J1 has been undergoing some mighty harsh grooming sessions and I don't mean those with a brush. With the likes of the CatWomen at every opportunity it was really driving him crackers. He would be fine here for a few weeks and just when we thought all was OK and he was playing like a kitten again, whoosh. he would revert to Sock-n-Marbles tactics. This was fine for Momma, she useto manage him with feather toys and fancy treats, but J1 and ManSlave had one too many altercations and the two of them would re-enact the wide eyed shuffle. Each not knowing what the other intended to do. Really, in both cases, it was pretty much nothing, but neither forgot the incident with the red rug. It was as ManSlave was saving his face from being shredded, he threw the rug over him and tussled J1 to the ground, leaving him to fight his way out whilst ManSlave beat a hasty retreat. From then on, the trust had gone and both were as terrified as each other.
Momma would say "Soften your eyes to him, don't stare." but ManSlave was still wide eyed and never looked at J1 again. J1 never softened his eyes either and kept them perfectly round and alert at all times too.
"I am never softening my eyes" ManSlave would retort "He came this close to my nose."
To be fair, I am with ManSlave on this one, I have seen and felt that sock full of marbles on me and I too walk around with eyes rounded and on guard. I still don't trust him even though the vet took his marbles away! But Momma thinks he is cute and loving? It's a girl thing obviously?
Well, Momma didn't even have to look for a home really. J1 had managed to make a very lovely couple very happy indeed. So they had to wait for hormones and things to settle before he could make the long journey to his new Bohemian home in Cardigan with lots of new hardened playmates. After all, he has been craving cat company for a long time, just not mine! He has lots of new friends and at first was a little daunted by all the new folks and felines but in true Devon fashion, he soon just hopped out of his carrier and met everyone and even a lovely dog too. I was the best thing for him and non too soon as that Gracie was starting to yell again and really upset all Momma's hard work. But looking at him in his new magenta abode I feel he will fit in exceptionally well as just like his new owners Greville & Stephanie being a little different is all it's about. Not conforming to society and being creative will suit everyone purrfectly.
