We adopted Boo about two months ago, and she is four and a half years old. Boo's profile said she was a calm kitty who loved sleeping in laps, which sounded perfect as feline friend for my mum. She has been in foster care for about two an a half years, after her original person passed away. Poor Boo, she's been looking for her forever home since.
Once she arrived into our home, she decided that in fact she is a very active play driven easily bored kitty! She loves to play with interactive toys!! She will run and jump and leap after them, and we need to keep her entertained. Her previously demure attitude to life was a cunning ploy to get into a home where she could stretch her rather long legs our and be extremely silly.
Boo and Abby are not getting along so great. I actually had a behaviourist out a couple of weeks ago to help stop them from fighting, which was really good. Abby pretty much still stays upstairs and is shy except with me (though she is better with my dad and also working on getting her used to my mum). Boo is mostly downstairs, but is such a curious kitty she loves coming up to have a peek at Abby.
While we are still all finding out feet together, Boo has become a beloved member of the family. So I hope you will look forward to seeing her pop up on the blog in the future.

The cats are back! Love your cat posts, I hope Boo will get along with Abby and they will keep each other company.they are both adorable!
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely girls! I would settle for them just ignoring or tolerating each other. And yes, cats are back. I thought you'd approve.
DeleteBoo is so cute!! I especially love the picture of her sitting with her paws crossed on that scratching post.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on introducing everyone and getting them together! We've actually ended up with cats that only stay on their individual levels, so marmo lives upstairs, and emmie lives downstairs, but I'm hoping they might be able to be in the same room again someday. :D
I would be OK if they could both live peacefully on their different levels of the house. Abby has a nice little routine upstairs (though I do long for her to come downstairs and watch TV with me). But little Boo cannot help herself and has to come upstairs and pick fights!
DeleteHello, there! Such a pretty kitty.
ReplyDeleteShe is!
DeleteAh, hey Boo! What a beautiful baby! And clever! Ha. Love that ploy to get adopted. ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery clever on her part.
DeleteWhat incredible eyes Boo has! Best wishes for improving Boo and Abby's interactions.
ReplyDeleteThank you, we are working on it. And her eyes are so big! She just wanders around with these giant peepers staring at you. It's pretty funny.
