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. So glad to know that the AC is back up and running, and hope that it stays that way.

So o ooo o very glad you have two kitty kids sleeping with you now. What a WONDERFUL joy that is!!!! This is such good news, Tom, and I know you are enjoying this immensely. Our furkids do have a way of seeking out their "space". And I'm so o o o happy that your little Tang is becoming more confident in knowing that he has a FOREVER HOME with his FOREVER DAD and FOREVER SISTER. And your sweet precious Theresa will ALWAYS have her daddy's heart, and she knows this.

I know your precious Sir Thomas' 6 month angelversary is coming up, and I know this will be one of many mixed emotions. I hope you will know that your Sir Thomas is VERY PROUD of you, Tom, and is so o o o very thrilled that you have given little Tang a happy, loving home. But you will ALWAYS have your sweet Sir Thomas' precious Living Spirit with you in your heart and your memories, and a place in your heart that belongs only to him.

Thank you again, Tom, for sharing how things are going for you and your sweet Theresa and little Tang, and for sharing your preious Sir Thomas with us. I hope today is treating you and your fur tribe kindly, and that you and your fur kids will have a wonderful weekend. Please know each of you are in my thoughts and prayers, Tom, and look forward to knowing how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,
