I Want To Bring Her Inside

Where the heck are the pictures of this precious kitty?

Sounds like your transition is working out just fine! Kittens are so easy to incorporate into a home of older cats. They just smack them silly till they finally get it. Long as there's no blood shed. Have a squirt bottle handy. Great job, Lizbud!!

I'm so happy to hear that you have Baby Kitty inside and that she is doing so well. Whaty a lucky girl!
Pictures would be nice.

Thanks Donna. Baby Kitty is not a kitten. She has lived in my garage
for the last 4 1/2 years. I think she was about 6-7mos when she first showed
in the neighborhood. She is just so small & acts so kittenish, I started to call
her Baby.


Pictures are coming, I promise. I've just been bending over backwards to
make everything as stress free as possible & none of the cats are big fans of
the camera, especially Baby. The flash scares her.

It shouldn't be to hard to snap a few though as everyone settles down
a little more. Slow & easy is the motto around here right now.

Please don't scare the Baby. We can wait awhile for pictures. It is more important that she is able to adjust to being inside. BUT, when she is comfy...well, we do love pictures here!

I have a problem with one cat, Blackie. He is a dsh black cat who is the
oldest kitty (by 1 yr) and the first cat brought inside besides Momma Kitty's
two babies (Redbud & Michael). Blackie was brought inside when they were
both less than a year old. He is the official Uncle to all the younger ones.


Problem is, he will not eat in the same room as Baby Kitty & I've always
fed everyone together, until now. I have been taking his plate into another
room for him and feeding his wet food separate from the others.

Is this a good idea? Or should I hold out & make him come join the others?

Any ideas to help solve this problem?

[lizbud]

Well, the feeding problem resolved itself and things are moving alone
very well. BK has found all the fun hidey places & mixs & mingles pretty well
with all the other kitties. She seems to have picked out Joey (my youngest)
as her play buddy & follows him around the most.

I am so glad I brought her inside. I have finished the pictures and
will drop off the camera to get them put on a cd so I should have pictures
to upload next week.

Well, no pictures of Baby Kitty inside just yet, but here's a few of her
just before I brought her inside.

Sitting on my car.



She took off like a shot when the flash went off & ended up here. Can you
see where she is hiding?
