Rather than flood the board with thread after thread about Miko, Catman has decided to keep all news about her in this one thread. He also promises that while the news will on the whole be rather mundane, he will refrain from such news items as these: - Does she use the litter box? (yes)
- Does she like the same food Andrew likes? (yes)
- Does she like the same treats Andrew likes? (yes)
- Does she like catnip? (yes)
- Does she like watching golf? (unknown)
So watch this thread for tales of Miko's journey as she joins the Cat family.
Oh, and she is indeed a tortie even though on her rabies certificate she's listed as a calico.

She seems to have settled herself in quite well.

Definitely looks like she feels at home. Does Andrew get along with her?

Oh, she's just lovely, Catman, and she looks very content already. She is a dilute Tortie, but if there is the tiniest patch of white hairs somewhere, technically she is a Calico. Just watch out for 'torti-tude', lol, Torties are very p a r t i c u l a r about some things! They have opinions!
My cats are my family; they are the best companions ever! I do have a dog, two goats and a lagomorph - he does okay with the cats, mostly. But I can't imagine life without cats.

My cat's never gave a shit where they slept, as long as I didn't disturb them, somehow they measured my arm's length as a safe distance..

Miko had quite an eventful day.
To begin, she had a visit with her vet. She received a clean bill of health and her identification chip.
When she got home, she stayed in her carrier for a while, and Andrew came up to say hello. Miko was not impressed and gave him quite a hissing. Andrew seemed unfazed.
After resting in her room for the afternoon, Miko came out to explore the upstairs while Andrew rested in the bedroom. At first, she was a nervous, but after an hour, she seemed relaxed and even purred a bit. Catwoman was thrilled to see Miko out and about, since she has not been able to visit her since Miko came home on Wednesday.
When it came time for her to go back to her room, Miko came downstairs with just a minimal amount of coaxing. She settled in and is ready for more relaxing.

Nice to read that things are going well with your new family member.
Long may it remain so.

Andrew is a weak name for a cat Maybe he looks like an Andrew. I had a cat named Bob. The last three cats in our family were a ginger named Rassilon, a huge black female with massive claws called Rani and another ginger stray who showed up called Ginger Megs.
However, it's been nearly 30 years since the last one passed.

Were the massive claws extra toes? I had had a couple cats with those.

A friend of mine had her as a tiny kitten and couldn't decide whether to call her Satan or Squeezer. Once he abandoned her at our place, she became Rani.
In southeast Asia, it's a Hindu or Sanskrit feminine given name, which means "duchess," "queen", or "sovereign". The Rani was also a renegade Time Lady in DOCTOR WHO.

Enjoying meeting the lovely Miko visually and reading about her! It's like she's our cat as well. Would you consider posting an image of Andrew and Zander? Reading about them, I feel I know them but wonder what they look like ! Really glad that you went the adoption of a shelter cat route ! Her expression in the photo : OH NO, Catman, not another photo! I'm too tired ! Have had a busy day ! Lemme sleeeeeep !

Nice family of cats. You should feel privileged that they have allowed you to live there with them over the years. Catman
