Hoping to pick her up the Monday or Tuesday before Christmas…. We’re probably overthinking the whole integration, but other than that, we’re looking forward to getting her settled. Wife kind of likes Nova, but Nuala (sounds like “Noolah”)came to me right after our first meeting, I think that’s going to stick.
awww she's beautiful, looks like a tortie?0 -

Thanks for the well wishes... part of me thinks I might be making a mistake; we have a good routine w/ Chains since we put Alice down.. meals alone are much easier... she grazes here & there, there's not a lot of structure to when we feed her. She's never been food aggressive, we can leave food out & she doesn't overeat. Sometimes I forget to even give her wet food in the evening because she won't cry for it.
Unless the new cat is also a grazer, we may have to put some structure back to the meal times. Not the worst thing in the world, and if the companionship works out for Chains like I hope, it will be well worth it.
Regardless, we can't turn back now... we paid the adoption fees last night. LFG0 -
Good luck. I get it with the feedings. One of my cats is not super food motivated but the other one is a little piggy. So, I have to only feed them at specific times and watch them like a hawk. If he finishes first and I am not watching he will start eating her food. He is also on prescription food so it is not good for him to be eating her food. So feeding them is a production.0

Chains is healthy / a good weight, so we were never that worried about it. Fingers crossed this new cat is a grazer too.0 -
First post on this thread but have been reading with interest for a while. We have two cats (rescued together) and realised very early on that one is more dominant than the other with food so we invested in a pair of these and haven’t looked back!

One of my cats is more dominate over food than the other as well. Although the other one chases the food dominate one a lot over he house. Their about the same age. I'm guessing the food dominate cat had a rough kitten life with food? I'll look into that pet feeder thing.

No, we’ve had them for over three years now but I finally decided to post some pictures of them. We got them as rescues - they aren’t related but were brought up together from kittens until their previous owners had to give them up through ill health.It’s been great seeing all the other photos and reading the stories in this thread (if a little heartbreaking sometimes).0

Merry Christmas from Orin & Theo to all the pj cat community

Nuala came home with us tonight. We’ll introduce her to Chains in a couple days. In the meanwhile she’s just chilling in the spare bedroom… emphasis on chill, she’s walking around getting the lay of the place, purring away & being friendly. So far so good.Merry Christmas, all.0
-
So sweet. Congrats on Nuala. Does Chains suspect that something is up?0
-
Thanks GG. I think Chains knows what’s up… might have caught a glimpse of N, but for now we’re keeping them separated. So far so good, Chains isn’t particularly anxious. (Any more than normal that is)0
