I wish we could get them both right away. I feel so sorry for Scout. He's in a little cage in the quarantine room where people aren't even allowed to visit or play with him and he has three more weeks to go. Poor baby wants attention so bad. When we stopped by last night we could just look at him through the window into the room.
It's probably for the best. When Leroy first broke his legs, I didn't pen him up and he ended up rebreaking one jumping off the washing machine and had to have a second surgery to replace the rod that was knocked loose.

I understand caging him but why quarantined? It's not like he is sick or contagious. Poor little guy getting no pets or attention

I understand caging him but why quarantined? It's not like he is sick or contagious. Poor little guy getting no pets or attention I think it was just the most convenient thing to do with him. All the other cats and kittens are running loose in bays with a dozen or more to a bay, then there is this room off to the side with individual cages where the new cats or any being treated for anything are kept that has a big NO VISITORS sign on the door. I guess I would have put his kitty kennel in one of the bays or next to the staff's desk so he can see the comings and goings, but I suppose they want him to just lay around and be calm so he can heal. I wish I would have got a picture of him when we were back there. He was flat on his belly with his front legs shoved through the bars all the way to his body trying to crawl onto me.

LOL What are the chances of me NOT posting pictures. I'm going to go home tonight and start listing things on Craigslist. These free kittens are killing my budget and the Bowflex sale never went through.

Yes, it was. It would have covered nearly all of this and he sounded so sure he wanted it...then he never got back to me. I put it on Craigslist this morning. Maybe I'll get some New Years Resolution people calling on it.

Looking forward to lots of pictures. I love animals. It is very good you are teaching your children to love them as well.

Well, she's home! The time from pick up until we got home was quite a while because I had to make several stops and we had to wait to pick younger son up from his Dad's, but she was pretty mellow in the van...

Are they offering two-for-one pricing for the holidays? Cause he's adorable too. Well, they're FREE right now. LOL I told him maybe we need more than one. He obviously thinks I'm joking because he just laughed and said something to the effect of three cats being crazy...but I kinda want to put a call in that if he doesn't get any applications we'll take him too.
Just tell him it could be worse and you could have 4 or 5 or 12 like the crazy cat people in your computer.
Congratulations and take more! And welcome to the crazy cat lady side! We have wine and cat nip.

Pretty mellow in the van says you have a very personable kitty right there, that's a good one.

Pretty mellow in the van says you have a very personable kitty right there, that's a good one. Mellow in the van, but definitely a kitten compared to what we're used to in this house. After getting settled into her room for an hour or so she warmed up to playing and has been chasing mice and laser pointers like crazy. If you throw something she takes off after it. It's so funny to see her dive bomb her bed and flip it over while inside. She loves to be held too and rolls around so you can pet as many areas as possible. The claws are going to take some getting used to though, she kneads you with them and those puppies are sharp! She's going to be a small cat, she's maybe 4 or 5 pounds if that. Scout is bigger and two months younger. We got to go visit him today and he was SO happy. There's a big sign on his cage that he is to remain in there for two months, no being taken out, no exceptions. He is going to be crazy by the time he gets out. 5 weeks down 3 to go. Another sideways picture of Bundles in her new bed. She LOVES this bed.

Her intake papers are pretty sad. Brought in 9/21. Paws bloodied, diarrhea, ear mites, ringworm, lethargy. They just treated her for mites again on Monday. I sure hope they're gone this time.

I have two boys. I'm used to psycho. I'm a little worried about claws though. Both of our house cats before were declawed and I never had issues with shredding furniture. None of my cats are declawed and none of them claw the furniture. They've got scratching posts and flat surfaced scratchers to use for that and they do. It's a matter of training and making sure they understand what's okay and what isn't okay. That's not hard to do if you start them young. My ISO's stray cat always sharpens his claws on the door mat before coming in, so far not harming the mat and never on anything in the house. I had cats who liked 4x4 clothes line post, mom's Maine coon had hers down to about 2 inches a ragged mess but a 4x4 every 10 years isn't too much. Mine destroyed the legs of a picnic table in about 20 years but they were small legs and cedar.

Congratulations on your new fur babies! Sushi the Destroyer was a shelter cat. More than once. He had 3 previous owners. Each time the poor guy thought he had a forever home, they'd bring him back. People would say "Oh, look how pretty! He looks expensive! We'll take him!", without taking into account the Oriental personality. Yes, Tonkinese cats start at $1,000, but damn! They have quirks. Like bursting into a litany of howling at 04h00 when the sun is coming up, yelling at birds and squirrels outside. Yelling in the afternoon, evening, and night, too. They sound like a baby being butchered with a set of bagpipes. They start yakking away as soon as you make eye contact, and it Just. Doesn't. Stop. You have to know what you're getting into with certain breeds, and it isn't fair to the animal to keep taking it back. He must have been so confused. I knew exactly what I was getting into, and he has a forever home now, even though he is a pain in the a$$.

I think female red tabbies (ginger) are quite rare. Its recessive, so for an xx female... both parents need to be red tabbies. Congratulations on your new little puss ....she looks delightful.

Day 1 is going well. DS is a little anxious to just let her be a part of the household with older cat, but I'm insisting we ease into this, so I'm glad DS is leaving Sunday to spend the week at his Grandparents. Less temptation. Today we locked up Leroy in his room (he hated that) and let Tumbles loose for a few hours. I thought she'd stay down in the lower level, but while we were watching a movie upstairs she came up to be by us. She was a little tentative at first, but soon jumped up on the couch to lounge on our laps and watch with us. I don't know if she's never seen a tv before or what, but she was enthralled by the movement on the screen. Then she wandered off again and I found her playing on the tower. She seemed right at home up there.

There was an accidental Leroy meeting when the door to her room wasn't latched tight after we went in. He walked over to check her out and she hissed at him. He slowly backed away and went to see what was in her food dish instead. It was funny that she ran him off. He's easily triple her size and it was HIS house. She's quite tiny. I think even for her age she is.

Female cats rule the house. Yes they do! My old lady suffers no fools! Lol I can't wait until Tumbles and Leroy are fully integrated and she does kitten hops. I love kitten hops! That's what I loved about my little guy when he was a kitten.
