"I wanted to give you an update on Koi...or as we affectionately call him, Koi boy! Alondra brought him (along with miss kimi) over on Friday night. Immediately he jumped up on me and was purring...he gave me lots of love and enjoyed his new kitty room. We decked it out with kitty toys, a cat condo (Esther was so nice to let him borrow it) and other goodies for him (I even built a little maze box like you had at your house) including a new kitty bed and kitty blanket. Daniel got to meet him that night and as suspected, they bonded to each other! In fact, Daniel slept with him on Friday night! The weekend went well. Esther is very curious about him and we have kept them separate and probably will till he gets a little bigger. She has hissed at him a few times when he came running up to the gate wanting to meet her. She watches him play and seems fascinated with the little guy. I think he is so quick and gets his kitten moments that she gets startled. But she has her tale up and there hasn't been any change to her which is good. She is adjusting and I think after a weeks time, she will understand that he is here to stay. Koi is quite entertaining to watch. He goes full force running and playing for about an hour and then crashes. He loves to cuddle and requires that when he naps, its on one of our laps, tucked in his blanket or next to his stuffed animals. He has been great about eating and drinking. I see he has a routine. He eats and drinks when he gets up and then goes potty. He cries and whines a little bit when he goes pee and poop. I am not sure if he is constipated but his poopies are a pretty good size and solid. I am taking him to our vet for a wellness exam tomorrow just to make sure everything is as it should be. We are so totally in love with Koi. He has only been with us a weekend and we are already so attached. I presume the next few weeks will go smoother as things become a new "normal" in our home with the new guy so I will keep you posted with his progress." --Tristina (6/27/11)
