Mr Wussy Pants

As you might have guessed from my picture on top of the page, I have a cat. His name is Harley, so named because he purrs really loud. He is a mix of Maine Coon, Norwegian Forest Cat, barn cat, and I'm pretty sure a playgirl pin up as he has a tendency to lay on his back, legs spread, and just look at you. Thank God for fur.

Well, the Fiance is moving in pretty soon and with her comes two other cats. One is very similar to Harley in shape, size and demeanor, the other is kind of like an overexcited kid at Christmas....on crack. We've had a few "get together" weekends with the cats and to say the first time didn't go well is an understatement. I've never heard sounds like that. I still get a cold sweat when I think about it.

The second time went much better, but Harley didn't really "warm" to the newcomers. He refused to allow the other cats near him without growling and didn't eat, drink or use the litter box until I had him in a room alone. So I'm thinking to myself, he will either go hungry or get used to them. However, according to my sister, the vet, Harley could actually make himself sick before he eats or uses the litter box. You would think that common sense would kick in, but this is the cat that tried to roll onto his back and fell down a flight of steps. Not the brightest bulb in the pack if you know what I mean.

So now I have to do my research and figure out how to introduce cats. Like most things on the Internet there is too much information and I quickly have become bogged down. I'm liking more and more the idea my friend gave me of locking them all in a closet until only one remains. Kind of like a furry Survivor. I can even imagine setting up challenges, but I digress. I know the solution, to slowly introduce the cats into each others world, but that seems quite the hassle. Dogs are MUCH easier in this respect. They just sniff each others butt and it's done with.

My cat is a wuss, I've know this for years. And now that I've tossed this out into the river of ones and zeros I do feel a little better. Maybe this blogging stuff isn't all that bad.
