Our cats meet Pichi!

[@RachelandJunAdventures]

FAQ about her eye! What you're looking at is her third eyelid, which is completely closed over top of her eye. The eye is pushed back into the socket likely due to some sort of fight with another cat, but the eye is still in there. It likely doesn't have any vision, but if you look closely you can still see the iris through the third eyelid and it moves along with her healthy eye. When we first found her her eye injury was still recent and in the process of healing, but the state it's in right now is essentially its "healed" state and this is how it will remain. The vet doesn't recommend surgery to remove the eye at this point because it's medically unnecessary. The only side effect he mentioned of keeping her eye like this would be that it might produce more eye gunk than normal. I do notice eye gunk along the outside every now and then but Pichi is very fastidious about keeping herself clean and she cleans it off herself! Removing the eye right now would add unnecessary surgical risk, cause her additional stress, and she may even need an implant to maintain the shape of socket if the eye was removed. If anything changes or the vet recommends it be removed we would follow his advice immediately. At least for me personally, I got used to it very quickly and don't even really notice it most of the time now! If you find it weird or disturbing to look at at first, I ask that you be open-minded and give her a chance--I think you'll get used to it as well before you know it!

[@MothGirl007]

I think she's lovely and I totally agree with your decision about surgery - if your vet says she doesn't need it and she isn't in any pain, then you are totally right. I had a wonderful kitty for years who also had an eye injury and was blind in one eye - he was totally fine with it and no less beautiful to me. She''s really settling in so well with you guys - it's so cool!

[@TransmutedCuppyCake]

Haku's wholesome reaction to Pichi reminds me of when I took in my second cat. He was labeled unadoptable with his adversion to humans and very aggressive at first but I wanted to give him a chance, especially with how my first cat was in need of a sibling with his separation anxiety. When I brought him in he was stressed beyond belief and didn't seem like he was going to fare too well, he didn't even trust the food I gave him despite being clearly hungry enough to drool when he saw the food set down in front of him. I wanted to do everything by the book and gradually introduce the two cats, but my first cat had other plans and managed to open the door I had the kitten in. I couldn't find either of them and I was so panicked until I heard eating noises coming from the kitchen. My cat had taken it upon himself to lead the kitten into the kitchen and was lying down next to him while the kitten was scarfing down a small pile of kibbles that he had apparently been storing up just for his new baby brother. Ever since then, they are side by side when they eat and the older cat will make sure his little brother finishes his bowl before he lets him wander off. Couldn't have asked for a better outcome, and it really shows how animals can sense when someone needs a little extra help.

Two things I am delighted in knowing; Pichi has excellent cat etiquette! Look at her just diverting her focus when Nagi seems spooked so that he gets to approach her! Her slow blinking to say that she's friendly! All excellent! ... Pichi sounds like a trumphet masquerading as a cat :')

[@viictiri794]

It might take Pichi a while to play with string toys because of her lack of depth perception

[@GreatBooker]

I hadn’t thought of that but it makes sense. When I was a kid, though, we had a blind cat that would chase string we dragged on carpet bc he could hear it, so cats are crafty little buggers.

[@bri8661]

Pichi does seem to be doing a remarkable job with no depth perception. All of those leaps and even getting to the food. I don't know exactly how cat eyes work, but for humans, that sort of stuff is really hard with no depth perception (I was born without it and my eyes were surgically realigned to give me depth perception). I wonder if the other eye is getting any info at all, even just a bit of color could help the brain. Otherwise I guess she is just getting used to it, still impressive!

[@littlekitsune1]

@Duhamnit Bobbeh Communicate verbally yes, but not with meows. Those are strictly a kitten-to-mother noise that they evolved for humans. If you adopt a feral cat, they often won't have a meow at all, because of this.

[@littlekitsune1]

@Duhamnit Bobbeh The "meow" is a very specific sound. You can look up multiple videos on this that will have recordings of the different cat noises. It's a well documented fact.

[@peacemakerjo6166]

Haku had very nurturing almost like twords a kitten body language I had a mama cat that would make the sounds Haku made when she would come to her kittens meow. And hakus a boy right? Was very fascinated by the first reactions.

[@ParadoxGavel]

The fact that she meows at the other cats might suggest that she didn't have much socialization with other cats beyond weaning, since only kittens tend to meow at other cats. So it seems like she was on her own from when she was really young.

Cats and dogs are very scent-oriented and are creatures of familiarity. Quickly introducing them to a new environment is not going to go over well, especially if you have other pets. You need to introduce them to a small portion of your home at a time, and make sure you take as many of their items with you as possible so your home can be filled with familiar and comforting smells. This is also a way to get your other pets to know you have a new friend -- let them smell their belongings. They will know these items belong to a different animal and will become curious about them. Keeping a new pet in a closed-off room of your home and letting your current pets meet them on their own time is the easiest and most stress-free way to bring that new pet into the home. The best way for new 'animal roommates' to meet is by scent, under the door. Cats will be able to see under the door but dogs will not, so this is a critical step involving familiarization of smells. With some cats it's almost inevitable that they'll start out hissing or hitting at each other under the door, but soon you'll see the aggressive swatting turn into playful batting. Buy them a new toy and let them share it. For dogs it's not as easy to share toys, especially if you're moving a cat or small dog in with a large dog. But you can let them share other items of comfort such as blankets. Let your current pet play with something during the day and your new pet during the night, and they can share under the door. After *at least* a week of introductions you can finally open the door (my new pets usually spend this week waiting on vet results anyway since I take a lot of cats in from outside and dogs from troubling situations, so they'll naturally be 'quarantined' for at least a week to make sure there are no diseases). The first time you do it, you want your new pet to be in their carrier or on their leash, and if you're introducing a dog to a dog find a friend to help leash your current dog if you suspect any problems. Hopefully at this point, the meeting will go off without a hitch! If you do have any complications, don't give up! You might invest in pheromones to calm down the offending pets. And of course, your biggest investment is time. When I first introduced my severely neglected working-class German Shepherd to our existing Belgian Sheepdog, I honestly initially didn't think we were going to be able to take him in. He was just being really territorial of his people and kept 'mouthing' my Belgian; he wasn't hurting her so much as giving her a warning (and it doesn't help that his former owners never trained out his puppy teething). But when his owners went over to my Belgian and loved on her and showed him it was okay, he was more accepting. We brought out one of her toys for him to sniff and he ended up taking it and playing with it! Animals are really smart and pick up on cues from humans more than anything else, you just have to work with them to make sure they're comfortable! If any prospective pet owners have any questions, let me know below! Otherwise, I recommend adopting not shopping, you should definitely spay and neuter, and you should go ahead and subscribe to Rachel and Jun, they're serious animal lovers :)

He immediately gently tries to reassure her, his body language is so clearly purposely telling her "I'm here to help you, it's okay" (the way he turns his back to her when she approaches shows trust from him) and you can see she immediately hides behind him. It's amazing. You are such amazing cat parents.

Feral or community cats actually do much better than housecats when it comes to accepting other cats. Females especially, rely on other female cats to help raise any kittens born outside.

[@Skatollu]

Once Pichi's more comfortable being close to humans, utilizing gravy treats (the ones that come in those yoghurt tubes) might be one way to help trim claws. I rescued a stray earlier this year and he was also incredibly resistant to claw trimming. I found that by having a helper hold a gravy treat to distract him, I could come in with the clippers and he'd hardly notice me. Now we're at the point where he has such a positive association with claw trimming that he barely resists at all! Gravy for the win, haha. Pichi is so lucky to have found you guys. I can't wait to see how she grows and becomes more confident with time. :)

[@terriblyindecisive]

Seconding the gravy treats! There are ones in Japan by Inaba called Churu that work really well.

You can also roll the cat in to a tight burrito in a towel or blanket ;)
