Spike
Meet Spike. He’s the latest member of my home, a very pretty 6 year old black male cat from the lovely man over at www.citycatshelter.com.
He arrived very scared and wide eyed on Thursday, spent most of the day under the sofa before he came out a bit in the evening. He spent the whole of Thursday night hiding in a cupboard and then the whole of Friday (home alone), sitting on the kitchen draining board. I set up a web cam in the kitchen so I could watch him from work - he pretty much stayed there all day.
Then, last night he spent the night running around the house in the dark, over excited and giving me a bad nights sleep. It’s worth it though. He’s a very friendly cat with a nice purr.
Today he had a little photo shoot and I thought I’d share it with the world…

mum says:
he looks a character with hidden depths,he may be trouble,as he doesn’t OPEN his eyes with wonder he seems to hold his eyes slightly closed as if he was assessing the situation.
reduce the protein in his diet[same principal as if you give oats to horses they are more energetic,without they calm down]i know it is all new and he will take time to settle but keep his home quiet and calm to make him settle at night.RESCUE REMEDY calms dogs down,don’t know if it works on cats.getting to a routine should help as it reassures animals
