Well, my new cat is official now, he has a name. As you can see, he and Snickers don't pay much attention to each other. He's a part Lilac point Siamese with pale blue eyes, and is a typical Siamese. He follows me around like a dog, and is very vocal. He's in the process of learning manners - he chewed up a package of cat treats that were underneath the pillow on my bed, and ate them all except two.

He was very obviously someone's pet that was left behind when they moved out, showed up my doorstep and chose me as his new owner. As you can see, he's adjusted and seems to be very happy. I put Advantage on both cats, but haven't seen any fleas. One of my neighbors gave me some cat toys that he didn't want, and both cats are playing with them.

Very cute. He definitely seems to fit in with your group very well. The way he looks in those pictures, it is as if he has lived with you for years! No adjustment for that sweet baby!

It only took him a couple of days to adjust. Thanks to the spray bottle, he doesn't try to get out any more. Yes, I think there's some cougar in him, too. He walks like one, and he's a long, lanky cat. When he fills out, he'll probably be at least 18lbs or more.

He is a real beauty. His face reminds me of a puma.
