I became a cat mom for time this evening

[MissHoneychurch]

A co-worker died two weeks ago and her husband isn't able to take care of the cat at the moment. So I volunteered to take care of the cat. He is a two year old Persian. His name is Ammun.

At the moment he is hiding in my bathroom.

[Blue-Jay]

1. Jesus Christ! Lookit that thing!

[MissHoneychurch]

2. He is sceered ....

just got to a totally new surrounding .....

[Blue-Jay]

29. Looks like someone tried to push his nose back through his butthole.

[cwydro]

3. Poor lil thing...

lots of TLC and maybe a saucer of milk...

but you are a good cat mom and already know that.

I think that that funnyface just got lucky...;-)

[MissHoneychurch]

4. I hope he feels home here soon

when I sit next to him he lets me pet him. He seems to be an easy going fellow.

What does TLC mean?

[cwydro]

5. Tender Loving Care

So do what you are doing and when you get a purr, you will know you're winning lol.

Personally I think you should take tomorrow off to take special care of your new tenant.

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Can't take off tomorrow

but will leave at 4pm to go home.

He purred already when I pet him.

[cwydro]

7. I'll bet he did...

:evilgrin: :P

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Mrs. cwydro

behave !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[cwydro]

9. Uh...

sorry...:blush:

And that is MS. cwydro, thank you very much!

[MissHoneychurch]

11. Yes ma'am

:7

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. no milk. they are lactose intolerant.

[MissHoneychurch]

16. There is no milk in this household

so no worries.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. lol.

enjoy the kitty. its very pretty

[cwydro]

23. Thanks Pri

I didn't know that!

I have a bunch of mutt cats in my household, while they rarely get milk, they do love it when they do.

[GreenPartyVoter]

31. We have a male that will hover like a vulture over your shoulder when you eat milk and cereal. He

will actually do it whenever you eat from a bowl now, and boy has he been surprised when he begs for milk but winds up with chili. LOL

[Call Me Wesley]

10. I'm sure you'll take great care of him.

Extra cuddles! ;)

[MissHoneychurch]

12. That I hope to do

and the extra cuddles are for sure.

[cwydro]

13. How old is he?

Take him into your bed when you go to sleep.

And NO, I am NOT being in any way suggestive, smart ass. Cats love to cuddle as you know.

[MissHoneychurch]

14. He is 4 years old

I will try to take him to bed with me tonight. Not sure he will stay with me though.

[cwydro]

28. Yes

that is an adult in cat years, but still a baby in our hearts.

Ammun is in good hands.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

17. That cat!

Is so ugly, he is adorable. Is this a temporary situation? He's in good hands with you for sure. I hope you and he get along and bond and you can keep him. But you must change his name to Mr. Tinkles and put sweaters on him in the winter.

Can't wait for more pictures!

:woohoo: :applause:

[Call Me Wesley]

18. He's not ugly.

He just doesn't photograph well and is cranky about it. :rofl:

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

19. You better shush your mouth!

I'm pretty sure he has already taken over her computer and is planning his revenge. I'm going into hiding. Nice kitty. I didn't really mean it! :scared:

[Call Me Wesley]

20. Flat face they may have,

but sharp are their nails. You're not Jedi, you're doomed.

Kind regards and pipapo,
Yoda

22. You know that was a perfect Haiku right?

Smart ass.

[cwydro]

27. totally perfect haiku...

except that I am not up to counting syllables...or anything.

Whoa, let me go get a glass of wine (whine?)

Work tomorrow, sigh.

[cwydro]

24. He is so ugly as to be cute

lmao!

[cwydro]

30. Bwahahahaha!!!

Mr Tinkles?

You are certainly trying to cheer me up.

And I am lmao!

[MissHoneychurch]

33. It is temporary

once the husband decided if he wants to keep Ammun Mr. Tinkles or not, then we decide how it continues.

He is a sweetheart. Yesterday evening he hid in my bathroom. Only when I was sitting on the floor, he felt secure enough to venture out and have a look. Tonight while I was sleeping he went to the living room. Now he is hiding behind my couch.

Once he feels more secure I will take more pics of him

[Gormy Cuss]

40. Ammun is behaving very much as would be expected for a cat in his position.

Cats need time to become comfortable in new surroundings.

Poor thing just lost both his humans, and to a cat there is no sense that either will come back until they show up. He's sizing up the new human and environs. The fact that he is already exploring beyond the bathroom is a good sign. He must have made the tentative assessment that you're friend not foe. :D

[peacefreak]

21. Miss Honeychurch,

you have a good heart. He is probably very sad & confused & missing his original cat mom. He is lucky to have you & CMW.

[MissHoneychurch]

34. Yes, he is sad and confused

I will give him the time he needs.

Uhh .... I think you confused me with Heidi, who is married to CMW ;)

[peacefreak]

39. ooppps!

we wouldn't want to get any rumors started! xxooxx

[GalleryGod]

25. A Kool Kitteh!

If anybody was right for this job, it's you,Nora!:pals:

[MissHoneychurch]

35. Thanks GalleryGod

I try my best.

[haele]

32. It looks like you might need to clean his face-

I've never had a persian, but I do know that like pugs, they can get gook in their eyes and noses- and it looks like he's getting a bit crusty there on his right eye. You might want to check online at some persian sites to see what they recommend - warm water on a damp, soft cloth at least.
Here's a couple sites I found right off-
http://www.essortment.com/all/persiancatscar_reid.htm
http://cat-care.suite101.com/article.cfm/a_guide_to_persian_cat_care)

Good luck with him, he's probably still confused and really missing his cat-mommy - they don't forget very easily.

[MissHoneychurch]

36. I cleaned his face a little bit this morning

but he wasn't too happy about that. But he lets me pick him up, so that is a good sign.

Thanks for the links, I will check them out.

My grandmother had a Persian years ago but her face wasn't as flat as Ammun's.

[Withywindle]

37. awww, what a sweetpea.

It's so good of you to take him in.


Just let him get used to his surroundings. He'll be right as rain in no time...and be open to the snugglin's, you know they're coming.

[MissHoneychurch]

38. He really is a sweetpea

very friendly towards me even though he met me for the first time yesterday. When I come to pet him he comes and purrs. :loveya:

I let him take his time to get used to me and my condo. I know in no time he will be the boss. Last night he ventured from the bathroom to the living room. This morning he was hiding behind the couch.

[snooper2]

41. cute cat but that tile has got to go

:)

[Yavin4]

42. Um, He's Not Hiding Any Where

It's his bathroom now.

[cwydro]

43. Lol!

You must be a cat person!

Hit the nail on the head.:fistbump:
