some pics of Nico - KFW
Here are a few pics of Nico, our new kitten.
http://tinyurl.com/66puj Mostly of him snoozing in the living room chair, as he's too fast for me to get a pic of him otherwise. I'm really amazed, as is DH, at how fast Laku and Nico seem to learn to get along. After all, they met for the very first time on Monday, so now they've known each other for just three days. And it's been mostly Laku doing the learning, as Nico seems to take it in his stride. The first evening when we brought Nico (then still without a name) home, we let him stay in the carrier for a couple of hours so that Laku could sniff at the carrier without having the kitten "in his face". But when Laku realized there was someone inside the carrier, he jumped and bolted off. We found him hiding under our desk. Poor baby. We let Nico out of the carrier, showed him the litter box and where his food was. He immediately started to investigate the apartment. If he happened to come "too close" to Laku, Laku hissed at him and bolted off again. And whenever Laku shifted positions, he walked in a low crouch, slinking about the place by stealth. During the night there was a series of Nico "yodeling", indecision of where to sleep, wandering over DH and me as if we were some mountainous region etc. so that night was *not* calm or peaceful. From the very first day, Nico tried to establish contact with Laku, but Laku wasn't ready for it. Nico seems to be an easygoing little chap, open to new friendships, if only the object of the new friendship agrees... During Tuesday and Wednesday Laku was apparently getting more and more used to the idea of the "little grey one". He was hissing less already on Tuesday, can't remember him hissing at all on Wednesday. And they even seemed to "talk" to each other yesterday, without anything that sounded like cursing, mind you. Laku was also calm enough yesterday to be able to sleep in the same room with Nico, Laku was on one living room chair and Nico on the other with only a coffee table and about a couple of metres distance between them. Laku has also followed Nico to the litterbox in the bathroom, waited for Nico to do his business, watched Nico scratch around to cover it up and then gone to the litterbox himself to cover it up some more. LOL Today Laku has almost been his old self, chatting with us, headbutting and purring. Only slightly and occasionally jumpy when Nico passes close by. I even saw Nico pass by Laku so close their sides touched and Laku just seemed to open his eyes all wide, no bolting off, no cussing. Now I'm only wondering and waiting how long it will take for Laku and Nico to sleep in the bed with us or wash each other... -- Christine in Vantaa, Finland christal63 (at) yahoo (dot) com photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 |

He has oooonnee little white foot How adorable! He actually has some white (the front of two toes) on his left front paw too. I figure it is purely for educational purposes, but you'd have to speak Finnish or Swedish to understand why. Left is 'vasen' in Finnish and 'vänster' in Swedish, and white is 'valkoinen' / 'vit'. So if the paw has white on it, it's the left one as the v's coincide there; vasen - valkoinen, vänster - vit... -- Christine in Vantaa, Finland christal63 (at) yahoo (dot) com photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 |
