I'm following the rules:



We're thinking of calling him Nimbus, as he looks like a little cloud. He's also already smarter than Grue is, though that's not super hard. He's from a local rescue but he's not adopted officially as they do not adopt out until they are desexed and chipped and he is too underweight for either yet so we are fostering him.

He eats like a warthog.

That'd be the briefness of the meeting. Grue is good-looking and reasonably well-behaved, but Arthur was smarter than her at 9 weeks old, I'm pretty sure. She was hand-raised from 2 weeks old and we think she's missing some "how to be a cat" lessons.

Gotta say Arthur was a bigger attention-whore though. Don't know if he's still like that but he was using his smarts at the time to be a silly s*ut for attention.

ETA: Yeah, I think it will work out better. And he's already in love with my DH. He was fascinated with his facial hair, I don't think he'd interacted with any men before.

Soap holders?



That's my DH's hand, for scale.

He slept quietly through the night (they shared the bed but Grue wouldn't look at him) and they are right now both laying on my sister, Grue does not want him to bounce up to her but no one has clawed anyone, she's just hissed a few times. He meows if he feels intimidated and Grue sprints away if he yells.

Naw tiny kitty! I hope that Grue adjusts to her little brother soon. If she's not too bright, she might be just figuring out what he is, or trying to work out how Roswelle came back tiny and white.

Oooh Oooh!! Tiny!! So adorable. Enjoy your newest family addition!

Right now they're sleeping next to each other!

But not touching. If he tries to touch her Grue hisses at him, but apparently he came up to her, she hissed, he sat down next to her, she hissed again, then put her head down and conked out and they're both asleep.

I gave Grue scritches on her head and she jumped for a second making sure it was me not him, but then stretched out purring and now they're still peaceable near each other, less than a foot apart on the guest bed. For not even 24 hours I'm cautiously quite optimistic.

She's not food protective, he's been eating like a wolf, she took two of her toys off him but she has always been one who can't give a damn about food. And he has no interest in fighting, he's less combative than most of the foster kittens had been.

Grue escorts everyone to the bathroom and if you shut her out sits outside it crying. She has been known to go to sleep in my DH's pants while they're around his ankles on the throne.

She enjoys getting into the shower not while its on but when its freshly off. She also stares at people as they take baths with this wide-eyed, manaical expression, with her front legs on the edge of the tub all "THAT'S WATER WHAT ARE YOU DOOOING?!"

But she's never paid the slightest notice to the soap holder. So maybe Arthur is a bit "special."

My cat, Lulu, does exactly this!! So cute! I like slipping down completely under the water and seeing her total look of horror

It is very possible. I am NOT a cat person. I've said many nasty things about cats in the past. We are getting a rescue kitten (and maybe a rescue kitten's brother or sister?) when we move in a couple of weeks. The kitty cluck has hit HARD.
