I have a friend who has been cycling in and out of the hospital and nursing homes since October. One of her neighbors has been going over taking care of her cat. The lady has been doing a great job caring for him, but the poor boy has been by himself for months. I drove across the state today to bring him to my house.
I have him in a large dog crate with food, water, a litter box and fluffy towels for a bed. The crate is in my bedroom with the door closed so the crew can't go harass him. I have plenty of experience introducing a new cat to the mix so I know how to do it. It will take time, but everyone will adjust. Lord love a duck, the crazy cat lady now has SEVEN cats! |

Aww. That’s wonderful. I feel badly for your friend though. She can take comfort in knowing that he now has a great home now.

I'm glad you could help her out and take in the cat. A friend did the same recently for a co-worker who was having health issues.

Sean, new/foster kitty, is settling in really well. He seemed so lonely in the crate in my bedroom. I moved him to the living room in a larger crate this afternoon. The others took turns sniffing noses with him. I expected loud, multiple choruses of the hissing choir. There's only been a small amount of hissing/ growling. I was anticipating him having to stay in the crate for a couple of weeks. At this rate it might only be a few days. I'm really glad this is going well. I have enough stress in my life without them threatening to murder each other.

They are probably taking cues from you that they should adopt this lonely guy! 😃

Thanks I was wondering how that was going. Poor guy. He looks like a pretty mellow fellow.

He is definitely a mellow fellow. He and Miette seem to be budding up.
I sit on the floor in front of the open crate and give him scritches. BG came over to get in the middle of things the other night. Sean stayed calm, but looked at me like what the h e l l is that!?!? |

That's what I thought. His mom is retired so they were home together all the time. Then all of a sudden he's all by himself. The neighbor lady spent time with him, petted him, played with him, but it wasn't the same as having his human at home.

Sean is liberated! He kept asking why he had to stay in jail. Tonight when I opened the crate to love on him Miette went in with him. They loved on each other some. I decided to let him out. He is exploring the house. The others seem okay with him wandering around. Things are good so far!

Oh, so cool. I bet Miette has a crush and told the others to be nice!
