Update on our Third Cat:  Jill

Dougy,Jill & jack

As some of you know our household consists of Dougy, Jack & Jill, our three Cats.  Dougy came from the Lange Foundation and Jack knocked on our Patio Door and insisted that we let him in. Jill was the latest addition from the Lange Foundation as well. Needless to say we went thru some Cat relationship dynamics.  Those of you, who have cats, know what I am referring to. Specifically, that the dynamics change when a cat is added to the house hold or if one goes to Rainbow Bridge.

jack & Jill and Dougy

Not trying to bore you with the details.  When Jill was incorporated into our household, Jack got along with her instantaneously. Dougy on the other hand kept hissing, growling and was basically not in favor of the new addition to the house hold.

The Tree Muskateers resting

As a Realtor who works out of the home, mostly on the Internet and on the phone outside of showing properties and checking out listings, I had the distinct privilege of watching how these three were trying to work out their issues. Little help from me, Diane and “Mr. Water Squirt bottle” the task was moving right along.

Now best friends

As you can see from the pictures looks like the adjustment has been made. Anyway what is the saying a Picture is worth a thousand…..

Endre, I am having the same issue with my guys.

  I have 2 former strays, "Mr. Henry" the Black Cat, and "Happy Cat" the Tortoise Shell.

  A new Gray Tabby is trying to make a home with us... but Happy Cat, who is usually a nice guy, will often fight this new cat to the death.  Other times, they just stare each other down from 20 feet apart in the front yard.

  Wife and I are moving next week - we are going to take the New Gray Cat with us (after he visits the Veterinarian) ...  maybe the change of territory will force them to bond with each other.

Endre, I'm glad they're getting along.  Love "Mr Squirt Bottle".  He was always such a great addition when then I had cats.  Good job for adopting them from the shelter.

Fred patience is what you need, some times it takes months and other times it never works they will not be best friends but they will tolerate each other. Good luck and stay in touch about the progress. I look at it as one of my challenging Escrows:)))

This is so funny and cute.  Each cat definitely has his or her own personality.  I have 2, and they are brother and sister, so they really get along.  I love watching the 2 of them interact - whether it's cuddle up time snuggled together or whether they are playing one of thier games.  They still haven't explained the rules to me yet for these games, so I can play, too.

We don't own any pets, but I have families that do have multiple cats, and certain when there is a one visiting pet in the house, the dynamic and personalities can be very fun to watch. Glad to know there is harmony in your household with all the cats!

Cats are such wonderful, odd creatures, Endre. They basicially are solo creatures but can really learn to love each other. They also mourn when one dies. Love the pictures.

Debbe, they are lot of fun to watch as they interact with each other as well as with us. Diane plays and feeds them early in the morning, I play with them at night and daytime they have to sleep so I can work:))

Yes they were captured at the right moment via the Lense. Than there are days when "Mr Squirt bottle" needs to be refilled to keep harmony:)))
