Thanks Gill
Much better day today. They had a lot less time together and Heimdall didn't seem quite such a grumpy bear. Aelfred boxed him round both ears and he just ignored him! No yowling either today, just a couple of squeaks. (I'd squeak if I was their size compared to him). Bugsy mostly snuggles up to him if he can and Heimdall seems quite happy with that (Bugsy wants a hero cat too!). If the sun stays out for the rest of the summer then it will be ok because Heimdall will want to be outside and the kits don't know about outside yet, so everyone will be happy!

I think you have to take this very very slowly cos the resident cat is obviously well put out and he has to know that he is still loved and wanted as much or more than ever.

I am sure it will come but could take months.
 
Its taken Misa months to come to a wopping understanding with Lupin and now its like Lupin has decided Misa is his hero cat and follows him around and looks up to him literally lol

Its Misa now mostly who sticks out gentle playful paw as Lupin walks past.

Sasa the grande dame has Lupin firmly in place with a look!

Wish I did LOL

Well it was going too well. Now Heimdall has decided that the littens are too cheeky and need to be put in their place (or kicked out of his?). So he is yowling like a banshee and grabbing them by the scruff of the neck whenever he can. They screech when he does this, and then my daughter bursts in to tears. :( I think he's just annoyed that they are in all his favourite places in the rooms that they share ( he has his run and one room to himself for now, and they have another room that they are not sharing with him, so that they aren't "on guard" all the time), and wants them to go away and is just the next phase of getting to know each other but I am not sure.

When do we interfere? Or do we let it all take its course?

That is such a good description of him. I think he is trying to remember how to play as well. Even though he is only 5! Actually, it has gone much better so far than I expected.

Heimdall's so sweet - he really is a gent, isn't he?   Paddy used to watch kittens with a mixture of bewildered interest and wary disdain, but you could see a very paternal side to him.  Sounds like Heimdall is the same, bless him.   :)

Well, we have got to the stage where about half of the time all three cats are together but they need to be separated at times to let Heimdall have a rest, and at night time when we can't watch them. He would like them to be friends I think but he does not want anybody jumping on him, chasing him or bopping him. He has had to hiss a couple of times to get this point across but no raised paws so far. Anon is now officially called Aelfred (Freddie) and Bugsy is still Bugsy. Heimdall has had nice friendly sniffs with both of them but if they are being too lively he makes himself scarce. He likes sitting on his cat tree looking down on them but Bugsy in particular wants to snuggle with him and will climb up to be with him, so Heimdall will jump off, and Bugsy will think this is a chase-game.

He does have another friend, a black cat that comes and sits with him (on the other side of the fence) when he is in his run sometimes but I haven't seen them together since the kits arrived. I'd love to be a fly on the wall for the chat they have!

Yes, Heimdall would avoid trouble rather than attack it! He did come back to sleep on our bed last night for the first time in a week and they aren't even in our room yet. He is very curious about the kittens - sort of plays Grandmother's footsteps with them until his nerve breaks and then he has to leave. I think we will let them meet each other for a short while tomorrow if all stays calm.

As introductions go, it sounds very promising, and Heimdall is behaving with gentlemanly restraint.   :Luv:

Quick update - we all like Orion, and also Magni. Magni was one of Thor's sons so as a variant of Magnus I think it qualifies.
Heimdall has managed to walk slowly in front of the kits with his tail up, although he is not going near enough to get bopped again. He won't speak to any of us but he isn't hiding, and he has managed to eat two Dreamies in the same room as them. They are all asleep right now,  and I need to get some other stuff done!

we were going to call either Kalle or Kyrre, Magnus at some point!     I think it qualifies as its on my list being the name of a NFC in Norway!

This is probably of no use to you at all, but I keep coming back to the name Magnus - yes I know it's also Icelandic but somehow I can't get any other name to fit him.

Love this thread.  :)

I agree that Norse would be very good. 

Heimdall is sitting under the stairs right now, with the kitten in a big crate as they get their first prolonged view of each other. He is not impressed, every time he goes up to say hello, they bop his nose!

what sort of name are you looking for?     I'd make life difficult for myself and try and get something Norwegian/Old Norse etc for him!     Sounds as though you don't need to add that complication into the mix though!      Iskrem = Norwegian for Ice, Bergen, Oslo, or I fancy calling a cat Pyrrha for Fire [maybe stretching point here as only red patches.......]!

Look at those paws!They are huge! He is a beautiful boy. Looks like you have done a fab job with him - he looks very happy and relaxed now. And fluffy! So sad he had some bad times but it sounds like he is in the best place now.

With regard to names, we are at the stage where anything I suggest my daughter vetoes. OH has got his head down, and I want him named by bedtime. Happy to take suggestions.....

Master Svartleheim Starlight Express of Team Svartleheim and the Clan cats he belongs to 2 very special families

He came to us after his breeder was notified that he needed to be gone and as she had just had a baby needed somehwere for him to be safe so he came to the Clan cats

he arrived in a very bad way and I have the scars to prove it and he ended up at my vet 24 hours later to be shaved and my wonderful vets shaved a few places and then he became the practice tool for the trainee vet nurses whilst he was still sedated, he hates being brushed and was underweight to and using a litter box was interesteing - 9 months on he is a different cat, he still tolerates the brishing, he uses a grit box with no problems, has more cats than he knows what to do with and has 6 very special friends in my last years tamed down feral kittens Sherbet, Kali, Miami, Houston, Monty and Jaffa and he is still trying to make friends with our rescue Bengal Porsche but she only loves the other rather large boy our Rescue Ragdoll Casper :shocked:

He is a really wonderful boy ;D

Thank you everyone. They are still doing well. Poor little anon hasn't got a name of his own yet as we are all still fighting over it. I am beginning to feel bad about this.  :-[ They are getting lots of cuddles and one had your name on it Peggy!

Have you got a picture of Star Liz? I'd love to see him. And fingers crossed for you Rosella - one day, when the time is right. You won't regret it, they are wonderful cats.
