Hoss does not enjoy being held. He's just not real happy in the photo with Daniel. He went to the vet today as Petey had an appointment (he has worms (I told Petey to stop eating those squirrels!!!) and an infected tooth), and he needed to be checked as well. Come Saturday we'll have had Hoss for 3 weeks. When he was weighed today he tipped the scales at 17 lbs, 13 oz!!!! And he's lost some weight!!! Petey was 11 lbs when I took him to the vet about 3 months ago, he's up to 14lbs, 2 oz!
Hoss and Petey have settled into a comfortable routine for them. They don't fight much anymore. They play some, Petey has first dibs on the can of cat food in the morning and Hoss cleans out the bowl when Petey's done! They enjoy sunning themselves on the dining room table in the late afternoon while watching the squirrels & birds eating from the feeders. If we need to find Hoss we can ALWAYS find him in the linen closet in the bathroom piled up on the clean towels! Though I bought a latch today so he will have to find a new place to sleep.
Hoss really seems to love Daniel. He will continually go in Daniel's room if he's in there and want petted. Though if Daniel picks him up, it's all over! Hoss likes pets and loving, but on his terms only! The above picture is the one and only time Hoss has laid on the couch and first time Petey laid near him. I know they are going to be good friends after they settle in together and have more time get used to each other. Petey is alot happier now that he has a buddy & Hoss has a forever home.
*****NOTE*****
A good friend of mine lost her beloved kitty to kidney failure. M-C was there when Radar was born and she still has Radar's momma. I know they will miss him alot. I am so sorry you lost Radar M-C, I know how hard it is to have to take a furbaby in. Be comforted that he's at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for you. He was a sweet boy and will be missed. {{{Big Hugs}}}
