For the last 25 years we've only had one or two - two, one for each of us, until my husband's cat had to be put to sleep years ago. This past year, since my cat disappeared, was the first time in nearly fifty years I have not had a cat in my life.
Kittiboi is really happy here. In just a few hours, he has learned his way around, figured out the cat water fountain, and learned that when I make a "tsch" noise I am looking for him. He is very quite with avery, very subdued, meow. What a difference from my tabby point Siamese who talked all the time! He's only been getting crunchies, but he seems to know that a refrigerator might hold better treats. I'm not sure if I will feed him any canned food. I may just get soft treats and use them to train him.
Next step is to see how he is with letting me handle his paws and if I can brush his teeth. None of my other cats ever allowed either of those, but I want to upgrade my cat care.
ooops - had to take a break. Kittiboi wanted some attention, so he got pets and then introduced to the bed. He approves of a nice bed with floofy blankets. He definitely will want to sleep there with us- at least I hope he will share.
