Couple of things;
a) there's one on my keyboard and he thinks that this :shocking: smilie is great. He's also making it hard to type, keeps pressing "page up", but at least he's contributing to the discussions in his own way.
b) new kitten (7 weeks) came on Sunday, named her Peggie, took her to the vets today to be de-flea'd and then brought him home. :eek2: So name suggestions would be nice. 5 month old kitten is called Archie, and we all liked the name Peggie. I'm currently calling him Eddie, but I dunno about it. :chin:
c) Archie doesn't like Eddie. He goes for him, but it takes him a while to get close enough, so he's obviously wary. I wonder if it's because this is how the neighbours cats reacted to him - maybe it's learnt behaviour? In any case, any suggestions? He'll be sleeping up here tonight instead of in the kitchen where he was sleeping until the arrival of Eddie.

I got two kittens, both boys, or so we thought... until one got balls and the other didn't. Oops. And then Ninja (the one with balls...) started humping Indy, so then we had him 'done'. And i don't think i should be allowed to help you name your cat, mine are called Indy (after Indiana Jones) and the Ginger Ninja :rolleyes:
Have you spent time introducing them to each other or did you just let them in the same room together? It can take a good week or so of carefully introducing them to each other before they're accepting, and it can really upset both if you don't do it carefully.
Eddie is fine, but Archie sort of skulks around and watches, before going for Eddie if he gets too close. So I think there's curiosity, but that he's nervous as well and isn't sure how to react? He was really friendly towards the neighbours cats, but they kept hissing at him and going for him, which makes me think that this is learnt behaviour towards Eddie.
We also only had Archie castrated on Friday, but Mum got some anti pheramone thing earlier which the vets suggested might reduce the male fighting instinct.
Pictures please!
What colour is he ?
Ours are called Persia and Maya.
Here's one i've just done to keep you going
Here are my monkeys... although they were quite little then, they're bigger now (well, Ninja is twice the size of Indy...)
ETA: Hahaha, i just noticed how possessed Ninja looks in the first pic
But that aside, I have two kittens (brothers from the same litter), their other brother (also from the same litter) has come over for a playdate and they were fine. But, when i bought my sister a kitten and brought that one home they were a bit wary and defensive with him. He was a teenie little thing, same age as mine but he was the runt and was like a quarter of the size of my two. But he defended himself...he fought back and actually scared my two, in the end they were all zooming around the house together....and playing together. So give it time...
In terms of names, the black one is Captain Nemo or just Nemo (but more often than not he gets called black mamba...kill bill anyone?) and the other one (black and white) is Chico the Pirate, usually just call him Chico (or tuxedo man)
My two babies...the second pic is just after they got a hair cut
They look really pissed off
Names?
Kamov
Rommel
Hertzer
Kirov
Richthofen
Molotov
Koniev
Vatutin
Chuikov
You don't get Zhukov, as my cat is called that ^_^
That would be putting it mildly, i dont even think they know who they are anymore
ooooooooooor Mr. Good Cat
its best to have them snipped at about 6months, a lot of vets won't do it before then for safety reasons related to the anesthesia.
Oh and if you use firefox, and your page starts to scroll funny...then one of them has stood on the F7 key (and turned on caret browsing) you can turn it off by pressing F7 again.
But, I thought I'd read somewhere that it's not a good thing to give haircuts to cats, the ones with long fur need it for something... I think. :chin:
i think its their whiskers they need, to be able to balance properly and have a good sense of perception?
not 100% sure tho
All these kittens make me want one!
:shocking:
What?
They look scary!
Heehee... they do look a bit possessed.
