Tea? (Part 2)

[Speicher]

It had to happen, Bob needs to learn that Tasha makes the rules, once he knows his place she will most likely soften up with him.

A mediumly vocal argument started in the lounge. I was sat on the sofa and I could see what Tasha was doing. I thought if I talked to them both, in a normal voice, it might help. I quickly ran out of things to say, so I picked up the newspaper and started reading the weather forecast for the weekend to them in a very caaaallllllmmmmm voice. It seemed to help.

Let bob go to you. Dont try to force him to do something he doesn't want. Lef them get on with their arguement unless it gets physical. They will sort it out between themselves.

I have been observing the arguments in case things get out of hand. The last mediumly vocal argument (see above) ending with Bob making a slow retreat backwards out of the room, while Tasha stayed silently where she was.

This post has taken a long time to write. Bob has decided that I need supervision while I am using the computer. He is now lying calmly by my feet, as I type.

@Speicher excellent its going really well. Before you know it he may well get up onto your knee. Just let him decide.

There is a time and a place for honesty.....This thread is neither of them....Go wash your mouth out

With a nice glass of pinot
A more than suitable subsitute for tea. As is lager. And beer. And ..... boozy stuff

@Speicher Wol let them fight and have the germolene on standby they need to sort out who is boss and cats have very dirty mouths (it will be Tasha most likely) once they sort it out they will be fine. Bob most likely will not let you pick him up as he is not settled yet, he will allow you when he is ready. If you sit good and quiet and leave him to it you may find him on your lap or very near as he chooses to be near you let him come to you rather than go to him. If he is eating he is doing fine at the moment.

Yes, he is eating biskits. While I was typing the last post, he was lying by my feet. I just now made the mistake of making eye contact, and he then decided to play with my socks. When he has started scratching something, a gentle "no" from me stops him.

I was told by the CPL that he was abandonned at a Vet's with his two brothers in a box, about two weeks ago.

Ooh. The boozy stuff seems to have had an effect

Aw. Sounds like they were lucky though. Ivan and his siblings were abandoned in a box at the side of the road. He and one sister survived. Don't understand how people can do that

When the full-blown argument started, that was worrying. Oh here he is again at my feet. I should avoid eye contact as this is threatening to a cat, isn't it?

 

[welsh dragon]

Ah. I still miss my dog and cat, even after all these years

yes dont look at him.

Only if you stare at him. Looking at him and looking away is fine.
In fact it normally encourages them to come to you to see why you're ignoring them

 

[Speicher]

He is still calmly at my feet, so I will be sat here for a while I think.

You can make eye contact, but blink really slowly at him, he will like you doing that, if he blinks slowly back it means he likes you too.
