Thanksgiving with Cats/Thanksgiving mit Katzen

Meet Ramses, the Genie
Wir stellen vor: Ramses, den Jinny (Flaschengeist, Hausgeist aus der arabischen Legende

"I wonder who's coming"
"Wer kommt da wohl?"

 My friend Bill Edwards, who has a lot of experience with cats through his work in cat therapy, had suggested that Genie's foster parents rub him down with a towel and send it to us before his arrival, so that Siddhartha could get a sniff. This can facilitate the adjustment of the two cats.

Mein Freund Bill Edwards, der durch seine Arbeit mit Katzentherapie viel Erfahrung mit den Tieren hat, hatte geraten, dass Genie's Pflegeeltern den Kater mit einem Handtuch abreiben und es uns vor seiner Ankunft schicken damit Siddhartha schonmal den Geruch aufnehmen kann. Dies kann dabei helfen, die beiden Tiere aneinander zu gewoehnen.

Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 22nd, 2:45 am: Genie arrives at Newark Airport

Grooming

Siddhartha and Genie are getting adjusted. There is a little bit of a personality conflict. Genie Ramses, now 5 months old, was picked up as a kitten with his mother as a stray. He is very confident, an alpha male if there ever was one, a kid who takes what he wants. You don't have to bond with him, he'll bond with you, and he's as cuddly as could be, purring all the time.
Siddhartha, supposedly 4, but we don't think he's more than a year old, lost his home when he was surrendered by his owner. He has a hard time standing his ground; if Genie wants to sit on the cat tree, he'll just let him. He's very affectionate, but sometimes appears a little sad over having to share his human and his toys. The fact that Genie always beats him at "crinkle ball"- because he's so much smaller, flexible and faster, doesn't exactly help to boost Sid's confidence either, even though he's better with the cat dancer - and so much bigger and stronger. But looking at the two cats bird-watching together makes me hopeful that they'll become good friends.

Siddhartha und Genie Ramses sind dabei, sich aneinander zu gewoehnen. Die Temperamente sind unterschiedlich, Ramses, 5 Monate alt, und seine Mutter Gina wurden als streunende Katzen aufgegriffen. Er ist sehr selbstbewusst, und nimmt sich was er will. Er freundet sich auch unaufgefordert mit einem an, und er ist ein Schmusekater, der die ganze Zeit schnurrt.
Siddhartha, andgeblich 4, wahrscheinlich aber 1, hoechstens 1 1/2 Jahre, hat sein Zuhause verloren. Er wurde von seinem Besitzer ins Tierheim gebracht. Er hat etwas Schwierigkeiten, seinen Stand zu wahren, wenn Genie auf dem Kaztenbaum sitzen will, laesst er ihn einfach. Er ist sehr anhaenglich und liebevoll, aber manchmal ein bischen traurig weil er nun seine Menschin und seine  Spielsachen teilen muss. Die Tatsache, das Genie ihn beim Ballspielen schlaegt, weil er so viel kleiner, schneller und wendiger ist, hilft auch nicht gerade, Siddhartas Selbstbewusstsein zu staerken, obwohl er besser mit dem "Cat Dancer" ist. Aber wenn ich mir die beiden bei der morgendlichen Vogelbeobachtung am Fenster ansehe, habe ich den Eindruck, dass die beiden gute Freunde werden koennen.

PS : By the way, Gina, Genie Ramses mother, 
is still waiting for a loving home. Here she is:

The lovely Gina

Meet Gina, the queen o' my heart. This svelte and chic young lady in basic black accented with white came to Omaha from New York City, to find a cozy furever home. Gina is a sweet and quiet lover, gentle, gracious, affectionate, and wise beyond her youth. (She may be as young as a year to 1 year old.) Gina is spayed, tested, and current on vaccinations. Gina prefers a quiet household, suited to her quiet, peaceful ways. She would probably prefer a home without dogs or young children, and with a limited number of other cats. (Ideally, Gina would love to be an only cat, but she's willing to make concessions!) In exchange for these peaceful and calm environs, Gina will reward you by sharing with you her elegance and all the affection of her loving heart.

To adopt or foster lovely Gina, please fill out a adoption application with Homeward Bound in the Heartland Animal Rescue,http://homewardboundintheheartland.info/adoption-application/
