Seems as smooth as you could hope for. No hissing and spitting. Well done Drum and Bruce. :Luv2:

He's just had another wander downstairs and they both took up the same positions as last night. I even left them alone while I hung out the washing but they didn't move.

I'm cautiously optimistic - they don't seem to be bothered by each other. (Drum looks at him as if she's not quite sure what he is!)

We let him wander about the house last night and he met his new sister, which went a lot better than I thought it would. They just stared at each other across the room, then Drum went back to her bed and Bruce flopped on the floor and lay there looking at her from several feet away. Neither seemed stressed, and Drum eventually turned her back on him and went to sleep.

When he went back to his room, she came over and sniffed the floor where he'd been lying. I'm trying hard not to humanise her but she really did look a bit peed off!

Lukk - if'n he wants to use it as a chin-rest, that's up to him.  Looks to me like he's just laying claim to it:  "S'mine."   ;) :evillaugh:

Glad to hear he's feeling better this morning, bless him.   :)

Yes, he's much better today, thanks. It was my fault, I tried him on some good quality food when he'd been used to Felix, he's back on Felix now and ravenous.
But I don't think he understands how to use a Kicker;

Not sure of his early years, Dawn. He was rehomed by Foal Farm ages ago but started peeing inappropriately and was returned in March. The only peeing problem he had once he was back at Foal was missing the litter tray a bit, which might be down to balance issues. So far he's been okay with us - although it's early days. If he starts again I'll do my best to find out the cause.


Poor lad had a bit of an upset tummy this morning - probably stress and strange food.

Bruce says thanks for all the welcomes.
He survived his first night okay. He's been using his litter tray properly (apparently he had some issues with peeing outside the box, so we got him a big corner one which is supposed to be easier for him to turn around in). He's found a favourite spot on the cat tree already, and I've discovered he's very playful - and fast!
He's REALLY difficult to photograph, though, because he just won't stay still long enough, plus being black it's hard to get any contrast, but here's one of his lovely face - he looks a bit worried but he's fine.

After our sweet little Bass went to the Bridge at the end of June, OH and I felt there was a cat-shaped hole - in fact, a ninja-shaped hole - in our lives, so today we brought home Bruce. He's a lovely, friendly nine-year old boy and - as you can probably see from the photo - a tripod.

He'll be in the spare room for a few days, and then it's a controlled introduction to our bonkers 17-year old tabby. She's not used to cats, and didn't even like her sister, so it could be interesting.
Here's the new boy:
