Eithne that is one gorgeous hunka orange kitty you got there! Watching the video, which is hilarious, he's a lot fluffier than I thought he was based on the first pics you posted.
But when I was watching the video, for some reason I kept thinking of Clark Gable and Rhett Butler.
Oh my goodness! He is such a handsome boy. I love how he hugs the toys to him at the end. What a kind face he has. How about Francis, after St. Francis of Assisi? He was known as the gentle giant--which reminds me of your new boy.
He is 7 - 9 months old (different ages from the two vets who seen him not that it matters much) and he really is that sweet, you can hug him forever. He is a little upset at the kitties not taking to him as best buddies right away, he tries to groom them, then when they hiss he runs and hides in the cat tree
He also likes water and jumped right into the shower this morning and got soaking wet, although he didnt like being dried much.
Autumn is fine as long as he doesnt sleep in her bed, he tried curling up with her in Scully's bed and got a good whack on the head for it but he follows her around like he is attached to her tail. Every so often she will hiss at him but he ignores her - I dont think he knows what a hiss is
Bumper is hissing at him but then chases him and flops down beside him, Magnum and Boomer just love him and already go looking for him if they cant see him
