Today was the day we offically decided to keep Staalsy. This meant a few things:
1. He would need to get familiar with the other cats
2. He would need to realize there is more to the house than my room.
3. That he has a home.
I'm more than certain he had the "i have a home" thing figured out the second he came into this house, but still having a home means having to get along with the others.
Today he met most of the other cats. I brought them into my room-one at a time at first but Skeeter ran in when Tipper did. All in all: it went pretty well. There was hissing, as to be expected, but no fighting. He pretty much hissed, meowed & went back to sleep. Everyone else carried on as if the other were not in the room.
We put all the other cats in the other two rooms and let him explore the living room/dining room/kitchen. He didn't want to leave my room at all to start so I picked him up & brought him out. He sniffed around until he found the toy basket.
Staalsy has discovered cat nip in a big way. The blur by his back feet is the little bag. He flung it around, purred on it, talked to it & licked it.
He came back into my room after that *with his new found bag of cat nip* and went to sleep.
He also started his anti-biotics today. It's a liquid & I was worried about how he would handle it. Staalsy, however, took his medicine like a professional. It smells horrible & I assume it tastes just as bad based on the amount of drool that came from him after. I feel really bad but he needs to have it.
I was working on a drawing so he came to 'help' me.
Staalsy is also a die hard Pens fan:
He's had a busy day exploring, meeting new cats, finding new toys & getting new meds. He's currently passed out in his favorite spot.
We've only know him since Monday night & I already love him.
