Welcome home, Nero!

[jimnyc]

I wonder if he will leave her a "present".

He''s been great with his litter box! And I bought some Genie thing this morning, where you scoop and put it in there, pull a trap door, and gone is the scent. needs changing only like once a week, so they say.

[jimnyc]

He is BEAUTIFUL!!

I love and only adopt all-black cats, so you had me at Meow.

He's definitely a little lover. I have to be careful near the bed, as he walks to the edge and just jumps onto my chest and then shoulder. He loves to wrap around your head, even if you're walking!!

Wow, you got a great cat!

Nero is a pillow thief.

The new addition to my family, 11 week old male, and he's awesome!! The friendliest little bugger in the world. Trying to get pictures but he is tearing around the house like a nut! I already introduced him to the Chihuahua, and they were sniffing noses like the loved one another, then the new little guy gave Porter a love swat, and the love was over, and Porter growled. For now we will let the kitty get acclimated.

So yes, not only am I in the dog house, probably forever, the cat isn't mine! She immediately gave the kitten to my son and said it's his cat. Then she proceeded to name him herself. I wanted to name him after a Steelers player, but couldn't think of any players I liked with cool names (Le'Veon would be weird for a cat). So of course the woman named him Nero, which is black in Italian.

I'll get a few more pics when all calms down. I have to go keep an eye on the woman, make sure she isn't poisoning my food!

Him on the bed playing with his new toys:

What color are his eyes? I have a black female that was a complete nut her first nite in my home (she was only about 6 wks old). She immediately started in attacking my female Lynx point Siamese cat, who was about 6 mos. old. They became best buds afterwards, but Minx was scared to death of that little bouncing, leaping ball of black fur!

They're like a greenish color. This ones name is Nero, but I already call him psycho. He bounces off the walls, the couches, the litter box (after he scratches litter 15 feet away from it). He doesn't understand "off" at all, as he thinks the kitchen counter belongs to him. And don't dare try and lie down without putting out a weeks worth of food, or he'll meow, purr and step on your head until you get up! Oh, and he did beat up the Chihuahua again. Weird too, as he doesn't care about the Pug. He runs right past the Pug so that he can chase down my Chihuahua. I think it's because that little idiot bounces off the walls too, is also black and has pointy ears. But they have all definitely shown me enough to know they will eventually be friends, just still in the "feeling one another out" stage.

Yep. Or a trick I learned from my vet. Coke can with two coins in it. You shake it at them when they are being bad. Animals don't like the noise. Trains them to stop doing bad things.

I also heard something about putting two-sided tape on something you don't want the cats to get on.

Animal abuser!! I actually have a small can of Evian spray. It's meant for hot days, but also gets the little bastard running away REAL fast. Eventually cats will run just at the sight of whatever has the water in it!

That's an awesome idea, never heard of that one! Reminds me of "Chucky", a parrot that my Dad had. I would take out my set of keys and jingle them and he would go berserk and want to eat me! I only did it to him when I knew he was in his cage, as that little fucker had a nasty bite of he got a hold of you!!

Tape is like kryptonite for cats! Wrap a piece around one of their paws and watch them go insane until it falls off or gets removed. And you better hope for the fall off, as if you have to pickup the little bastard while there is tape on his paw, it might get ugly!!

My female, now five yrs old, has lite green eyes indoors, but they look goldish green outside. It's weird how her eyes change color.



She was one of those no holds barred, no limits kitties too, lol.

Nero = Jim's new spoiled-ass kitten.

If you named him Barrack you'd have t kick him every morning.

I love black cats!! She's a pretty cat. I didn't consider the lighting, I'll have to check that out.

Of course I try to share my food, but the new kitty doesn't seem to care for human food, minus a small bit of my cheeseburger a few nights ago. He already has so many toys that I had to get a little carrier for them, and he's already lost his favorite toys, the little fake mice. And of course it took about 9 minutes before the woman of the house started treating him better than she does me!

9 minutes? That'd be a record for me. Fortunately, my current GF runs a rescue shelter for all strays in north NM. No shortage of cats nor dogs.

But you ain't supposed to feed them people food.

I didn't feed it to him, I just didn't do a good job of stopping him. It was just a tiny bite. Then the woman stepped in and spoiled the fun anyway, maybe because it was off of my plate, which was now on the counter.
