Pike, our newest cat, was found cold, cut and hungry under a concrete slab on the turnpike in Florida.

Let me show you a video I put together. I think it explains a lot about Pike. He is our third cat and he seems to be taking charge of the other two.

Cat Tries Bra on for Size

These guys are always finding ways to get caught up in something or find themselves in trouble again. Not only is Frankie the wrong gender, he is too young for a bra..... but he wants to try

The Bath is on the Other Cat

As I have written in the past, when Frankie comes home from his sanitary cut at the groomer, Molly treats him like an enemy. After a few days they are back to being buddies. Molly has not had a visit to the groomer since we have adopted him several years ago. We never gave him a bath at home either. She does a great job of keeping herself clean. Cats and Baths,,, there are arguments for and against on this subject. It so happens that we are split down the middle in our home. Two cats and only one goes to the groomer. To be honest, if Frankie didn't need a sanitary cut, he wouldn't be going to the groomer either. Back to what I am writing about. We decided to bring Molly to the groomer for a bath out of curiosity. We wanted to see how Frankie would react when Molly came home all dolled up and smelling like a stranger. As it turns out, Frankie was so curious, when Molly got home,  he wouldn't leave her side the entire night. He loved the new Molly and couldn't sniff her enough. Molly gave him one little hiss at one point because he couldn't get any alone time but that was the extent of it. I wonder why Frankie doesn't mind the new and different smells on Molly but Molly will not tolerate it with Frankie. Molly will hiss and smack Frankie for a few days until the old oders are back..... very interesting???

My cat has a hissy fit when ever the other one is taken out and comes back home.

        Our cats have been together for about fifteen months now. They are both indoor cats. Molly, the oldest, is from a pet rescue and we got her when she was nine months old. Frankie we have had since he was ten weeks old and he came to live with Molly about two months after we brought Molly home. The two of them get along great and it didn't take long for them to bond. The first time we had to take Frankie out of the house was when he was getting neutered. He was supposed to come home that day but there was a problem, the vet told us he bit open the incision area and needed to stay over night. The next day we picked up Frankie and he had the cone of  embarrassment on which made him very nervous. We got him home and let him out of the cage and he ran like mad, bumping into things and getting stuck because of the cone. Well I guess this freaked Molly out, Frankie not only looked different but smelled different too because of the hospital he had just spent the night in. Well Molly wanted nothing to do with Frankie and would hiss whenever he got close. Even after we took the cone off Frankie, Molly didn't want him near. This went on for a few days and we started to worry. Then, little by little, Molly started to come around until they were back to normal. 

         About a month ago, from the date of this post, we took Frankie to get a sanitary cut at the groomer. He was out of the house for about five hours. When he came home, Molly started again with the hissing and swatting and Frankie. This went on for a few days until they were back to normal and we figured it was because of the odd smell Frankie had after his bath ad cut.

          Then last week, we had to take Frankie to the vet for routine stuff. We were back in the house about three hours later. Molly started up again, she would hiss but no swatting this time. We couldn't believe it, these guys are normally best friends, they play together and sleep together no problem. It seemed to take the better part of three days for Molly to come around. Frankie will run up to her in play but Molly would hiss and walk away. They are better now but still not at the point of playing together like they used to. I'm sure that will happen soon, the past being my guide.

           We were wondering if others have had this experience. FYI, Molly is a maincoon mix and has only stayed in cages since the time she was rescued as a kitten, approx. 10 months. Frankie is a siamese. Frankie , we were told, is 100% siamese according to the back street breeder we got him from. We never got to see the Father and we were promised papers on Frankie but after two attempts, we gave up. The papers are not important to us, we are not doing anything with him that requires papers. He is just part of our family

and we love him and Molly very much.
