As soon as we got Clooney home we opened up his carrier and he came out immediately. He took a quick tour of the living room and then perched himself on a chair. Our kids were really good about giving him his space. Our two other cats came out to see what was happening. Bootoo was a little hesitant but Clancy stood up on his hind legs and gave Clooney kisses as to say “I’m so glad that you are here” and Clooney started to purr.I woke up around 3 a.m. and Clooney had come upstairs and was sitting in the doorway of our bedroom. He hopped up on the bed and slept with us for the rest of the night (while Clancy sat on the end of the bed and stared at him.)
When I left for work this morning, he was reclining on my bed with the mouse that you sent home in his goody bag. We plan on slowly introducing Clooney to our dogs in the next few days. He shows no signs of fear when he hears them bark so I think that is a good sign.We are in love with our new boy!
2nd update – Clooney is great! He has full run of our house but he mostly stays on the second floor. He sleeps every night on the top bunk with our son, Rylan. We introduced him to the dogs last weekend and they didn’t phase him one bit. He plays hide and go seek with our cairn terrier and he rubs against our german shepherds! He seems to like the dogs a little more than our cats. The cats all get along but he doesn’t play with them like he does with the dogs. He is loving to me if nobody else is around. I am mainly the one who feeds him but he seems to favor my husband Michael and our 9 year old son, Rylan. Clooney sleeps on top of Rylan every night! He was sleeping on his bunk bed when I left for work this morning. He spends a lot of time in the boy’s bedroom. He will tolerate our other son and daughter but he doesn’t seek them out. Our daughter’s feelings were hurt at first because she couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t want to be with her but she knows that every kitty is different and this is just Clooney’s way.
