Hello Savvy Lovers; from NorCal :)

[admin]

I brought him home around 6 after work today He looked so beautiful in the crate, but when I got home he is stunning! I let him walk around for a bit by himself then he came right up to me and gave me a little rub. I sat on the floor for a while and we played with his fly toys (he absolutely loves them!) As long as they are moving, he will chase them. Haha. It too a while for him to want to jump, but I eventually got him going a bit. Just in litter bursts. He seems to be getting used to his room already. Batted at his water bowl for a bit. He gave me my first headbutt as I was laying on the floor playing with him He took to my wife pretty fast too. Once he was tired of playing, he laid next to her on the bed. He such a great kitty and we are soooo happy to have him in our home now!

Lucky Sorte, lucky you. Huge congrats Paul. I'm heading out of town and can't wait to check back in tomorrow night for more stories. I am so very happy that you have been headbutted

I've done the same thing, Jacqui, I just searched until I found the exact mousie lure and froggy lure that my cats go wild over and it's perfect!

They are really cheap too, Brigitte. I think I paid $1.50 for each.

I just named him too He now goes by Sorte (Destiny, Fate in Italian) Alpine Burgess.

Paul, he is just GORGEOUS!

He's a cute fellow. I am glad you found your boy!

Thanks everyone! I woke up this morning and went directly into his room. I was immediately greeted by lots of talking, rubbing up on my legs and once I sat down on the floor he was crawling in my lap and pretty much marking me as his territory with head rubs all over! I was happy to see that he had finally used his litter box last night too. I gave him fresh food and water this morning and he drank lots of water as soon as I set it down (dehydrated from the flight I think), plus he ate a fair amount once I softened it a bit with water.

He seems to be settling in very well.

He's now signed up for Trupanion too.
