Re: Paloma is here!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)


amy (my persian) is the sweetest most gentle cat, and before max came long i would never have guessed that she could hiss ...but hiss she did . It took her a couple weeks to get accustomed to Max.

Mad puss hissed and went on bad for both Amy and Max. She tolerates them now, and even plays with them, but still hisses if they get too close or she's just feeling cranky.

So while Tango may not warm up completely to Paloma, maybe Paloma and Paris will be best friends

CeeBee, I really hope Paris and Paloma become buds. Paris would love that. I think it is going very well for the first few days, we're only on day 3 and tonight when I came home from work and sat down at the computer she waltzed pass 2 dogs to come and get petted.

I feel so honored. I know I have to be careful of how honored I let her know I am though, as I've seen people blow it big time over being head over heels smitten over a puppy. It's just never happened to me like this with a kitteh before! I cannot believe!

Ok Tanya, you know Tango would LOVE a kitteh.

Have you ever seen this pic before? See how the little dawg luv the kitteh...

Lawd Nooks! I've never seen a littebox like that but I haven't shopped for any cat stuff in a long time. After my heart was broken when I lost my calico I got Henry.

Sounds like you've got it all under control though. But poor Tango....he was the #1 cat to be bumped down with a puff ball....him pisssed off. lol. Sometimes they will hiss and spit for weeks. I hope he gets used to her. When I first got Henry Dottie was kinda [censored] off but she got over it real quick. He is her best buddy now....you should see him grooming her. lol.

Paloma, what a pretty name.....

Re: Paloma is here!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

I think Tango will adjust. He is ignoring her but at least he isn't being aggressive. Whew. I didn't think he would be but I also didn't think he would be THIS hurt. I feel bad but he'll get over it..

Paloma is under a year old so of course she has lot's of spunk. Since I started this post she has just waltzed across my desk and over the keyboard to say hi on her way to the other side of the room. It's like she walks on air she is so light on her feet. We've been playing chase the feathers so she is kind of wound up right now and it's fun to watch because she is still being sweet and gentle while starting to come out of her shell. I honestly didn't think she would be this far advanced in acclimating to her new surroundings this soon, so great.

Big yay.

We spent a couple of hours in the living room today but she only hid so I figured that was long enough. I'll add more time gradually, I just don't want her not to feel secure.

Sounds like she's integrating nicely. Be sure to get her one of those sisal scratching post or she'll tear up your furniture.

Re: Paloma is here!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

I was liking the cat scratching thingie that has the balls in it that CeaBee posted in the cat toys thread.

Wow, she is coming out of her shell in a big way now!

She like to cuddle and sleep on top of the covers, and hangs on to my hand with her paws. She is doing this cute little hang on thing with her claws but only soft, she doesn't scratch me (yet).

And she is now a purrrring machine!

Schultz, she is integrating very nicely. I think she has seen the dogs enough now that I can set her loose in the rest of the house! I imagine she will spend a few days in hiding mode like she did when she first came, but she has had quite a bit of face to face with Paris and Rosebud (supervised) and seems to feel they are not a threat.

Paris is beside herself with glee!

The other things, I have never seen a cats tail so active. When we were playing last night her tail was soooo animated and in so many curled positions all I could do was laugh!

I've already alerted Paris's other mom that when I come to doggie sit, Paloma is coming with. Tango stays home, I know he would hate going. I'll get this kitteh used to traveling so it's a regular thing.

I need to get her chipped. I have a friend with a scanner and the chipping tool so I'm hoping she has an extra chip!

Re: Paloma is here!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

There are 3 more at the rescue house where I got Paloma! There were 9 in all. To tell you the truth, I never realized there are Persian rescue groups. I paid an arm and a leg for my first Persian back in the 1970's. Big time. I should have known though, since it seems every animal has a rescue nowadays...

Actually, I paid an arm and a leg for Paloma but I imagine a fraction of what you pay to a breeder. I guess the silver is coveted so they ask more, even from rescue. No mind, I'll recover.
