For the good of the Troop

[rolanni]

So, we wandered down to our neighboring lovely state of New Hampster, where we were interviewed by Trooper, Nate, and Missy, Rita, Kelly, and Kim.  They decided that they would allow us to bring Trooper home, so we did that.

This is Trooper:

Trooper exploring office

He's looking up at Mozart, who was cursing at him from on top of the file cabinet.  Mozart's not usually a curser, and the high, squeaky voice does lend a certain. . .piquancy.  Still, he got his point across.  Trooper's voice is kind of a mellow honking sound -- very charming.  Mozart was. . .nonplussed, but did not descend from the file cabinet.

Here's Mozart on top of the file cabinet:

Here's another picture of Trooper, who really likes my blue oriental rug:

Right now, relative peace reigns.  Trooper is on the copilot's chair and Mozart remains on the file cabinet, but has decided to ignore the fact that there is Another Cat in the room.

In a strange reversal of roles, Scrabble is perfectly OK with the fact that there is a Third! Cat! in the house, and has allowed Trooper to pass her several times, unmolested and uncommented-upon.

I'm hoping the drama will be well in the past by tomorrow this time.  I've never known Mozart to hold a grudge even half that long.

Pretty boy! I hope he brings you much joy and enjoys a long, healthy life. Mozart does look supremely pissed. :)

Such a pretty boy! I hope all works out quickly.

Best wishes to the new clan member and to all at the Cat Farm. He's a mighty handsome fellow.

Trooper is a very handsome boy. Boomer lifts his paw in regard.

(Pandora is currently Not At Home to Visitors, or she would send her regards as well)

I hope peace (or at least a stalemate) is achieved soon with Mozart, and that Trooper neatly steps into the role of copilot.

He looks lovely. I hope he came from a different home than Socks, of lamented memory! And I wish him a long life and you much joy of him.

It takes a while for everybody to hiss and make up. Males are much more territorial than females, especially when there's a female in the territory, and even though they are not technically males and females any more. As for the squeaky voice, I have one that's built like a linebacker and has a voice like Truman Capote. He must weigh 20 lbs, and has this little tiny voice. I hope Trooper has a long and happy life at the CF&CF.

Handsome kitty!

Best wishes to all. Poor Mozart's probably hot as well as cranky.

A handsome boy indeed! Welcome, Trooper! :)

He's lovely! I hope he brings you years of love and companionship.

I can't help but think that you should call him Beautiful, like Nelirikk Explorer's nickname.

Trooper is beautiful! Congratulations on the new addition!

Change is rough on Elders. Lupe knows about adding new cats to the fold: she's 17 now, and it took months for her to warm up to the Mayor.
The Mayor (fluffy medium hair) and Lupe (antique yellow and cream tabby) opine that Mozart needs quiet, a few days to mull things over, and *perhaps* some lap time in a room with a door closed against Trooper? Just to reassure him? Ellie (very small Jellicle) would like to rub up against Trooper and make him feel welcome, even if he is several times her size. She practices her Big Guy welcome daily on a pair of hundred pound black Labs.

Best wishes re the proof work.

Sam Tim and Alexander will sit on either side of you while you read that stack of pages. They know about these things.

Ooooo! He looks like a very nice boy ----- hope Mozart decides Trooper is okay soon!

hopefully Mozart will adjust sooner rather than later. We're going thru the same sort of problems with a new kitten coming home in a few days....
