Advice Wanted: Another cat coming to us! Small Update

[Taz_Zoee]

Like everyone said - all cats are different no matter what sex they are. Taz still hasn't accepted Paizly and I've had her for over 8 months now. He can't even get near her without hissing and "barking" at her. She is just a stinker and keeps going back for more. So apparently she's not threatened by him.
Taz does have his good days where he won't make a sound. And other days he's just horrible about it. In the 8 months we've had Paizly I've actually seen Taz play with her (for about 30 seconds) a total of 4 or 5 times. But neither of them are stressed about the others presence so its okay. I don't like it when he "yells" at her, but oh well. I just keep thinking maybe one of these days she'll learn and leave him alone.

Misty is a very pretty kitty. You are going to have a house full of adorable-ness.

How wonderful of you to take her in; she is gorgeous! I'd do what Donna said and take it slowly; the slower, the better.

Yes, girls can be "fittified", but with patience they will get along. Let us know how it goes...........

Cats , of course are so unpredictable.
Some Cats will take to some Ctas and not others.
I must say that I am an most fortunate Cat Manand aside from a few hisses the old I was here first reaction, I have had no real problems with the Found Cats.
We are praying that Big Beautiful Misty is accepted as well.

What Donna said. Both times.

Misty is beautiful. She looks so much like my Maine Coon, Specs, who I thought was a girl until I took her in to get spayed. LOL

Congrats on your new family member and just give everything time.

Hey CJ,

I'm positive that will work out.

[cassiesmom]

She's beautiful! I hope it works out wonderfully!

Aw, she is BEAUTIFUL!!! Looks like my Vita did when she was younger, although Misty looks larger.

Just take it slowly, things have a way of working out.

Do you clip nails? I like to keep nails trimmed when I have introductions, so that any "damage" in minimal, he hee. Never had a problem

Will she come with her brushes? She looks like she is used to brushing. That would be lovely, to sit each evening and give her a wee brush up!

Bless you for taking her on!

She's gorgeous. I have two girls and their personalities are very different so they get along well. They will sometimes play fight but it's nothing for me to worry about. I'm sure that if you take things slowly that in time everyone will get along or at least learn to tolerate each other. Good luck and please continue to keep us updated.

Misty has arrived. She came with her litter tray, toys, some food and scratcher. We let her out in the living room first and she had a look around then went behind the Tv for about an hour. I then managed to move the TV, pick her up and we've settled her in the spare room. She has all she needs there, water, food, litter tray and a nice bed in the corner with blankets and quilts, hers and Sunny's, a mix for some different smells. Sunny and Xavi have smelt some of her toys.
At the moment she has squished herself under the Computer desk, and is hiding away. I think in the night she may come out to have something to eat, we'll see in the morning.
She's a lovely cat, hasn't spat or hissed at us at all, and let us smoothe her when she walked past. She's just very intimidated and frightened right now.
I'll keep an update going to let you know how she's doing.
