Welcome Tang, New Beginnings Options

[Tom's Dad]

I brought Tang home fom the vet today as a "trial" - I'm still confident it will work out. The nurse showed me how to clean his ears and gave me special q-tips and the solution at no charge. The plan is that being this works out, I will take him back next weekend to get him on a plan like Theresa and a comprehensive exam. So far it's been not too bad. He took to exploring and Theresa followed at a safe distance. He's proving to be an even better hider than Theresa. I lost track of him for a while only to discover he'd wriggled his way into the AC/furnace closet. I pulled him out and better secured the door. Theresa hissed at him once when he approached while on her side, tummy exposed. Not surprising I guess. What was surprising, is that this supposedly timid boy is losing that timidity. He did actually hiss at her as she tried following him into the bathroom. It's starting to look like neither will have clear dominace but competition for my attention seems in the offing. More from him that her oddly enough; he's been following me around everywhere. Now suddenly I'M the alpha cat? Huh? How did that happen? Oh, well, I imagine Tom is looking down and having a good laugh. I forgot what a wry sense of humor that boy had. But, aside from the stray hisses when one gets too much into the others' space, there haven't been any overtly agressive incidents. I'm hoping this will start to gel and all will be OK in our little home.

Hi, Tom, thank you so much for sharing with us how you and your fur tribe are doing. Sounds like you are finding much joy in watching your precious Theresa's and Tang's antics, and I am SO O O O O happy for you. This is what your precious Sir Thomas wants for you, and I know he is grinning from ear to ear saying, "enjoy, dad - - I'm still with you, always and forever - - and thank you for giving Tang the gift of your heart, for he is a gift to you from me."

Tom, I do sincerely hope and pray that you, your precious Theresa, and your little tyke Tang will have a WONDERFUL holiday weekend. Perhaps sometime you will be able to share a picture of your furkids with us. Please know you and your fur family are in my thoughts and prayers, Tom, and will look forward to knowing how each of you are doing.

Peace and blessings,
