Meet Spike. He's the latest member of my home, a very pretty 6 year old black male cat from the lovely man over at www.citycatshelter.com.
He arrived very scared and wide eyed on Thursday, spent most of the day under the sofa before he came out a bit in the evening. He spent the whole of Thursday night hiding in a cupboard and then the whole of Friday (home alone), sitting on the kitchen draining board. I set up a web cam in the kitchen so I could watch him from work - he pretty much stayed there all day.
Then, last night he spent the night running around the house in the dark, over excited and giving me a bad nights sleep. It's worth it though. He's a very friendly cat with a nice purr.
Today he had a little photo shoot and I thought I'd share it with the world...

he looks a character with hidden depths,he may be trouble,as he doesn’t OPEN his eyes with wonder he seems to hold his eyes slightly closed as if he was assessing the situation.
reduce the protein in his diet[same principal as if you give oats to horses they are more energetic,without they calm down]i know it is all new and he will take time to settle but keep his home quiet and calm to make him settle at night.RESCUE REMEDY calms dogs down,don’t know if it works on cats.getting to a routine should help as it reassures animals

Oh, you’ve got a cat. My cat is also a british black short haired male. (17 years old now)
Lovely big ears. Not sure about the close up shot of his nose though. You’ve got a habit of taking shots like that I’ve noticed.
I hope he learns that you mean him no harm and that you develop a good friendship with him.

I particularly like the top photo. That look is something else.
Glad he’s settling in now.
Fancy spying on him!! ( I can’t get over that- I wonder if he knows he’s being watched)

I had never planned to google a cat, but couldn’t resist when I saw the little picture to know more about him. Now I’m in love…
