It has only been 2 1/2 weeks since he has been in the house and I haven't been home much but I can tell Meka is so much better when we are gone now that he is there. It is a comfort to her just that she doesn't want to share us. I felt better since they have been touching noses but that swipe the other day that hurt Meka - didnt really hurt her but you could see the tiny scrape right between her eyes and I would hate for her to get hurt. I immediately cut one paw's toe nails on Max and need to do the other today. He did NOT like that but maybe that will deter him from hurting her. His toe nails were long. They trapped him so he was wild for a while. But Meka was trapped too before I got her. I can't believe these kill shelters - it breaks my heart. There was one male cat that was all white with one blue eye and one brown that was very sweet and one that wouldn't stop talking until you petted him - he was black and white. They would all make great companions to someone but they were all killed in a week's time. They had a toy poodle all white named Precious that reminded me of my childhod pet. An older lady came in when I picked up Max and she was getting Precious and I was so glad to see the poodle get a home and not be killed. The shelters are so sad!!!! I actually paid more going there because of vet bills but so glad he was saved. Debbie
