WELCOME HOME TO MIKUS MARCO BUTTERSCOTCH! What a beautiful, wonderful little guy! Elmer is absolutely thrilled and will be delighted to serve as male-CH role model for and mentor to him.

When Elmer was a baby at the shelter, we discovered that it was very important, when picking him up, to hold both his front legs and his back legs level on something steady and stable.. otherwise he'd get into an absolute panic and cry and cry. In the more-than-year he's lived here, he's not so bad with that but still squirms and might gripe out loud if his feet aren't all held steady.

When he was at the shelter, he was in a room with a lot of other kittens. He chased and played and wrestled with the gang just like all the others.. and in a kitten-fight he gave as good as he got! He and Poppy (2 years old) still chase each other and sometimes wrestle, and it's still a level playing field as far as they're both concerned.

Don't know about a special CH-meow. His voice is higher-pitched than the others' voices.. sort of like he's still a half-grown kitten.

Headbumpies and cuddles to the new baby and all the rest of the family from all of us (and an extra nosetwinkle to the lovely Taccoa from her knight in furry armor Elmer)..

Elmer, Poppy, Sydney, Peony, and Pat
