susandennisMy friend, Frank, first met Biggie when Biggie was the size and age that Julio is today. They do not see each other often but they both love it when they do. And today was one of those days. Biggie was so glad to see Frank. He was very cute about it and stuck to Frank like glue.
I unzipped the top of Julio's lounge and let him roam around unlidded for a while. I picked him up but clearly he was more interested in being in his house. I did weigh him. He's 2.84 pounds*. (He was 2.94 pounds at the Humane Society.) And then I set him back into the lounge.
Biggie decided he wanted to see the lounge so he trotted over and stuck his head in. Frank kept a close watch as did I. Soon, however, Biggie was all the way in and nosing around. Julio was in his whale watching. I didn't get a lot of pictures because I was trying to stay ready to intervene if necessary but I did snap Julio's face... he was not really concerned.
Biggie gave everything a thorough going over. There was some nose to nose action. Biggie ate Julio's food. And then, after his House Hunters-like tour, he left. No hissing, no swatting, no stress. Just one cat checking out the crib of another cat Ya know, like they do.
And the First Meeting Drama was done. Easy peasy. Now they are both sleeping off their excitement.
Oh and before he left, Frank helped me fix the screen door. It's now working again!!
I think I'll leave the lounge unzipped for the most part. I'll zip it up when I go to sleep and if I leave the house but, clearly, they know how to behave.
*My scale weighed Julio at 45.5 oz. But my senior brain could not make that into pounds/ounces correctly. Frank kindly and patiently watched me get it wrong and then helped me get it right. But, yikes! I majored in math. It was a BA but still. There was a time when I could do arithmetic. Now I cannot even operate a calculator. Good thing I'm georgous.
