Thread: Maya comes home in....

Oh Tequila you & Whiskers are going to make a very striking couple,looking forward to seeing photos of you together....xxx

Maya has been home for 48 hours.

It was a long trip for her but she is home. During the drive home, she slept cradled in my dh arm and letting out a squeek once in awhile.

How do I describe her? She's swet, cuddly, very expressive, quick, playful, take charge kinda gal and is a menace when she wants to be. I think that sums it up.

When we got her home, we left her in the crate. The entire time she was being very vocal of not wanting to be in the crate. Tequila got acquinted with her. When we finally let her out, she wandered around the house while talking. It was cute. She found my dh in the bedroom and what does he do? He puts her on the bed and there she stayed for an hour just playing and rolling around.
She found all the toys easily. She must have played with every single toy of Tequilas. All he did was watch her play. I am pretty sure he was thinking why is that thing playing with my toys.
After watching her, I think he was fed up and chased her. Yup, he pounced on her, gave her the neck nibble and when she squeeked, he'd let her go. Then in turn she would chase him. She then would go under the bed and hide behind the bedskirt. When she saw him being near, she would bat at him with her paw.

I took Tequila away for an hour or so just to give him one on one time with me. But when Maya was left alone, she would call for us until we answered her. What a baby.

This morning Maya went into the litterbow and Tequila followed behind her. I assumed the worse as in he's going to pounce on her. But instead, he sat and waited for her to finish then he went in and did his business. Such good manners from him. No reciprication from her. She just jumps right in when he's doing his business. Glad that she doesn't freak him out and he doesn't run scared mid poop or mid stream. I can just see poop all over the walls.LOL!!

We're a little over protective of her as Tequila has got a considerable amount of size on her. So, we have to supervise their play time. She's one tough cookie. She was playing on the cat tree and rolled off one of the platforms. Well, it scared the crap out of me thinking she'd hurt herself, after inspecting her little body as she tries to wiggle out of my hold, she got back up onto the platform and started playing again. Well, now I've got our sofa cushions on the floor to cushion her fall if it happens again.

I don't think she and Tequila are at the BFF level yet. They sleep very close to each other and I have seen him lick her ear before they slept so I think it's a matter of time, I hope.

Here are a few photos of her and of them two together.

What wonderful pictures & I just luv no2 little & large at the feeding bowls,it seems as if they have already cracked the friendship problem & from day one you can enjoy them both,she is sooo pretty & can only continue to wrap Tequila round her little paw....x

Congratulations on your beautiful new kitten and thanks for posting lovely pictures. They are both adorable!

As for the introductions, well it sounds like they have gone brilliantly! Already they are sharing, playing and sleeping near each other. You are very lucky Tequila has been so accepting. They are going to be the best of friends! Keep those pictures coming x

They are both absolutely beautiful! Sounds like they are going to best of mates very soon

I so want them to be best mates. It makes my heart melts when Tequila watches over her or they're sleeping within inches each other. They seems to have the same playing and sleeping patterns.

I had watched Maya in the litter box yesterday. I don't know if it is normal but she was laying in the litter for a few moments, then she would start digging, then lay down again then get up and dig then have her poop. I just found that unusual. My dh says they would sometimes do that. I don't want her to be laying in the box. It's gross. She had a semi runny poop, it got on her hiind legs. Ya think I can get her to sit still so I can clean her? Nope. I ended up with poop on my shirt.

She's got a little irritation on her little bum. I think her bum glands are swollen. I've got a appointment for her introduction to the nice vet on Tuesday. Hopefully we can get that sorted out. Just a paranoid mommy.
