Adoption Tails: Fern, Jupiter and Venus

  Fern

1 day: Fern is doing really well. Eating, drinking and use her litter tray, and playing. She only hid for a short while, then explored her room. she was a bit agitated last night, but seems very calm today. The owner just had a big cuddle on the bed... Fern came to her for it. She is very keen to explore outside her room but the owner is keeping her in for the weekend at least. They are likely to change her name to Missy but their 7 year old is being indecisive about it.

1 week: Fern has been renamed Missy. She's settling in really well. Now has full run of the house after 1.5 weeks. Transitioned well out of the one room. Very affectionate. Missy has a bit of a bad habit of climbing on bench tops though. Loves her zoomies. She seems to not be interested in wet food much at all but eats plenty of dry food and drinks plenty of water. The owner loves her to bits but unfortunately her daughter is having a hard time adjusting to having a cat. An innate fear has been hard to overcome. They are working on it and will update on it.

1 month: no response. [We hope that no news is good news].

Jupiter

1 day: Jupiter is settling very well in the study, being very playful and much adored by the family. He has not eaten very much and has had diarrhoea but behaviourally, he is very active.

1 week: Jupiter is hunting in the jungle that is the owner's desk. He is eating well, getting bolder and no runs.

Jupiter 1 week

1 month: No response. [Ditto]

Venus

1 day

1 day: The owner and her mother have renamed Venus to Bowie after the name Atticus not sticking in the mother's mind. Bowie is eating and peeing but not pooping yet. He slept on the couch last night and is getting used to new surroundings and new smells. He began talking to the owners today. His chirps are a breath of fresh air!

1 week: This morning the owner woke up with Bowie resting his head on her pillow, lying beside her. He has spent the last 3 nights in bed with her! He loves playing with his catnip filled fishing rod and red-light mouse.

1 month: Bowie completely saved the owner and her mother. The two were very depressed before he came into their lives. He has put on some weight since recovering from the flu and loves to sleep with the owner on the bed all night. He allows the owner to wipe his crusty eyes when he had the flu and loves all the affection he is receiving.
