Introducing Kallie Update #20

[Roxyluvsme13]

When we introduced Domino to the household, Tallulah wasn't happy, but eventually he grew on her. Tallulah's kind of a jerk anyway, so she still only tolerates him, but there aren't too many tiffs. Bella, on the other hand, . Dommie is having a royal fit over her being in the house, but I mean, if you supervise and let them meet through a gate then gradually let them be around each other, they usually chill out unless they're weird . That's always been my experience.

So miss Kallie was already spayed? That's good! I'm glad she's staying because I certainly want more pictures of her pretty little calico face

Well, I have issues with spaying and then letting them roam. She doesn't act feral, but today she indicated she wanted outside. She may have originally been inside during the night and outside during the day but now they don't let her in at all. Or she was dropped off. The last few weeks she we at my porch within a few minutes of my arriving home. She was hanging out in the woods. One time she went through the horse pasture, but I didn't see her final destination.

I quit feeding regularly for a few weeks and she lost weight, so I started feeding her again. They drive very fast along this road although the speed limit is 25 so she could have become roadkill at any time.

I think I am justifying "poofing" her when I know she was homeless.

And yes, she is beautiful and sweet.

I'm so glad to hear that she was already spayed and in good health. I'm also glad that the introductions have been going well too. Maybe some of your cats are now getting used to new arrivals in your home so it's not such a big deal any more like it was at first. I know that my Storm has seen so many cats come and go that it's not as big of a deal for a newbie to be brought into my home any more. My females still don't like Alani & Blaze though and I've had them since they were about 10 weeks old. They'll soon be 2 years old. If one of them even looks at Ziggy from across the room, she'll growl and hiss. My four boys get along very well. My bedroom has become a cat sanctuary for my four older cats because Alani & Blaze aren't allowed in there. I've always found the females are more difficult when it comes to new introductions and they're also more territorial. It seems like males can live in multi-cat households much easier than females at least this is the case in my home. Good luck.

You're right about that. Spunky especially doesn't seem annoyed anymore and Sam is doing marvelously. Bob doesn't know what to think, but he is curious.

Yes, Jane stayed in the room with her a while, ate some of her food, and used her litter box. However, I think a lot of it has to do with Kallie. She's easy to like and doesn't ruffle feathers. No growling or hissing. Bertie started the growling and hissing and mine were thunderstruck. Bertie sealed her own fate, but thankfully is in a smaller household now. Sam is the only cat that growls and it is at Spunky. They have a love/hate relationship. They are Frienemies.

I've always found my male cats to be more entertaining. They also cause more trouble.

And, of course, Emily doesn't care.
