Title: Ebony
Post by: sonya on November 23, 2006, 19:27:00 PM
Hi All,

I brought my new girl home today and she has been re-named Ebony by my boys  :Luv:   She seems to be settling in well and quite happy in my bedroom, had a few curious looks from Ozzy and Daisy as I passed with her, and they are hanging around the door but no hissing just yet thank god lol.  Can someone give me a bit of advice on how best to introduce her to my other two, I thought it best to do it gradually but not sure how long I should keep them apart, Daisy was a kitten when I introduced her to Ozzy after Toffee died and he pretty much accepted her straight away but I know its not as simple as that when the cat is older.

The rescue told me that their vets said she was about ten months when they took her to be spayed but shes tiny so they couldnt be sure. Shes also quite thin and needs building up and her coat is not in the best of condition, any ideas on what will help peeps? 

Anyway I am smitten already , shes so loving and affectionate, had lots of cuddles off her, and shes great with the kids, had her chipped at the rescue today and shes booked in for vaccinations and a check up at vets next week.  Im so happy shes home!!

Sonya

Aww, she is lovely!! I would keep her on kitten food to build her up, and maybe a weekly treat of Hills a/d (From the vet). Some rescue cats do have poor fur condition that goes within a couple of weeks, but regular brushing, and wiping down with babywipes should help.

 :Luv:  :thanks: for that Des, will definitely give the baby wipes a go, didnt think of that, will get some hills stuff when I take her for check up and see if that helps.
