My New Cat, Maximus.

[Laura's Babies]

He is adoreable and cute as can be!!! Looks a bit frightened but it is all new to him and he will get us to his new surroundings. When he does he will be so much fun!! The dogs look like they have alread accepted him so they will be friends in no time.

Freedom, I agree, we definitely need to figure something out so that the dogs can't get to it. We were thinking about putting it up in a high place where he can get to it and they can't. Think that would work??

I'm a bit concerned about the little guy's bum. It looks a little weird - I don't know how to describe it. It's a little red in one spot...maybe I'm just being silly. He'll probably go to the bathroom soon and it will look normal again. He's probably freaked out about the new environment and doesn't know what's going on.

Medusa and Laura's Babies, I'm glad you like the pictures! Medusa, that must have been awful, seeing a cat that had been attacked like that =( Our dogs are both really submissive and gentle - they get beat up by the ferrets all of the time, it's pathetic! lol

Here are some more pics of the little guy.

All right, WHERE is the cuteness warning for this thread??!!

Maximus and the dogs, oh my, I never saw anything so sweet!

Edit your title and say "new pics post 5"

Gee. I am going to have sweet dreams tonight, he he. Thanks!!

How do I edit a title (and what does new pics post 5 mean??)

This is my favorite picture of the batch so far



Molly makes the cutest faces sometimes!! She keeps going over to where Maximus is sleeping and picking her paw up and nudging him with it a few times like to say "Hey, get up and play lazy bones" and then when he doesn't, she makes this funny groaning sound and curls up next to him like "FINE. Then I have no choice but to lay down with you." They're such characters!

Lucy keeps getting so excited when she sees him that she's shaking, literally - it's soo funny. She makes a high pitched whining noise and her eyes bug out of her head...looks like she's about to have a seizure. I can practically hear her saying "Mom, is he staying?! Can he stay for good? Please? Can I KEEP HIM???" lol

OMG!!! These pics are precious! Those dogs are so sweet with that little guy!! I just want to hug them all! I like the pic with Molly nudging the kitten, like, hey you, you awake?? It's adorable, and the one with her looking at the camera and the kitty asleep. What sweeties you have!!!

Thanks Jenn! I'm really proud of how the dogs are welcoming this little guy into the house. Naturally they're curious and over excited about it, but they're both being very gentle with him and I think it's probably helping him not miss his litter mates AS much, having other animals around.

I really like the photos of your cats in your signature Are their names Love, faith, hope and joy? I wonder what Maximus will look like when he's all grown up

Those are the most adorable pics I have seen in awhile. I think it is so wonderful that your dogs have accepted Maximus so quickly and lovingly.
