Yes the integration of these cats sharing a living space was really no big deal. So many ppl on here speaks as if it's this big sacred event to introduce two cats (especially when one is an eg). While I think there is some merit to that and that consideration does need to be made-I don't think it's as big of a deal where it needs to be down to a science lol. That's one thing I have really realized just in general with having Luca. Before I got him I was so nervous from all the fear instilled upon anyone considering one of these cats.theres so many warnings and disclaimers about getting them Yes they do have certain tendancies that require a little tolerance sometimes but those are more silly quirks than anything. Having Luca is really just like owning any other cat I've had. Sure his meow sounds like a baby dinosaur instead of what you'd expect from a cat but he walks along my computer keyboard and waits outside the bathroom(or comes in and stares) when someone is in there just like any other cat would do! The only thing I say I do differently with Luca than I have with other pets is that I spend a lot more one on one time with him without the other cat to maintain that bond between me and I; I take him for walks,take him into a room and play or cuddle(if it's during his sleepy part of the day) and have him sleep on our room with the door closed at night. I don't see why some of these cats are put to live in cages.... I think as long as you are a responsible care taker of these cats and show them love and tolerance and invest time then there really isn't too much else different that you have to do with these cats than any other cat. Yes the socialization process is very crucial in the beginning but it also is with any cat!!!
lol I'll probably get a few nay sayers in response to this post so I will say that I realize every situation is different as no two cats are the same and that some get more wild genes than domestic ones. But it would be nice for ppl not to condem these cats as "specialized" pets or difficult to live with.
That said, Luca is about to enter sexual maturity over the next few months so maybe I will be singing a different tune in the next little while
Anyways, I digress. The real reason for my posting here today is that I took another cute video of Luca and Avi hanging out (aka Luca being a pain while all Avi wants to do is relax on the table on top of all my paper work lol)
