LET ME INTRODUCE YOU

OOOH, MAYBE I CAN SNEAK UP ON HIM.

HEY! WHERE'D YOU COME FROM?

HOW DID THIS GUY GET HIS OWN ROOM WHEN I HAVE TO SHARE?

MAYBE IF I PRETEND TO BE ASLEEP HE'LL GO AWAY

Since Tucker passed all his blood tests this week I thought it was time for him to meet some of the other cats. He was first introduced to Elliot, who lay down and allowed Tucker to swat at his tail until he became tired of the game. Tucker then decided it would be fun to chase Elliot around the room and what a sight that was.

I let Tucker meet Blooper next and they seemed to like each other right away. They touched noses then rubbed against each other. I was surprised when Blooper began licking Tucker's head and nuzzling his neck. I didn't have the camera handy so I missed that photo opportunity.

Brothers Casey and Cody were the next to meet Tucker and their reactions were as unpredictable as Blooper's. Casey ran down the hall, away from Tucker, screeching at the top of his lungs though Tucker hadn't touched him. He hid out in the kitchen for awhile but kept peeking around the corner to see if the little intruder was still running loose. Cody was the only cat that hissed at Tucker, but he didn't swat or screech. All in all, I guess it was a fairly good first meeting. No blows were landed and Tucker thinks he's king of the castle.
