Meet Bond

[IndyJones]

I adopted a new cat to day. His name is Bond. He is coloured like Indy but has white as well.

I unfortunatly don't have pictures yet because he is still a bit cautious but he is very playful and Indy seems to like him. I let her sniff his carrier and no hissing or growling. They even have played together through the glass door.

Bond's basecamp has a glass door like a french door but only one door. Realy handy since they can interact without touching each other.

Bond is a bit hand shy, he greets me purring and soliciting pets but quickly backs off. Almost like I'm going to smack him. He is a rescue who apperently had a home but was left to fend for himself in the country. I can pick him up but he gets airplane ears and squirms.

I have him in his basecamp for now and he is eating, playing and using the litterbox. I think he just needs time honestly.

Welcome Bond! Looking forward to pictures.

Tx for the report! Im happy you found a good solution for you and your resident - and the newcomer. A win - win for all involved.

How old is Bond? If he isnt a kitten, I suppose the Bond tread will be moved into some other subforum.

I really don't know his age, rescue said he was 1 but he really acts like he's younger than that he even plays like a kitten in that typical paws splayed tail curved down posture playing with toys. He also can play for litteraly an hour nonstop, powernap, play nonstop. He realy doesn't look full grown either his paws are huge.

They said hes a year but i'm thinking maybe 9 or 10 months. Seems smaller than Indy.

He has the most unique markings pics don't do justice. Almost like he has both blue tabby and brown tabby markings. I don't think that's possable though. Hes defenatly a boy, I double checked!

What a gorgeous boy, congratulations on the new family member!

The first thing I thought of when I saw your pics was how handsome his markings are - welcome home Bond.

 

[Margot Lane]

Agreed about the markings! never seen any quite like those! welcome!

 

[IndyJones]

Ok he definatly is younger than they said. Bond can play nonstop for an hour.

Well last night Bond pushed Indy's buttons, he tried to steal her food while she was eatting and she bit him! She drew blood.

They are fine today but Bond has a little scab on his neck. I cleaned it with a damp cloth and am keeping an eye on him. They are back to playing again and getting along fine. She just didn't like him bugging her while she was eatting.
