Another kitty may be hanging with the rest of the Ploss crew...11/27 UPDATE!!

[moosmom]

I got some not so good news yesterday. No, Jake is fine and is still coming to live with me.

My cousin's mother-in-law's cat is being returned after living with a man and his son for 2 years!!! Why??? The kid's allergic.

I am furious right now!! The guy, from what I've been told, is very controlling and didn't like the fact that Skyler was overweight. I guess she wasn't losing weight fast enough. UGH!!!

My friend Nancy is going to take her, since she doesn't get along with other cats. I've talked to my best friend Susie, who took my Dad's cat many years ago. I told her that Skylar is declawed and just needs a nice quiet home with love and food. She's thinking about it. At least she didn't say no. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. The @-hole is dropping her off at Nancy's on Saturday. I hope Susie says yes.

Unfortunately, there is no way I can take her because of her hate for other cats.

Really looking forward to bringing Jake home!!

Oh great, Donna. What a pitiful excuse for a good cat to lose a home. After living with Skylar for two years, NOW he finds out that his son is allergic?! After hearing this, i'm, too!

Just wanted to see how things are going with Jake. Hope all is well!

[moosmom]

He's settled down alot! His favorite place is on an old feather pillow coverered with his favorite throw rug in front of the radiator. Until tonight, that is. I've had the baby gates up in the doorway to my bedroom while I'm home to supervise. No hissing or growling at all. Just curiosity on all parts.

He loves Wilderness Blue. To gradually get him used to it, I put his crappy food on top with the rest Blue. He took all the crappy food off the top and ate the Blue, which is a good thing.

I think he's going to like it here.

Okay, it's official. His name is SPIKE!! For real.

The baby gates are down!!!! I will be closing him in my bedroom with me at night for a couple of weeks. This will prevent any outbursts in the middle of the night. But I guess my cats are so used to me bringing in newbies, that they're like, "Okay, another one. Zzzzzzzzzzzz."

There is little, if any, hissing. This transition is going so much easier than I expected!!!

Spike suits him. He is so handsome! I love the big guys, too! Ming is 20 lbs and on a diet, but it is coming off of him very slowly. I hope Jake slims down faster, he's such a good looking cat!

Katldy,

I'm sure the weight will come off quickly. He's on Wilderness which is alot better than the cheap $hit the previous owners were feeding him.
