Introducing Phinehas's grandson: Malachi

[wolflady]

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.

Malachi is very handsome and I love his name.
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.

Is this the same "breed" as Catmandu's Miquelito?? The shape of their face is identical

Yes, I believe Miquelito is also an Oriental shortair

Welcome to PT, Malachi! What a handsome little kitty boy you are, it will be a real treat to see more pictures of you and watch you grow.

Wishing you many years of love and companionship with your new furever family! As your fellow kitty Groucho says, PT kitties only get the very best of everything. Please ask your Meowmie to give you lots of welcome lovies from me?

Karen, this is wonderful news!!! I knew things would work out between these two and I'm sure that in time Malachi will love you as much as Phinehas does. I look forward to seeing many more pictures of their progress. Before you know it they'll be snuggling in a cat bed together.

...Before you know it they'll be snuggling in a cat bed together.

Guess what?? They were doing this all last night! It was annoyingly cute! The baby is really smitten with Phinehas. As soon as I open the bathroom door, the baby hides...but if Phinehas is there, he comes right out and starts purring and chirping. OMG! Cuteness overload for sure! I'm so pleased.
I called Linda and gave her the update. She was glad because she figured the baby would be a good fit for Phinehas. I also found out that Jeeves and Ouzo have found a home...in New Jersey! She's going to take them there herself in April, but she's glad they are being placed together. At least I'm not tempted to get Jeeves then! HA!

Good to see such wonderful progress being made. I have to say that they are both lookers....such beautiful and handsome babies.

Congratulations on the new arrival! Malachy has such beautiful markings. Do he and Grandpa Phineas do the "yin-yang" thing in their cat bed?

Even though we've had a little bit of a setback with Phinehas's health (posted in Cat Health), I thought I would share some pictures from the other day when Phinehas and Malachi were playing and cuddling

Caught red-handed cuddling - Phinehas looking quite content:
