Thanks everyone! he is too adorable in person. he has full little cheeks, even though it doesnt really look like it, and he has a smile! I will try to get pics. been very busy sitting with him and playing.

I put the screen up for a while last night and there was hissing and growling, but I made hubby sit with amber and play with her awhile, and vinson was entranced. he would make a little noise then pop up and go toward the screen. then amber would growl a little and he would back away.

they played footsies under the door, although I am not sure how fun it was for them, because amber growls and if vinson pokes his foot under a little she will pounce!

today, I have heard no growling. she sits outside his door. I might put the screen up tonight and play with him and let amber watch instead.

am I doing this too fast?

I think you're doing great! I was not fortunate to have a screen. I pretty much threw them together within a couple days
Keep up with the vanilla too!


Also do you have a feliway plug in? I had one of those too.

I keep forgetting the vanilla!
I dont have a plugin. I probably should.

I had the screen up today and cracked the door. I gave amber his snugglie and she growled at it! but sniffed intently. she was watching him for a while from afar. I took that as a good sign. then she came over and started with the hisses and the growling. she even attacked the screen once. thats when i closed the door. ok, tomorrow I buy a plugin! and poor vinson chirps like he wants to play! and then amber comes over and starts, from the other side of the door.

Thanks, I hope I am doing this right!

Vinson is a very handsome boy!


Sounds like everything is going normally, it will take Amber a while to adjust. Kayla did the same to Pixie for a while, but now she's even playing occasionally with her now!

Bought a plugin today. Applied vanilla. At first, no growling. That came later! I also have to learn to just keep the flash on. This is the screen for his room:



Amber watching intently






Vinson just wants to be friends. Do you see a little 'smile'?






But amber is being stubborn. she jumps at him and he gets scared! I cant believe how chunky she looks.

I just love these last pics...you can just see them both thinking their own little thoughts. Vinson trying to figure out "how do I get to join in and play ?", Amber thinking "who is this guy and how to I get to play with him and still let him know this is my house ?"

Good Luck !

Great new pics! I also like the last one too, although I felt bad for poor Vinson that he got scared. He is such a handsome boy.

Great progress has been made! They chase each other and sound like I've got a couple of elephants in the house. But Vinson cant get too close or she will hiss and growl at him. He has had a couple of turns around the house already. For some reason likes the big wide space under mommy's bed.





A peaceful moment




One of the first meetings face to face

Alone time just me and him. He still needs to get used to me some more. I cant pet him without letting him know first. He is such a cutie!

There's no place like home
Woo hoo!! They sure have made a lot of progress in the last few days. I find that the last one in my house that stops growling and hissing is my alpha female. When I brought the fosters into the house on Monday, everyone was OK with them and for the first time tonight, Scarlett sniffed Billie's nose without hissing (just a few minutes ago).

So, what you are seeing is very normal, and actually probably pretty darn good.

Vinson looks like such a sweet guy and very mellow for a siamese. Amber looks like an intelligent inquisitive girl! You are very fortunate to have the both of them.
