Iminavest Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Having been given up by his previous family in favour of children, a wild choice! Rafi has been in his new home for a couple of days now. Naturally he's spent a lot of time wandering and rubbing on everything and some chill time hiding away in his room. Seems to be settling in pretty well so far and even came to sit on my lap earlier after I shared some of my steak! Has settled down next to me to watch the football. Just a really chilled wee dude! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iminavest Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 After a week and a half, Rafi seems to be enjoying his new home. After a few days I've slowly introduced him to new rooms. He now knows where in the kitchen the food is kept and is partial to a cuddle in bed before breakfast. Took him down to the vet for a free 'rehoming check up' with everything being fine other than being a tad beefy at 7kg! Will hopefully manage to shift some of that once he's outside exploring, which he seems desperate to do. Love the wee guy already. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep clear of the coloured part in the centre of the claw and you'll be fine. Go slow and gentle, and if they start yelling then you've gone too deep.

(there's bound to be a cat Kenneth Williams picture somewhere on the interwebs) Edit: Stable Diffusion gave me these: Reveal hidden contents If he’s an outdoor cat at all, minor trims of the sharpest ends are all that’s needed. If he’s indoor only, a little more trimming is needed. Slow and steady, with a little at a time being a good learning practice. Hopefully he’ll let you do it with a good cattitude, but if he’s a fighter, it may seem cruel, but a large towel over the head and wrapping the body gently is useful. Keep the head covered and only let one limb at a time out. Start with the front claws, so if he gets too stressed you can let him go with the most necessary work already done. The head/eye covering calms them somewhat. Mine just lies back resignedly and lets me go to town, but he’s had it done for 15+ years now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
