However - as [livejournal.com profile] rwday coined them, they are Gozittens. They both of them are bigger than Lili already, albiet rather lean and "poor". I'm sure in a week or so they will fill out, but bugger me - they are going to be BIG cats.

They are just perfect though - not at all timid. Obviously a little nervous for strange sights and sounds (just about everything) but are relaxing already, lying flat out on the floor and jumping up onto my lap for a cuddle (at one point both of them together).

They have been spoiled, I think, as they both know what "people food" is and any time I eat they are trying to find out what it is. I think they have the capacity for sheer naughtiness, as "lucius" (for want of a better name, the cat formerly known as Piglet) stole the chop bone off the table before I had time to remove it. *frowns*

Lili isn't particularly impressed. There is no violent aggression, but there is growling if they get to close to her and she swiped "Severus" (Popp) once as he passed. However, the brothers love each other to pieces, and will be great company for each other and for her, hopefully, once the settling in process has gone. I don't think they've ever seen stairs before and are galumphing up and down them at the moment.

Your getting the new Gozittens has been the highlight of my day! I should maybe send a picture of Weasel who is the biggest cat I've ever seen/known. He is now to big to get out of a "lsrge" cat flap and he's not fat, just big. It seems to go with that type of cat marking - "magpie" like Weasel - they're always big creatures. Poor Lili, I hope she isn't offended by them.

More Kittie spam please.........

Priceless.

I hope Lily adjusts, once she establishes that she is The Big Kahuna of felines.

fairly bloodless so far, hope it stays so! She's been alone for a while, so she's grown a bit staid in the last year. She forgets that she used to behave like them, not too long ago!

The motto for cats is, "Dignity. Always dignity."

Lucius is now following Lili around like a love-struck fool and being growled at for his troubles!

Ah yes, brings back memories from when I introduced my first 2 cats to each other. Lots os growling and accusing stares at me ("How could you do this to me?!") from the eldest one.
I left them alone for several hours ("You two sort it out!")and when coming home, I prayed that there wouldn't be a dead kitten on the floor. They became each others best friends!
It just takes some time.

they are getting there. Lili and Lucius are sniffing each other and will sit fairly close - it's Severus (surprise surprise) who's still being all grumpy - but not badly so.

How cute. I want more cats now. Four isn't enough, dammit! When I used to foster our cats were forever having to deal with having new cats around. She's doing well if all she's doing is growling and the occasional swipe. In my experience, if they're going to hate each other in the long term they'll ripping seven shades out of each other from the start. They just need to get their pecking order sorted and they'll be fine.

they are happily cohabiting at the moment - Lili is lording it as the Queen of Sheba and the others are deferential.

I think they'll all be buddies by the time I let them out.

*worries about that in advance*
