The whole Onyx situation kinda bugs me but at the same time I know my roomate will take care of him (and hopefully get him fixed, like he said he was going to) and Onyx is really attached. Spook and Remus were starting to have major teritorial issues with Onyx. He started to cause major disharmony, and it got worse once Draco and Isabeau came to us (my MIL's kitties, we are fostering them) Since Onyx has been gone, the other four have calmed down and Shiloh (the dog) has been behaving a lot better around the cats.
All in all I think based on how Onyx was developing personality-wise, being an only cat (or in a house with only one other kitty might work too) would be a lot better for him. He is a very very teritorial cat, both with space and with people. He got jealous easily and he has a tendancy to find things that irritates other cats (I don't think its intentional sometimes). Spook was really starting to get POed because Onyx decided one day to make John his personal project lol. Spook didn't like it one bit and had started to start peeing everywhere (and on my former roomates stuff in particular). At least now, the peeing has stopped.
Back to little Pandora though, she is weaned (has all her teeth, and they look darn healthy), pretty good with the litter box, and aside from hissing and spititng at Shiloh, has been pretty ok with the other critters. Spook is being a bit of a B but she's gotten better in the few hours we've been home. Pandora now is rolling on the keybord trying her DARNESS to get my attention. (and it is working, I've been typing at this for a while lol) as I said before, bash an orangie with a calico and you have what she looks like. She is the only calico of the bunch. There is a girl orangie I would have taken out of the litter too but she already has a home.
Ive never dealt with a kitten this young (I think she is 2-3 months old at this point but Im not too sure, Im finding out tomorow the exact date she was born). Onyx was at least 4 months if not older when I got him and Remus and Spook were both over 6 months. I must say Im enjoying the little girl and am happy to actually follow another kitties life from kittenhood all the way to old age. (I myself think they get cuter as they get older)
Sigh, sometimes I wonder what I got myself into. Before I joined PT I didnt even think about wanting a cat...and now Ive been living with 5 of them for a while now. Draco and Isabeau probibly are only staying until the end of April and then I'll be down to three again. 3 is a good number lol although I dont mind fostering one bit. Ive gained a lot of respect for cats having been around so many of them. Whats great too is that they're all different breeds and age ranges so I get experence from a broad persepective.
Hopefully tomorow I can con my mom into letting her camera out of the house for a FEW hours lol, and Ill get pix of everybody, even the dog (much to the cats annoyance)
