Here he is... 10/19 '15
He's getting settled in awful quick.
Not that it was easy. The minute we pulled out of the parking lot, he took a dump in the carrier. He carefully turned around, folded his towel over the evidence, and meowed the whole way home.
If one of us is in the room with him, he's snuggly and purrs a lot. If we're both in there with him, he's curious and playful.
Squeaky busted in at one point. She headed straight for the food bowl. We told her not to touch it. Squeaky looked at us like, "oh, this bowl? This one right here?"
The cat waited, sniffed Squeaky's back legs, waited for Squeaky to look at him, and then EXPLODED into a whirlwind of claws and snarling. Squeaky ran toward the door. The cat hopped onto the chair, and back onto Squeaky, who cringed and whimpered in the corner. The cat circled around to block the door. We threw a blanket over the cat, and hustled the dog out the door. She refused to leave the room until Vince went into the hallway with her.
"I haven't bitch-slapped a dog in a long time, but that doesn't mean I forget how."
Anyway. It's going to be hard to get these two to peacefully co-exist, but this guy's so snuggly it's worth it.
Also bitey. Very very bitey.
P.S.: Jury's still out on the name. His personality suggests Thrym, King of Jotunheim, but Vince wants to name him Turd Ferguson.
He says he looks like a Mr. Ferguson. Fergus would be a good name for him, but I think we're going to wait and see what name sticks.

And Turd Ferguson does kinda roll off the tongue doesn't it?
Yes. He definitely rules disheveled wandering stars.
When he's bad, he's explosive.
