Introducing ALI -- UPDATE POST #16 *PICS*

[Karen]

HE a handsome guy, a near-perfect tuxedo, too! Love the white streak on his nose. What a sweetie, I am sure he will relax soon, and be comfortable enough to complain about the d*i*e*t you're gonna put him on!

Thank you Karen. He is quite the looker, his pictures do no justice for his handsome appearance. He will be put on a diet, and I am sure he will be VERY angry with me, but it is best for him....he is just a baby and is so big already...it is not healthy for him.

Ali is coming around nicely. He came out to get a quick pet today for the first time since he has been here. He rubbed his cute face on my hand and was purring very softly. Then Midnite came in the room for some attention...he is a very jealous cat! Ali bolted under my bed and he has been there since. Poor baby. He is eating, drinking, and using the box though. I was spying on him yesterday as he ate, rather quickly, lapped up some water, and extremely quickly used the litter box....I don't think I have ever seen a kit use the box so quickly! It was actually kind of funny. More updates soon.

Awe... poor guy. I hope he settles in soon. He's probably just so confused. Just be careful with the weight loss, and make sure it's gradual because Calloway ended up losing too much too soon (must be a thing to have chubby tuxies), and the vet was not happy because it is dangerous for his diabetes.
It's hard to get things just right... sigh.

Thanks Jenn. We have not started the diet yet. I want to wait until he adjusts to living her first. We are going to put him on Innova weight control once he is ready to begin his dreadful diet. I still have him on the meow mix the owner gave me. I am taking him in next week to my vet to get him an all around check up...praying he does not have diabetes, as I heard that large cats are prone to it. With him being so young, I am a bit worried.

We use the storage containers, but I cut an opening in one end. They only have two step over a 5 inch door. Some of our kids are flingers and will shovel a ton of litter each time. I have foound that you can put the lid on and it keeps some of the smell down. For our larger guys ( Bart, Mits, Peak) it usually keeps the aim in the box. A regular litter pan is way to small for a 20+ lb cat. These guys will shoot 6 inches over a regular pan.

Ali is doing really good. He is coming out more now and him and Munchkin play together every night. Midnite does not like Ali very much, maybe because he is another male on his turf. They have had a few spats, but nothing to bad. Ali loves to be pet, especially his ears and above his tail. He is a very sweet baby!! I am going to put him online this weekend.

Here are some pictures:

This one is creepy. I had only the t.v. on when I took this...crazy!


Here Ali is in his favorite spot. Between our couch and chair.


Now that it's quiet....he is ALL sprawled out!


More updates soon!

Why, he's settling right in! Good for you, Ali!
