Big day for Rose

This is Rose's big day. She is allowed free run of the house except the master bedroom where Sour Pea is locked up.

So far she has done the foyer outside her bedroom.

Will post pics as she continues on her travel.

That is so sweet that she can roam. Does that mean she is a foster success? Let's hope Ms. Sour Pea behaves.

hehehe, DH called himself "daddy" when he was talking to her yesterday.

As for keeping her, it depends on how well she integrates into the house. I can't keep her locked up, but I also can't allow my current resident kitties to be stressed over her presence.

So far she will only come out of the room if Jasper is at her door.

We are going grocery shopping. Rose will be allowed to keep her door open. Maybe with the quiet house she will venture further.

He is a big boy and Rose is a tiny petite girl . She sure has packed on some weight though, even her face has filled out.

You are right, cpietra, she is happy, but would be happier if she had access to Jasper 24/7.

She hasn't really ventured from her room. I was hoping when we went grocery shopping she would come upstairs :sad:.

Awwww, Uncle Jasper is working his charm again.

Is he staying downstairs with Rose? Or is he coming upstairs and she's still staying down?

He is the best kitty to have when fostering ferals/semi ferals because he shows them how kitties interact with humans.

Sour Pea will only tolerate Jasper, after 2 years I still have to keep Puddles and her separated :sad:
Maybe Rose's timid personality will cool Sweet Pea off a bit .

I just adore uncle Jasper,he must be a wonderful kitty
Little Rose looks like such a sweet little tabby,I sooo wish they could all get along,or at least accept each other,like Chico and Vinnie.
You have a huge house,right? so the cats could just ignore each other,without fighting and go to different places in the house.

Yes, I have 4500 sq ft so you would think they would find their own place, but Sour Pea wants every space that Puddles has :sad:.

Rose had a good day, she ventured to the top of the strairs, but we have an open concept so I think it was a bit overwhelming for her.

Jasper taught Rose to sharpen claws on the couch and just after he did it, she went up the couch and scratched hers too

So much fun to watch her open up and do some exploring! Uncle Jasper is such a good guy, taking her under his paw like that!

L4H,with 4.600sq feet,you have room for lots of kitties
Our little bungalow is only 1.300 sq feet and equal size in the basement,no room for anyone to hide.
If we had 4.600 sq f,I would never be able to find hubby or the kitties

Love the pics of Rose and Jasper,he is such a wonderful gentleman

It's so cute that Jasper is helping her to feel welcome. Maybe with a little time, and her scent around the house, Sour Pea will be Sweet Pea and at least tolerate Rose.

LOL, I had to laugh at Jasper teaching Rose to scratch the sofa. Sorry, but I've got the same thing happening down here. Czari never did that, until she saw the others, so now guess who I've caught digging her claws into the sofa on several occasions.

You would think but Rose wants every space that Puddles is currently in

Whoops, Sweet Pea wants every space, not Rose, think I have too many cats or it is old age that has set in
