Debbie,
This week, it is two years since I adopted Monte. Funny, as I remembered it last night as I was lying on the couch petting his fat black self. Gus came to me in July. I can tell you Gus did WONDERS for Monte. Those two are always playing, and it does give them one another to pick on. I did have to rehome Georgia as Monte was just too much for her anymore. Gus helped, he really did. Monte is 2.5, Gus is almost 1, and everyone else is OLD! It makes more sense to have two kitties closer in age, and relieve some of the pressure from Peanut.

I noticed that at first, Monte was just pesky with the other cats. He always wanted to play, but, would scatter off easily. It was only as he matured, closer to one year, that his play became too much for the others, and he really never left Georgia alone at all. So, something to consider, while CJ might just be pesky to Peanut now, it could BECOME to much for Peanut at some point, like it did with Georgia. Just a thought.
