It’s been about 3 months since we brought Oreo into our home so I figured folks would like an update on how things are going.<\/p>\n
Overall, things are going great!\u00a0 Oreo settled in like he’d been here forever in just a few hours.\u00a0 We never went through a “hiding under the bed” phase of adjusting to a new space.\u00a0 He was comfortable hanging out with us and our other cats virtually immediately.\u00a0 He and Lilly are great friends and they play together every day.\u00a0 Oreo and Boots are still negotiating their relationship, but we are making progress.<\/p>\n
We were out of practice dealing with crazy energy here at Casa Palmer so that was a bit of an eye opener for us.\u00a0 Boots was already an adult when she came to live with us.\u00a0 Lilly was technically a kitten when we met her, but she was pregnant so most of her energy went to growing babies and not the zoomies.\u00a0 Oreo gets the zoomies all the time!\u00a0 We have put away a lot of breakable items until he calms down a little.\u00a0 Whenever that will be.\u00a0 He hasn’t slowed down one bit yet.<\/p>\n
Oreo does have his weird little quirks – most of them are pretty cute.\u00a0 #1 He rarely meows, but normally he squeaks.\u00a0 The best way to describe his sound is a large dog’s chew toy.\u00a0 \u00a0#2 He LOVES to carry toys around in his mouth, which means we occasionally find them in our bed, in our bath tub, or in the laundry hamper.\u00a0 He throws toys into his water bowl.\u00a0 I’ve read about cats doing this, but never had one that did.\u00a0 The other day he threw one in the toilet.\u00a0 It was a red toy that that damn near gave Pat a heart attack when he discovered it.\u00a0 \u00a0#3 He loves sleeping on a box of paperwork that’s been sitting in our living room for ages.\u00a0 We have all kinds of soft, cozy places for him to sleep, but no- cardboard works for him.\u00a0 #4 When he is confused about something his heads bops all over like a bobblehead. It’s adorable.<\/p>\n
Oreo LOVES the kitchen.\u00a0 I assume his foster family must have fed him in the kitchen- if anyone is in the kitchen he is right there with you.\u00a0 I suspect he got a little “people food” too- he is very interested in all kinds of food and especially loves cheese and ice cream.\u00a0 And no, they don’t upset his tummy.<\/p>\n
We didn’t weigh Oreo when we first got him and I wish we would have.\u00a0 But even without that I’m confident he had doubled in size in 3 months!\u00a0 He recently had his first trip to his new vet and he already weighs 7 lbs!\u00a0 I think he’s always going to be a slender cat, but I do wonder exactly how long he is going to get.\u00a0 I think Lilly wonders the same thing while they are wrestling- ha!<\/p>\n
It’s been a great 3 months with the little goofball.\u00a0 I’m looking forward to many happy years together. I’ve told Pat a few times he picked the right kitty for us.\u00a0 But it’s a two way street- I think Oreo picked us too.\u00a0 And I think everyone made the right decision.<\/p>\n
