Sounds like all will go well. Has Kahu been able to smell Peedoodle on your hands? (probably smells him all over)

More PIcs! What a sweetheart.

Jake said he wanted to sleep with Kahu in the bedroom to keep him company and I said I would sleep in our normal room so Peedoodle wouldnt feel left out.
Imagine my surprise when I got up at 8.30 and Jake was already up.
I asked him what happened?
He said that Kahu had been up all night playing and playing and was quite wild.

He asked for it LOL. I take it as a good sign that he is comfortable with people in the room.
He is such a sweetie, tomorrow is the big day at the vet and then we can get Peedoodle and Kahu to touch noses. I am a little afraid.
The photos make Kahu look a little bigger than he is, is is quite tiny, has these littlest legs and feet. Tiny little feet that are sooo cute! And the good news is, he still has all his claws!

Aww, what a pretty kitty! He is lucky to have you as his new mum. I am glad he is getting along with your other kitty ok. They should be fun to watch when they get to know each other better.

Awww what a pretty one. I had a foster a little while back, hated being picked up, didn't jump she always had to have 4 paws on the floor, it took us forever to convince her to put her 2 front paws up on my lap... just for a second! But by the time she got adopted she was much better, she was jumping up on my lap, she even jumped on the counter once! =O But she was still iffy about being held at times.

Hope the babe likes a good brushing!

I brushed him last night and he just loved it, kept coming back for more! He is soooo tiny compared to Peedoodle, I guess I am not used to little kitties, after having Peedoodle, every cat I see is tiny LOL. I think the poor darling is exhausted after playing all night, he has been sleeping most of the morning, but he came out to eat some wet cat food.

Last night I slept with Kahu, he slept on the bed with me, which I took as a good sign. Last night he came out to explore his new surroundings (living room, kitchen, hallway), he walked meowing meowing all the time, and then starting running up and down the hallway, playing with the toys. While Peedoodle is sleepign with Jake in the bedroom, I have let Kahu out this morning and he is sitting on the desk with me right now. He is sooo sweet! He is my little Hemi motor, his purr reverbates his tiny little body.
He is soo loving this attention that I am giving him! Scritches and head bobs galore!

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
I'm so glad he likes attention! Don't you love it when their purr motors turn on?

I bet he's especially GORGEOUS after a bath!

Good luck at the Vet's!

The vet went well, he didnt mind being handled and 'shot' by the vet. Its just the neutering I am worried about, is he going to hate me for life?
He got a clean bill of health and right now Peedoodle and Kahu and scoping each other out, nothing violent has happened, so every time Peedoodle goes near Kahu without hurting him, I give him a treat. I wonder how long this will take! I think Peedoodle is the alpha cat here!

Kahu looks a lot better, but he still smells funny, I think its partly from where he was living, with a man who couldnt take care of him, and partly from the shelter. Any ideas of how to get rid of the smell besides baths? I am not ready to get scratched again!

He won't hate you, I promise. In fact, he may just see you as his savior when you come to take him out of that awful place.
Most of the time they do have short memories.

As for the smelly baby, perhaps the vanilla on a towel thing would work. It's obviously usually used when introducing cats or re-aquainting them after the vet visit, but it may help for your nose too. Just a drop of vanilla on a towel and then rub him down with the towel. Don't really know how much it would help, but it's worth a try anyway.


(Do we get more pics of the clean baby now?)

Heres a picture! I was lucky enough to use a blow dryer LOL. But I couldnt get every single part of him dry as he kept walking around and staring at himself in the mirror!

He looks bigger in the photos, but he is actually really tiny, when we went to the vet, he weighed in at 6lbs. And his legs look really short, its like he is a munchkin (although he isnt)

Aawww, he seems to be such a lovely kitty! You must be so proud. The pictures are beautiful and I just love the name. I`m looking forward to hearing loads more about him and Peedoodle.

Things are going okay, but slowly with Peedoodle and Kahu, but I need a reality check - if I love on Kahu, I feel guilty for Peedoodle, and if I love on Peedoodle, I feel guilty for Kahu. Am I crazy?
Peedoodle has started to sniff Kahu's bum - what does that mean? And he is also trying to play with Kahu, but Kahu wont play, he is more interested in nosing around the apartment. Kahu has also started to follow me around, its really cute!

No Kellye, you're not crazy. I feel the same way except that it is generally because Trent and Ophelia are both very jealous kitties.
Ophelia complains loudly if Daddy is loving on Trent and Trent pouts if I love on Ophelia.

As for Peedoodle sniffing Kahu's bum, that's how they greet each other. Peedoodle is also saying that he's the alpha by doing the sniffing, but in a very non-confrontational way. That's a good thing.
