Quick update! I had a REALLY long shift today so photo uploads are going to have to wait, but I wanted to drop in.

We got the official OK to keep him! My hubby talked to his mom and she agreed! I guess we're a three cat household now! Charlie and Sherpa now approach him with friendliness and curiosity, no more hissing! Since Charlie has flare ups of feline herpes occasionally, we're keeping both cats away from direct contact until he's had some vaccines, but the outlook for a peaceful household is good!

When he got upgraded from foster to permanent cat, he also got a new name: Kyuubei! Right now he's asleep in my lap.

Tonight he took his first few licks of KMR from a dish. He lost his balance and face-planted into the KMR partway through, so once he had sneezed it all out he wanted the bottle back, but it was a start!

My dog Jasper is very concerned about all of the goings on with HIS KITTEN, and wants to be involved with all aspects of kitten care. Kyuubei is in return very interested in Jasper, and watches him constantly. I think Kyuubei and Jasper are going to be very good friends.
