Here are two lovely Bobby updates from his new home.These were sent to me by Natalie!
“Fiver is crazy, but doing very well. He’s chowing down like a pro, racing all over the house and investigating everything. Haven’t let him and Chubs together without supervision but when they have hung out it has gone really well, better than I could have imagined. He just gives her a wide berth unless something really interesting gets his attention…then if he gets too close she gives him just a bit of a hiss and puts a paw up. But no growling, stare downs, puffed tails or anything like that. He respects her authority! She is mildly interested in, and she’ll watch him and go over to sniff him sometimes but mostly just ignores him.
He is so active, I forgot what its like to have a young’un in the house. He climbs the whole scratching post without using the steps, just scaling the post with his claws. Runs himself silly up and down and up and down the hallway, and he has started mewing more. He cracks us up. Very cute, and seems to have adjusted really well. There is only one negative thing I can say about him…he has the smelliest poops of any cat I’ve ever known!! I bought a few rolls of those little doggie poop bags you get for walking your dog because I have to scoop the box instantly as soon as he goes. It never dissipates; it stays as strong as when it was laid down for hours! How can such a smell come out of such a small sweet cat?
We are starting to try and teach him the ways of the household, like evening TV watching lap time and morning cuddle time…he is so busy all the time that he doesn’t really get around to the laying down cuddling thing too well yet but we’re working on him. He just has so much to see when we let him out of his room that he can hardly contain himself!”
Here is the second one:
“No, thanks those are such great pictures! He is tough to take pictures of since he’s all black and never sits still for one second J Oh, by the way – I weighed him today and he is 5 pounds FIVE ounces. Truly a “Fiver” now. Can you believe that? He’s gained 4 ounces since he left you guys. Fat bellied cat!!!
A hui hou,
Jenine
Everybody here is now so happy for you Fiver!
