Conversation upon sleeping beauty waking from his Saturday morning nap…
Zach: What did you do?
Melissa: Hmm?
Zach: What is that noise in the bathroom?
Melissa: Hmm?
Zach: Meowing. Did you go and get another kitten?????
Well, yeah… yeah I did. I couldn’t help it. George was acting kind of lonely and I thought he might really like to have a little brother or sister. That fact was he was with his sister when we adopted him and it killed
me not to take her too. I knew I would be pushing my luck if I tried for 2 right off the bat though. So, when I saw this guy on the Humane Society website I knew he need to come live with us as soon as possible.
So I waited until ZJ decided to take a little snooze to recover from Halloween partying. Then I made the drive to Woodbury to see if Felipe (don’t worry we changed his name) was still available.
20 minutes later my new 2lb buddy and I were cruising back home. We kept him separated from George for a few days to let him get adjusted. Unfortunately he was having some tummy troubles so we weren’t comfortable leaving him out alone. For his first week and a half, I would go to work and take an early lunch at 11 so I could drive home to check on him and then Zach would come home a few hours later to make sure everybody was doing ok.
We finally figured out that some of his belly issues seemed to be nerves and all he really needed was to be able to hang out with us and George. Of course I found this out by giving into his poor little baby kitten cries at 12:30am and sleeping on the bathroom floor with him.
Everybody is doing great and Harold Chester Floyd has come into his own this week. Harry has taken a special liking to jumping at anything that moves and taking lots of kitty naps. I think George is used to him too…
