I have been posting about introducing a new young cat to my resident cat, Twyla. I am having issues posting pictures off my iPad, but here are their stories.
I have had Twyla for not quite a year and a half. I adopted her from a coworker who wanted to rehome her because they had dogs, a young child and travelled a lot. She is 11 years old and has mild asthma. I adopted her about three months after I lost my two beloved senior kitties three days apart (both had multiple health issues). She is a pretty 12 lb Siamese/Tabby mix who loves to play, snuggle and meow loudly! Getting her when I did was truly a blessing.
Hooper is the new kid on the block. He is not quite six months old and is a sleek, black house panther in training, with a white spot on his chest and gold eyes. He showed up on my back porch in August, starving and skittish and eating birdseed. After a month of feeding and talking to him I was able to catch him and he has been chilling in his second floor palace ever since! He is a love bug, but slow to acclimate to new things, but is starting to explore the house a bit more. He goes in for his second round of shots this week and to get his neuter scheduled.
I have had cats my whole life, but no kittens for almost 20 years. I'd forgotten what a handful they can be!
