    Congratulations on you and Schroeder finding each other!

    Now, I've never tried this, but it's been suggested on the board before.

    To get Schroeder used to Aroara's smell, take a towel and wipe it all over Aroara and put it under Schoeder's food/water dishes.

    Take another towel and wipe Schoeder down with it and put it under Aroara's dishes.

    They'll get used to each other's smell and learn to associate it with good things -- food!

    If you try it, let us know how it works.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    My Mac is an Orangie a supervisor at a previous job poofed and gave to me because she thought I needed a cat. That was several years ago, and I have been a crazy cat lady ever since. I still have Mac, he's my cat and the greatest thing on four legs! And yes, he has green eyes. Green-eyed orangies are wonderful! Enjoy handsome Schroeder and give him kissies from me!
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

    Oh I have not read that idea before. I have heard about the letting them smell things that the others have touched but not about putting it under their food dishes! I'm going to try that. I will report back.

    Time helps the sadness subside, but the memories remain forever.

    Schroeder was one anxious kitty last night. He had the big dilated eyes that they get when they are nervous.


    He wanted out of the bedroom to explore what was on the other side of the door. So when Aroara when outside this morning, he was able to check things out.

    He found the cat perch.


    And a bookcase.


    Then he found a place to hide right out in the open! It is so funny because Morgan always matched everything here. The carpet was gray. We just had some tan carpet put in a month or so ago along with this in front of the door.


    A close up.

    Another close up.


    And upside down.


    This is the end of the couch he sits on. Next to him you can probably see the furpile. That is Aroara's spot. Morgan was always on the other end.


    I know this one is a bit blurry, but I liked it.

    Catmoflage--you're doin' it right.

    I think Schroeder approves of his new domain. What an expressive face he has!

    What a gorgeous guy! And already settling in, right at home.

    How funny that he so well matches the entryway floor! The better to trip up burglars, He's a handsome guy, and it's great that he is settling in so quickly and so well!

    Hi Schroeder and welcome to Pet Talk! You sure chose the very best Meowmie a handsome kitty like you could possibly have. You'll soon find out that you're in a great furever home filled with nothing but love and all the things a special guy like you could possibly want.

    Concatulations Moesha! He is beautiful and looks like a real sweetheart. Could I ask you to give him a generous round of "welcome" lovies from me?
