Well, over the last year,, we've followed the tale of a couple of kitties by other members here. I've truly enjoyed them,,, even when the loss of one by a member made me cry. And yes,, we lost one here too in late July. My wonderful best half,, lost her cuddle kitty,, who had promptly adopted her when her other kitty had passed away 4 years ago. It was like the older cat (Sebastian) told the little angel (Patches,) to "Take care of momma!"
Well,, Miss Patches passed in July,, at the age of 17.
My wife has grieved,, and wished for another kitty that would be "her" kitty,, and snuggle & cuddle.
I've often said; "When God decides another cat needs a good home around here,, he'll send one."
Well, My wife had been checking shelters & such for a while now,, and about a week ago,,, one kitten, it's picture seemed to say; "Come get me." So,, we discussed it, and all, and today,, we brought home our newest fur baby.
Today is also my wife's B-Day. I said; "God decided to send you a present."
Well, we already have (3) other cats,, and so far,, the kitten is not bothered by the new surroundings. He's out exploring & such. The other cats,, well, (1) could care less, while the other (2) have been a bit stand-offish. A little growling on the part of the kitten, and a bit of hissing by the adult cats is all that's happened.
But the newest addition,, he seems quite happy with most everything.
He took an hour nap,, resting comfortably on my wife's upper chest, purring & all. I'm letting her be the primary person with him so he'll bond more with her. Plus,, the "foster care" home,, had a lady doing the work,, so he's already used to a female caregiver.
But this little black & white fur baby (not quite a Tuxedo) is a sweetheart. And the laughter from my wife,, and the smiles I've seen this evening say it all.
Yep,, God sent her a good B-Day present.
I'll get some pics up later.
Ok, here's a quick picture of the newest kitty. He's a Tuxedo for sure. Loveable, friendly, and full of himself. The other 3 are slowly coming around. The one cat I figured to be the hardest one to accept him, has been the best so far.
"Munchkin" hasn't slowed down to where I could get a GOOD picture,, but I will!
