We've had the 2 new cats, Lacy and Slim, for over 2 weeks now. Lacy comes out and spent most of the morning in the living room and then disappears to the evening and my wife comes home. Slim is very shy but he started he could come out more often. My wife said that in the back room where they spend their time she beats up on him when these are too close and want the same toy. In our living room we have a table that is thin and about 4 feet long. This table is near the windows and Lacy has taken over the table. My wife bought a single padded cat bed for this table and now Lacy spends lots of time in it sleeping or looking out the window or hanging over the edge and looking around the living room.
I'm not sure if it's a problem but slim came out today and got up on the table next to her and she started hitting him until he left. They must've done this when they became a pair because she is 6 months older than him. He is bigger than her buddy lets her push him around. Neither cat is really overweight and Slim is not really skinny but he is a very long cat. He often gets up on his back legs and butt and stretches his neck out to look at things. We might need to get more than one cat bed so he has somewhere to go where she doesn't beat him up. Either the cat seems intimidated by Atlas and recovered by them they don't back up. Slim just ignores him and Atlas goes around him. Lacy waits until he started to leave after stiffing her and that she has is at him and swings her paw but I don't think he feels it.
So far neither cat is jumped up on the bed in the mornings to keep me company. After my wife goes to work Atlas come to living room so I don't see much of him. Hopefully the cats will decide to come visit me. I'm just glad for sing their antics and hope they grow to like me and maybe sleep on my lap. Sometimes my wife or son will put Lacy on my lap and she will sit there for 15 minutes or so.
The last hope shelter finally got the 2 cats that we were sort of waiting on. They are part Siamese male and they look just like the 1st cat I had. They are only a year old so I think we're better off with the 3-year-old cat's with one male and one female. The other 2 would make a great pair and I think I would've been happy with them except we found Lacy and Slim 1st. Right now Lacy as been sleeping in the cat bed or a couple of hours. We I wish I could take photos but I have to have other people do it for me. Slim is very hard to get a photo of because he is somewhat restless and never stays in the same place for very long. The other day my wife had to rescue him because he was climbing up between the headboard of our bed and the wall and couldn't quite make it to the top. She word noises and went and looked in all she could see was his head. The Christmas tree went up yesterday and so far neither cat as been a problem. Lacy went and slept underneath it for a while last night. You know how dogs mark their territory. I think at barked their territory way sleeping in it. If they sleep in it it's theirs!
