48 hour update! StillNoName (sorry ) is eating well now and playing. He's still spending a lot of time under the bed - a move from outside to in with new person and other cats is a stressful experience after all - but he always comes out to say hello when I come into the room. We had a short football lesson last night with the ping pong ball (well, I was using my fingers to flick it back at him) - I shall persevere, 'cos unlike my girls, I think he might "get it"! The poor boy is going a bit stir crazy, although the room is a reasonable size (you could get a double bed in there no problem) he's obviously used to roaming around outside. So, every time I open the door he tries to escape! That means that three of my girls have seen him, so I left the door open and sat by it last night and we did limited introductions of just a few minutes each one by one over the course of 3 hours or so. Molly sat next to me and hissed at him, Rug touched noses with him, hissed at him, poked around the room, had a good old sniff of the litter tray, tarted around me as usual and then decided she was bored 'cos I wouldn't let her eat his food so she wandered off. Jenny hissed at him and stomped off (she's getting old). The girls were all quite relaxed though: the hissing was half-hearted - more like "I know you're there but you're new so I need to let you know that I'm the boss of you". Good start after he's been here such a short time! He's a big wuss though, went and hid under the bed. He'll come out and talk to them in his own time. Although I am of course skipping out the litter tray religiously and giving him fresh food in clean bowls at every meal, the room is getting a bit smelly - it's still warm outside and I can't leave the window open more than locked on the vent and have to shut the door. So tonight, I'm going to shut the kitchen door, in case he discovers the cat flap, and let him have the run of upstairs for a couple of hours until I go to bed - give the spare room a chance to air. Hopefully more photos later if he's relaxed enough for me to take 'em |
