Awwww Sharni, she's adorable! I love cats, they bring out the softy in me. She's really cute, who could resist eyes like that...?

tika is sooooo cute. neat name , too.

My house is 'pet-less' for the first time in many years.

We've been think about getting a dog or cat.

Your little one has me thinking cat. :)

*giggles at her motor running flat out* my second kitten did that too... my existing cat never had much of a motor... but he's a lover on his own terms.

She's so cute!!!! And sits reall nice for pics!!

Congrats!!!

He’s cute as a kitten. :D……………….. (wonder why :rolleyes2 ) lol

I know Scoob will be thrilled with any new playmate he recognizes as part of your pack. If the truth be told, I bet that even with his lummox enthusiasm,:) he’s surprisingly gentle with the babe. I think he’ll be more accepting of kitty than the cat will. They seem to be big on the territorial issues.

My experience has gathered that the scent functions of our fellow mammals processes in ways we can’t even conceive. I’ve had good luck introducing many things to a less than welcoming environment, with extended scent exposure alone. If kitty is in quarantine for the moment, try putting in a bedding cloth or towel in with him and changing it every couple days and just leave it about in the house for the others to ponder before washing it. If you’re giving him visiting privileges, maybe start with short, supervised meetings and gradually extend the frequency and duration. Perhaps even a separate feeding of snack in the big house, then let the other clean up the scrap after the little one is gone.

I’ll be interested in the integration. Please keep us posted. :)


NOW!……………… the name.

I had a few appropriate names in mind. First thought was something like “Flood” or “Waves”. Noting his location, maybe even “Tsunami” would work if yu haven't sent in his birth certificate yet. :D Are you planning on teaching your kitty to swim? :rolleyes2

Pretty little thing!

Sharni
What a cutie! Tika is a great name. I am a big time kitty lover. I hold a 4 cat maximum and 1 dog. Although, with my pets alone - I am down to 2 kitties and 1 dog.

3 of my cats were blk. Just love blk cats. Bo Bo ( I didnt name her) is the only one still alive outta the blk ones. Minx and Chelsea were bro and sis.

Good luck with the new addition. I never did anything special when getting a new family member. I just let them work it out on their own.

Good Luck Again

Hugs,
Barb

She's adorable! Now you're really making me want one. :)

osuche, a new house NEEDS a new cat :) I'm sure you can find a lovely kitten in San Fran. It will help the house feel like a home. Or at least that's what I was told when I bought my house, and I've got a truly spoiled and lovely cat (who's being quite boisterous this morning I might add).

osuche,

maddy's right! :)
