his flirtyness came home yesterday!
The vet is very happy with him, and said that he had all the nurses in there fussing over him all night!
He was very vocal in the box on the way home, but when i stick my fingers through the cage he seemed to calm down and have a little purr!!
We got him home and arranged his "new home" in the kitchen, litter box and all. He was SO scared though, and tried getting into the tumble dryer to hide. In the end i cut a "door" through a washing basket put his new bed inside and covered it with a blanket, he went in and calmed down. He has however had a run in with Louie, When Felix came out of the box we thought we would let him wonder around the flat before confining him to the kitchen. But this was a bad idea, as soon as Louie saw him he went for Felix. Felix ran to the cat flap (which was locked thank god) and started head butting it trying to get free. Louie went ballistic at him, and Joe had to separate them. Puting Louie out for his punishment and putting Felix in the kitchen hoping he wouldnt feel so scared.
The kitchen door has been left shut all evening and night, and it took me laying on the kitchen floor for an hour (tea and ciggs to hand) to calm him down and allow him to feel settled. He got there in the end. Fell asleep (as he was SO dozzy). The vet gave us some "after op" food, which he skoffed down and eventually after a couple of meows at the window Felix has a wee in the litter box!!! How sad is it that i was excited the cat had a wee!!!!
We checked up on him everyhour untill our bed time, and he stayed in his make-shift bed just peeking his head round to see hows came in. He was very loving and definately our newly named furry purry flirt lived up to his new title!!
This morning before i left for work I thought i would check on him. When i opened the kitchen door, he was out of bed, which was nice to see. Meowing away at his food bowl! So he had another pouch of "vet" food, and some biccy's. Still purry and definatley not drousy anymore!!
The vet wants to see him again tonight to check his "area"!!!!! But he is doing great.
Im not sure how was are going to cope with Louie though. He has some sort of problem with Felix and i have no idea why. Louie jumps on him straight away, and Felix is scared enough.
Any advice guys????
Joe said last night that we will try all we can to get them to get along with each other and take all the adive we can, but if Louie is going to continue being vicious to Felix, he will have to go.
i dont want this so i need all the help i can get.
Louie was a stray, A baby when he was dumped on our balcony when we lived in Dagenham. He has been with us every since. He has some nutty moments, he could be laying on your lap being a furry purry flirt! but then all of a sudden he is wrapped around your arm as if its the only food available to him! He knows this is wrong and is told off, and put outside for 15 minutes every time he does it. It was getting less and less frequent but he done it to my neighbour the other day. Our neighbour loves Louie to bits, always calls him for a cuddle when he pops over for a cuppa. And louie loves Darren too, and has never shown this bad side to him before. But bitting Darren and drawing blood was not on.
Im stuck on this one guys??
We have been told by the vet that due to being ill-treated as a baby, Louie has some hearing problems and can get easily startled, which is fine we have dealt with this for nearly 3 years. And the attacks on our friends and family are now always expected so everyone is warned! But why be like this to Felix? especially when Louie was the last fur-bie to join our family??
The last thing i want is for Felix to go away again because he is so teriffied of Louie.
