Michelle says: Nermie (named after Nermal from Garfield) was a three-week-old baby kitten that needed bottle feeding-- we pulled him from the shelter and had him at the same time as Minnie and Orange. Nermie was two weeks older. We fostered them all together and Orange totally fell in love with Nermie! Seriously in love with Nermie. When we decided to keep Orange, we adopted Nermie too to keep them together. But at age three, Nermie started spraying the house and litterally attacking all of the other cats. After three vets, we all came to the conclusion that he decided he no longer wanted to be in a multicat household. It was devastating; my husband was particularly attached to Nermie, not to mention Orange, who was totally confused by Nermie attacking him. We separated him in a bedroom and he calmed down. Eventually we found Nermie a fantastic home (rehomed him) where he could be king of the house.

I see the Siamese influence, the partial mask, striped legs that appear as the mixed cats mature. Sorry to hear that Nermie changed like that, glad to learn that he was re-homed.

Nermie looks a darling, a touching story and so happy for him that he's now the boss in his new home.

Ah, Nermie. He just wants to be alone. I am glad you understood. Perhaps he will be happier now. Lots of sweet photos, @Michelle!

Nermie is adorable. Some cats just prefer being "only" cats - glad you understood that, and were able to rehome him. I'm sure he's happy being "king" of his castle!

Odd how some cats just want to be 'onlys'. Nermie is a little doll, and I know it must have been hard for both of you to let him go.

Nermie is such a handsome cattie and you and your husband must miss him very much. He was lucky to be re-homed and is happy there. Hopefully Orange will not miss him too much!

I love Nermie's blue eyes! He's an adorable looking kitten. Too bad for you and Orange that he decided he didn't want to live in a big family. I'm glad you found a wonderful "one cat" home for him!

Aww, how terribly sad the love affair didn't last and Nermie needed to be rehomed. We have a similar situation with cats from the same litter who used to be best friends but now Misty hisses at her brother Shelby who looks rather confused at the hostility! Nermie is very cute and at least he was given a second chance. Poor Orange!
