Elmo - adopted

Elmo is a sweet young very active male cat.  He is an owner surrender.  He has been surrendered 2x both dealing with issues with other cats.  He tends to be bossy.  The first time he went to a home with a female cat that the owners hadn't had a long time and I wonder if she was insecure and didn't like him for those reasons.  He wants to play all the time and drove her crazy.  Second adoption - there were 2 other cats.  I'm not sure of their ages but they got to the point they were scared of him.  He would take over all of their places and even "attack" them in the litter box.  He's doing fine with my 10 yr old Pepper who puts him in her place.   He loves attention and is underfoot and follows you around and will play with anything that is loose and moves.  He's a great cat and I miss it him already.  If he doesn't get adopted soon maybe I'll keep him.   But then that is one less cat that I can help.  Meanwhile I have Moses who is a real test for Pepper or the reverse.

Feb 1, 2015  Elmo is having diarrhea problems - bummer.  Pulled from Petsmart and back at foster Mandy's home where I'm sure he is having a blast.


Jan 16, 2015 I have had Elmo for 36 hrs.  He is doing great with Pepper who has placed him in his spot by bopping him on the head.  They both shared the bed.  Pepper warns him to stay away with growls which Elmo respects.  Elmo is a confident cat who either needs a home with no other cats but someone who will play with him a lot or other cats who are as active as him or who will put him in his place.  We'll see if I have him long enough to see the objectionable behavior.  I've been bossy with him.  I started our relationship by clipping his nails and he cooperated very well even though he was wiggly.  He was up early and playing with my feet.  I'm pretty sure Pepper's night was as normal and regular as it normally is as he was on the bed this morning when I woke up.  Pepper isn't intimidated by Elmo in the least.  Elmo tried to pester Pepper while Pepper was using the litter box yesterday.  He got swatted at and today when he tried to pester Pepper - he was totally ignored.   Elmo is on a special diet - grain free as he is gassy and farty.  I haven't seen his poops yet.
