Camp Vermont / Juni Rose arrived!

[Steffi N]

The pictures are great of the two beauties. It's wonderful that Ti is Juni Rose's playmate and protector. I hope that Miley will soon start enjoying her company. I'm looking forward to more news and pictures from Camp Vermont.
Enjoy your little love bug.

Anna and Barbara, your roses are beautiful.

I haven't had much time to follow the development the last few days, but I'm happy to hear that Ti is being SO nice to Juni and everything is going so smoothly. Hopefully, Miley will come around and join in soon.

The pics are great!!

WELCOME JUNI ROSE ,

She is a beautiful baby girl. What a cutie...

Our experience with the Bubbles - Mango - Peaches introductions was that showing more consistent attention to the cat who is having the worst time adjusting to the new situation helps them overcome their discomfort. Besides the other two are having fun so they won't feel cheated. It still takes time to work it all out but it will.

Mango started out as a super affectionate kitten and has only gotten more affectionate as an adult. They don't grow out of it, they just get more proficient at it!

Mango curls up on the pillow beside me with the top of his head against my cheek - and purrs himself to sleep. The first time he did that he was only four months old. Now he's two and a half.

Although things were quiet tonight when I got home, I still worry about Ti and Miley having their oh so scarey tangles. Juni and Miley are fine. I think it will take weeks for Miley and Ti to get over their fighting days. Right now Ti is sitting by the closet door, waiting for Miley to appear. I am watching closely to make sure they don't tangle. Things have improved for the most part, but gosh, I surely didn't expect it would be so ugly of a start. Ti doesn't seem to be doing the "heat seeking missle" thing right now....just sitting, waiting.

I am thinking of putting Miley in a large container and trying to resocialize her. She seems to do better if she feels protected. Maybe I should just let them handle it on their own!

Off to the drawing board.

SAS,

Please don't think this presumptuous of me, but I happened upon a site today & read an article dealing with multi-cat households. It makes a lot of good points to consider in dealing with Miley, Ti & sweet Juni Rose. (mostly Miley & Ti, I think). If you've not seen this particular article, I think you'd enjoy it & the site. Hugs & Best wishes from my furry gang.

excellent article

[smokey the elder]

I'm so glad Ti is getting along with his new little sister. Now poor MIley can have some peace, and the cat dynamic will be back to a similar (meta)stable state it was with Graemer, Gabriel and Miley! Great pix of Juni chasing Ti's tail.

Well, for the most part, I am doing everything the way I should, according to the article. Last night Miley stayed in the bedroom with Juni and me and did not leave. Progress. She did however, hiss at Ti when he came to the bedroom door to do his "I'm awake, Mom" yowling and sniffing. It really bothers Miley when he does this and sends her right to the closet!

I bet this process will take months.

By the way, Juni received some very nice new toys in the mail, from her furry friends in NJ! She loves the one with the feathers! Ti is rather fond of the other rolling toys! Juni Rose is saving some of her allowance to buy Mocha a chew toy, for when she arrives at Robyn's.

Well, let me go clip some more nails....and play with the cats....in that order. You should see my legs and hands from Juni. She isn't wild, just has razor sharp teeth and wicked claws! I clipped her claws this morning and one paw on Ti. I still have Miley and the other 1/2 of Ti to do!

Kitten claws are like needles and their canine teeth (fangs) are like stillettos!

[sasvermont]

Ummm, Juni, I think you have the WRONG cat for what I think you are TRYING to achieve! It's a good thing Ti has a good sense of self!



And here we are, just hanging out in Ti's bed!



Mom, pllleeeaassse, we are trying to catch up on our sleep!



I think we are in love. I rather like older men, says Juni Rose...

Oh my gosh!!! I am pinching myself because I can't believe my eyes! Too cute!!!!! Dear little Miley just has to bite the bullet now and decide that if a *widdle 4 pound baby girl* can accept the Ti man she will have to also! Sallyanne these are just awesome. I love the look on Ti's face in these pictures. Juni seems to feel very much at home. A cat pile of two - do we dare wish for a cat pile of three!!! I'll stay tuned...

Juni Rose doesn't seem to mind being squashed by the big guy

[krazyaboutkatz]

Sallyanne, these pics are great. Ti and Juni look so happy together. I sure hope that Miley will come around soon too. At least she seems to be accepting Juni. My new cat Sky is fitting pretty well. Cirrus seems to be the most interested in him but wants to make friends a little too quickly. Storm, Cirrus, and Sky have hissed a few times at each other but nothing major has happened. Sunny still seems a little bit scared of Sky. Since he's half aby, maybe it's an aby thing. All in all this has been one of the smoothest introductions so far.

Big Ti and little Juni look so darned sweet together!
