Evan hasn’t been feeling great lately; on Monday, he was running a fever at day care, and there was a bit of a scramble because that’s one of the days that I go to work fairly early. The doctor said he had the flu, and of course even a solitary sneeze is treated as H1N1 these days, so it was Tamiflu time…and Evan had to stay home the whole week, which made my work schedule interesting. Fortunately, he’s got a new friend to help keep him company while he gets to feeling better.<\/p>\n

\"Evan <\/p>\n

The new kitty is trying to settle in nicely; as expected, Oberon is the first cat to give the new kitty a break. They actually have a lot in common – we now have two stray cats and one humane society cat. The social class division is pretty obvious: Olivia, the humane society cat, still won’t have anything to do with the little black cat. Obi wants his territory respected, but other than that he’s accepting the new guy.<\/p>\n

But it’s not all smooth sailing. When we got up this morning, it was pretty obvious that the new kitty had been in the kitchen… he’d broken into a loaf of bread and nibbled on it, and knocked some other stuff off the kitchen counter. This isn’t acceptable cat behavior, but (A) we’re on day 2 here, and (2) I think this is a testament to what kind of life this cat has lived. He’s probably dug through a few trash cans to survive. But he still has a very sweet nature, seeking approval and attention from us, so there’s still hope. He’s not completely feral; he’ll learn.<\/p>\n

His first vet visit for shots and tests went well; if anything, Evan was more of a problem during that visit than the cat was! \ud83d\ude06 The kitty is free of disease, and got his first round of shots. He’s a bit on the skinny side, but Oberon is proof that we’ll take care of that. (Come to think of it, Evan is proof of that too.)<\/p>\n

Now we just need a name…<\/p>\n
