All About Angus!

[ericaaa]

The car ride home went extremely smooth and Angus' first night was a success! The first hour of the car ride, my BF kept him on his lap & he slept and purred and headbutted! But after about an hour, he started getting curious & we were worried about him getting under the seats & under my feet as I was driving, so he stayed in the carrier most of the rest of the way. He seemed fine with being in it too. I think he pretty much slept the whole way home, because by the time we got to the house he was ready to play! We stayed up with him another hour introducing him to his room and all of his new toys and he had a blast! He's staying in the bathroom adjacent to our bedroom, so as we went to bed, we could hear him meow for about 3 minutes, then he continued playing without us! This morning after a few hours rest, he was ready to play again! So we've been wearing him out for a couple of hours and now he's cat napping again. He literally has been purring since we got up with him this morning & he's even purring as he falls asleep! I couldn't have imagined a more loving and friendly kitten! My heart is completely melted!!

Good morning everyone! Angus is doing great adapting to our home. He has not ruined one thing! yet! haha We've used a spray bottle with 4 parts water, 1 part vinegar, to keep him out of things he shouldn't be in- like the fireplace and under a recliner- and he's learning very quickly not to do those things again! He's a ball of energy when we get home from work though, so we played with him and ran him ragged for about 4 hours til bedtime! He was pooped!!

So I have a question. It seems he is a bit cross eyed. This doesn't bother me too much because I know its only a cosmetic thing and it isn't effecting his vision. My boyfriend is kind of irked about it because we did pay such a large sum for this kitten we expected to be what we were told he would be. The biggest issue is, in some of the pictures our breeder sent us, we thought they looked a little crossed, so I asked the breeder about it. She told me it was just him focusing on the camera & was nothing to worry about. I feel mostly upset that she wasn't straight forward with us about it. And maybe because she was with him all the time she didn't notice? I don't know. But what I was really wondering if his eyes may straighten out as he gets older? Is there anything non-invasive we could do to help fix it? I 100% know all this does is add to his character, but it really does take away from the look of the cat we thought we were getting. Please don't flame me for it! I love him and won't love him any less if he is like this forever, just wanting advice on if there is anything we can do to fix it. Thanks everyone!!

Glad to hear you are committed to this adorable kitten even though he is crosseyed.

He's adorable, and has awesome ears! I hope his eyes work themselves out, but like you said, it doesn't take away from who he is, and the love you feel for him. If it's something that needs surgery, maybe your breeder will reimburse you some of her fee to help cover it. It's worth a try.
