Cat introduction: Jerome and Tullamore

[lyorn]

"Serious Cat" Jerome.
Born April 23rd 2009. Hobbies: Pondering serious business, scratching on windows, falling into the bathtub, dropping plush mice into human's bed.


Tullamore "Tully" the Tabby.
Born April 23rd 2009. Hobbies: Singing to himself, scratching on doors, stealing butter, hunting pieces of string. Dislikes being touched.

The boys are very gentle and sweet-tempered and have pretty little soprano voices. They are litter-brothers and were raised at the shelter. I got them from the shelter half a year ago, where they had just spent one month in quarantaine and were a little bit damaged and scared of people. Tully has kept a strong dislike of getting touched, which is a pity, as he is the softest cat I ever had.


Two cats in a box.


ETA: I have pictures of them with their eyes open (they are harder to catch when they are awake) over at my LJ.

It was mosly a matter of time with Shadow. He spent the first month living under our spare bed because he was so scared of everyone and everything. Eventually we discovered that he liked playing with a things that were dangled at him on strings. We enticed him out into the rest of the house that way and then went through a really painful period of gently patting him on the head from time to time and letting him run away and hide.

He had to go to the vets several times during that period and we just had to grit our teeth and chase him out from under the bed and pick up our obviously very unhappy cat and put him in the cat carrier because he really needed to go to the vet for his own good. It wasn't much fun for anyone :(
