Re: GTKY: Furbaby addition
Type: Does a Hamster Count....lol
This hamster is a freak, she literally escaped the two previous cages we had and she went as far as eating her way into our walls, thankfully she got hungry and came out on her own after my dad cut a hole closer to where she would be able to climb up. So we bought an all metal cage and she spends all her time chewing the paint off the bars thinking she will still find a way out. She has only bit my daughter once and loves to play in her ball...she always ends up in the bathroom (same room she chewed through the wall)
Oh we have a fish too..lol!

How long have they been in the family? Since he was 9 weeks old
Personality: super friendly. Loves people and always has a smile on his face.

Favorite toy/activity: Fetch. Always fetch. We live for that game He prefers the Cuz balls with the feet.
If you're prepping furkid for human kid, how so? I plan take him for walks with the empty stroller to get him used to it. Haven't thought too much further than that, although I have read a few articles that gave me good ideas.
Type: DOG
FIL has a cat here - Black cat named "Blackberry." DD1 loves him and he is actually pretty patient with her. That could have to do with the fact that he is an attention whore who just wants to be petted. Or with the fact he's 16, fat and lazy. We also have a 4 or 5 year old gray cat named "Hemi." Due to the acreage we live on and the time he spends outside he's gone practically feral at this point and is pretty nuts. But he's harmless and only comes inside to eat or when it is cold. He does not stick around at all for kid to even get close.
ETA: Little Girl surprised me. She has been indifferent or avoiding of Josie as she's gotten older. But she was very concerned with her when we brought her home. Every time Josie cried, Little girl would sniff her, then look at me with these sad eyes- like I had done something to make the baby cry! It was funny. She was the only animal to have an interest in the new baby.

Favorite toy/activity: she chews anything and everything apart before it has a chance of becoming a favorite
If you're prepping furkid for human kid, how so? We will bring a baby blanket home so she can smell LO first as well as turn on all baby toys so she can hear the noise.
Type: cheagle
Age: 4.5
Sex: Male
How long have they been in the family? Since he stopped nursing
Personality: he is a big baby. Love him so much.

If you're prepping furkid for human kid, how so?he is going to be so jealous! Lol we need to work on him not being such a needy baby
Type: Cat
Breed: short hair tuxedo
Age: 3yrs
Sex: M
How long have they been in the family? Since he was 12wks old
Personality: timid, loves attention, petrified of the doorbell. He has cerebellar hypoplasia, so he's a bit clumsy and disheveled.
Where do they sleep? In the cat bed during the day and at night under my arm or on my feet
Favorite toy/activity: giving kitten kisses, eating, toys with catnip
If you're prepping furkid for human kid, how so? I think he'll be too nervous around the LO worry about prepping him.
Name: Dash
Type: Cat
Breed: short hair tabby
Age: 1.5yrs
Sex: M
How long have they been in the family? Since he was 8 wks old
Personality: rambunctious, curious
Where do they sleep? On the kitchen counter during the day and at night cuddled up to DH, on his chest or pillow. They love each other.
Favorite toy/activity: stealing anything off tables, counters, and nightstands he can get in his mouth. He also loves to be in the shower with you. He has a stick toy with feathers on the end that we're pretty sure he thinks is a real bird with the way he rips it to shreds and growls at it.
If you're prepping furkid for human kid, how so? Keeping him closed out of the nursery so he gets used to not being in there. I think there will be no way to stop his curious investigations once LO arrives.
For you cat ladies....https://youtu.be/PKffm2uI4dk

Type: cat
Breed: Himalayan
Age: 3

How long have they been in the family? 3 years
Personality: She's a bitch! Haha not friendly to most people but she's never scratched anyone... just ignores them mostly. My niece (who is six now) has been picking her up and flipping her over against her will for years, but she just runs away when she gets a chance.
Where do they sleep? In the winter, she sleeps on me but in the summer she sleeps on her cat tree thing by the window.
Favorite toy/activity: She has her "baby" which is a stuffed furry orange cat stuffed with beads instead of stuffing.
If you're prepping furkid for human kid, how so? When I get the crib and have it set up, I'll put tin foil in it so if she jumps in, she'll hate the tin foil and never do it again! I also play youtube videos of babies crying so she gets used to the sound.

She's used to the kids now but we really didn't do much to prepare her for the first. We just let her see and smell all the shower gifts and left her smell a blanket from the hospital. We also showed the baby through our baby gate.

Sadly, it is true. She can be looking directly at you, and if you say her name, she doesn't even flinch. Say her sister's name, and she responds! I don't even know why we both trying to use her name about 8 years.. she is probably thinking, "Dumb human, there is no one here by that name."
