom and called her and she came back to the room. She is clearly comfortable in that room.

No hissing or other issues and all seems quiet on the Southern front. This is what I like.

I wanted a 6th cat months ago and was set to adopt one that was amiable when he was adopted by someone else and I ended up fostering Bertie. However I do like the 3 guys and 3 girls thing. For a gal, Kallie is laid back.

So I have 3 irascible kitties, one male and 1 female, and 4 laid-back kitties, 2 males and two females. It's a good mix.

For those of you that have more experience introducing kitties, I'd like your input. Sam was a kitten, no problem. Jane was young and after sleeping for two days, no problem. Emily, bob, and Kallie, have all reacted differently. I know they have purrsonalities like we do; I'm just interested in your stories.

Stay tuned for updates and pictures.

When we introduced Domino to the household, Tallulah wasn't happy, but eventually he grew on her. Tallulah's kind of a jerk anyway, so she still only tolerates him, but there aren't too many tiffs. Bella, on the other hand, . Dommie is having a royal fit over her being in the house, but I mean, if you supervise and let them meet through a gate then gradually let them be around each other, they usually chill out unless they're weird . That's always been my experience.

So miss Kallie was already spayed? That's good! I'm glad she's staying because I certainly want more pictures of her pretty little calico face

Well, I have issues with spaying and then letting them roam. She doesn't act feral, but today she indicated she wanted outside. She may have originally been inside during the night and outside during the day but now they don't let her in at all. Or she was dropped off. The last few weeks she we at my porch within a few minutes of my arriving home. She was hanging out in the woods. One time she went through the horse pasture, but I didn't see her final destination.

I quit feeding regularly for a few weeks and she lost weight, so I started feeding her again. They drive very fast along this road although the speed limit is 25 so she could have become roadkill at any time.

I think I am justifying "poofing" her when I know she was homeless.

And yes, she is beautiful and sweet.

[Catty1]

By the way....did you say she was yours?

[mrspunkysmom]

I can't hear my phone ring in my pockets, but I can hear her mew at the other end of the house and with the TV going. I tell you this was the right time.

[mrspunkysmom]

I totally missed Callie's 3rd Gotcha Day putting her at 4.5 years old. And she is out of the back area, hanging out in the living area, and having a little fun.

Wish her a belated Gotcha Day!

[mrspunkysmom]

She seems to be doing okay today. Hasn't eaten much. She pooped once last night right after I poofed her and not in the box. Fortunately it was solid. However, I don't smell anything in the room.

She does love attention and will be a Velcro kitty.

I might try giving her some real meat and some broth tonight to entice her to drink some fluids. She doesn't need to be sick along with unsure of her surroundings.

The spay and shots are next Tuesday. I don't want to wait, but the clinic has been busy because of the spay/neuter specials they have been having.
