Title: Flora's Home & Introduction (pics added)
Post by: **TINA** on December 21, 2008, 14:24:08 PM
Hi,  Flora is an adorable little gem  :Luv2:
We got her home about 15mins ago. Whilst opening her basket, Rolo was sniffing at her.
Out comes Flora  ;D Rolo sittin watching her  &  Flora strutts her stuff & has a look & a sniff about  :naughty:
Splitz my oldest had a litttle hiss, Flora had a growl & they just left it at that. (but Splitz is often like that with the other 2)
Pod aint so brave yet, he had big growls, but not got close to her.
Flora is coming to us for fusses & she has explored where litter water biscuits etc is. Oh and she likes the xmas tree.

And as i type this Rolo is talking squeky to her. Think they will be playing before long  :briggin:

Pics will follow soon   :Luv:

Tina Mick Splitz Pod Rolo & Flora x x x

I didn't do much really. I think the people that did the work were the fosterers who showed unending patience with Floras outbursts, Nicky for rescuing her in the first place and of course Tina and her OH for offering Flora what she deserves; a loving home.

I just want to see some pictures.... ;)

Eeeeeee! :) That's brilliant. So nice to see her looking settled.
Title: Re: Flora's Home & Introduction
Post by: **TINA** on December 21, 2008, 23:58:13 PM
Because there aint been any bad agression between them all (apart from the odd growl earlier on)
we are just lettin them all do their own thing, Rolo still squeeking at her, Pod has been a bit braver & got closer, and as i type her is being brave & Flora is
settled on the arm of the settee watching  :Luv:  & Pod has got closer to her for a sniff & he seems more relaxed.

I am sure it wont be long before they are all playing together    :Luv2:

And I think the assuming everything is for you is a cat thing, and not strictly limited to tortis! ;)

1st night went well, i say night i went to bed at 12.15 up at 3.30 for early start at work.

Come home today & all seems fine, they all come to greet me (except Splitz i have to go wake her up as she likes our bed)
Gave them all a fuss, and sat on settee, Flora was straight on my knee for a fuss  ;D
and has been following me to watch what im up to & she is gettin very chatty in her own little way with the squeeks when i talk to her.

and Yes beyond them big gorgeous eyes of hers im sure there is a cheeky monkey  :Luv2:

Hopefully before long i will have pics of them all playing together, as Pod this aftenoon has been talking to Flora & not the growl he has been doing  :briggin:

And she does seem to have settled very well, she's our little girl now & nobody can have her  :Luv:

I was going to say the same !!
Felt quiet ashamed lol

I have 3 who look just like her (brindle torties)

So glad she is doing ok, i really believe in the "let them get on with it" intro
I have always done it that way (got 11 at the moment and have had 16 over the years)

Lucky Flora has really fallen on her feet with You......
Hope you all have a very happy life together xxxxxxxx

Post by: **TINA** on December 23, 2008, 13:26:33 PM
Thanks for all the nice comments everyone  :briggin:

I am so relieved that they are settling so quickly, not playing with each other yet, but sniffin noses & will all be in the room & walk past each other.
(Flora struts her stuff, and she seems to now n then wiggle her chunky bum)
Maybe when their play cubes come curiosity might get the better of them.

Not heard anymore growls   ;D and even Splitz  got out of bed with me this morning & she seemed a lot more calmer.
(Splitz keeps them all in hand, even us  :-: )

Feeding time there is no fuss either, they all sit patiently. (we'll Pod is on the bench as soon as he hears his bowl)
So they are all eating as normal & using their litter aswell, as i was woried encase they held it in ( as cats do when their is a change)

Flora seems more clingy to me than Mick, but patience will pay off as he loves them all like i do  :Luv:

Its going really really well  :Luv:
She is such a little darlin, and has started to play with the toys.
I heard some clatters & looked, she had tipped the barrel of toys and was stamping n killing them, them she started running, then ass in the air, ears back
n big eyes, then attacked them again  :naughty:  think she likes cat nip

Flora the little explorer.....

She has made herself well at home now. She is always talking to me & when i sit down she's over for a fuss & on my knee.

Also today Flora & Rolo become better friends with a little game of chasey up & down the stairs  :naughty:

Update  :naughty:

Flora is gettin better by the day with my 2 boys. My queen (the oldest) accepts her being here & thats what she is like with my 2 boys.
Flora has started playing with toys a lot more, she even has the odd chasey up the stairs & hides & jumps out lol.
and today she attempted climbing the xmas tree  :naughty:

Also she is gettin more & more fond of jumping up on our laps & she's very chatty  :Luv:

The 4 of them will sit quite close toghther when they are gettin treats & there is no growls off any of them.

And its only been a week  :Luv2:
