The King Has Returned

After more than 15 months away from us (thanks Grandma and Mark & Sue for taking care of him!), Ralphie the cat has rejoined our little family. Meka and Tricia are both very excited, and, I admit, it's nice to have another guy in the house again, although we're now outnumbered...

As expected, when we brought him home, he slowly crept out of his crate and investigated things for a few minutes before quickly finding our bed and hiding underneath. But, he came out to find his litter box and food dishes, and now he's hanging out on one of our dressers. It will take him a few days to adjust to the new house, but once he does he'll come out of his shell and spend more time hanging out with us and playing with Meka.

    What a cute kitty! You can tell he's scared because his eyes are so dilated. For some reason, cat's eyes get like that when they're scared. But if his eyes stay like that after more than a few days even in bright light, you should have him checked. It can also be a sign of high blood pressure. But he looks young and healthy, so I'm guessing it's just the new surroundings.

    Very Handsome! Some testosterone is always good to have in the household. Especially in about 12 years when Gwen is a teenager! LOL!

    Ralphie is a beautiful boy. Love those big round eyes of his. He looks just like my dear baby Anthony... boy to I miss that big guy!

    I am glad he's finally home with you, and I'm sure he's glad to be "home" as well (even though I know Grandma treats him well - Grandmas treat everyone well!)

    I don't know why but I never pictured what Ralphie looked like. I must say he is beautiful. Can I say that about a boy cat?
