Thanks everyone!

Malachi has made a lot of progress in such a short amount of time. To be honest, I'm really surprised because of how scared he was, but he really seems to open up when Phinehas is around. He's certainly adjusting to Phinehas faster than he is adjusting to us, but Linda said that was to be expected with a kitty like Malachi. He will look up to Phinehas to guide him and give him confidence. I finally had Phinehas and Malachi interacting together last night when before they really just "saw" each other. The baby likes to follow Phinehas around and sometimes Phinehas has enough and grumbles a bit, but it doesn't phase the baby at all! LOL We played with them last night with the laser light, so I'll be sure to post some new pics soon.
Malachi was actually meowing his little heart out this morning when he heard us stirring. What a big difference in just a few days! I think this will be a good match.

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.
Thank you dear! Yes, their eyes are green The oriental standard calls for green eyes only; unless the cat is white - the standard allows for blue or green eyes for whities.

Yes, I believe Miquelito is also an Oriental shortair
