The 2 new cats are starting to really open up and feel comfortable around the house most of the time. Atlas still wants to play with them and they don't like him still. They make quite a combination. If Matt or my wife shows the cats any attention he gets very jealous and climbs up on the couch and practically lays on top of them. Sometimes my wife will put Lacy on my legs they go to bed. As as he does is in the cat seems like she's just say up jumps Atlas and uses nose to put the cat away. Is a very jealous dog and it's pretty funny. Once a cat leaves out he's gone to be with my wife.
We think Slim and Lacy are from the same parents are from different litters. Their ages are 6 months apart and they were a bonded pair that the previous owner asked that they be placed together. To us we thought that meant they'll be sleeping with their paws around each other. It is not really like that. Your bonded more like my sister and I were where she picks on him and he just takes it. We were afraid that since he was bigger and longer you would pick on her. She seems to be the dominant one though and if he tried to play with a toy that she is playing with she will smack him in the head. Most times out when she is playing with something you will come and sit by her and wait patiently, reach across her and start banning at what it is. They do sleep on the same futon in their bedroom. When I got Macy I wife accuse me of spoiling her. But now that we have these cats she has given them their own bedroom with a gate they keeps the dog out. It has a pass-through for the cats and when they are back there they and their food are safe the big mean doggie.
Neither cat is really highly and affectionate but Lacy can be a little more and Slim. Sometimes I like to be held and wants down. Lacy will come and sleep on the cat bad that is in the sunny window. Slim never stays in one place very long in the wanders around inspecting things and checking things out.. Sometimes you will look out the window but it doesn't say a very long. Is a very curious cat and very entertaining.
They seem to be getting on's Atlas but Lacy seems to be annoyed by him a lot more than slim. She is kind of a tattletale and cries even though she walks up behind him and he doesn't even know she's there. It's like she's telling on him. If he walks fire sometimes she ignores him and sometimes she has is and bats at his back leg after he is by. Slim seems to have some sort of agreement with Atlas. Some days Atlas will run and chase him trying to sniff him and he runs away. Other times he just sits there and Atlas goes around him.
Their appetites are very different also. Lacy is a little foodie and cries all the time because she ate her food already wants more. Slim leads is and doesn't complain at all about being out. We were afraid she was eating his food of my wife checked and he gets his share.
So I wish Lacy would stay on the bed even with Atlas there. She did that when he was gone hunting after Christmas and Tom took Atlas to go on to with his friend. One night they did stay up there at the same time but that only happened once. So right now they are entertaining and is nice to have activity around me that it is interesting. I don't find TV very interesting and when I read a lot and get sleepy so I have to be careful not to read too much. Lately I've been very sleepy and taking a nap in the morning so far as been rare. In might become more common, of course it's very hard to tell with MS.
I would say the cats are working out pretty well in their getting a little more comfortable around the house. Usually at night when I'm going to bed all 3 of them are in the bedroom at some point. Lacy usually come back and then cries and runs away from Atlas. Will come to the conclusion she is a drama queen. Slim is laid-back and cool. He is like the cool kid in school and when he wants to be friends with but he stayed aloof. I will let you know in the future as things progress.
