New Cat Update

[mstakenidentity]

Puck seems to be doing ok. We've still got him separated from Loki when were not home, just in case. Loki went for Puck's throat last night, I think it was in play, but still, not pleasant for Puck. Puck is still a bit freaked by this whole new-place, new-people, new-cat thing.
Loki, on the other hand, thinks we've got him a wonderful new toy that makes noise and moves of it's own accord and can chase him as well as the other way round, and spent a good hour this morning (from 4am-5am, grr!) trying to get the study door open by throwing himself at it and clawing underneath it. He can't understand why we'd put his toy in a room he can't get into.

I'm tired.

Loki was very obviously bored during the day when we weren't around, and was doing destructive things to get attention when we were, which made us think another cat might be a good idea. If Jack isn't really obviously bored he's probably fine (Loki would jump up as soon as one of us got home and follow us mewing, and usually he wouldn't be hungry, just lonely) I think Loki needed to be alone for a while to learn to be tame around humans, but he knows that now, so having a playmate makes sense.

Besides, this means it's two cats, two people. I doubt I'd be able to afford to look after both of them on my own, and I figure you'd be in a similar financial position to me.

I'd be able to look after two until something went wrong. ;) I think Jack is less bored because he's outside during the day and in at night. It keeps him occupied. Besides, Scott is there 24/7, which keeps him company, too.
