Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Congrats! I'm so happy she found a loving home. This is how my Koko was when I got him. My nephew was a very young boy and Koko hugged his face and he never stopped from that first day on. He is the only one he would do this to. Almost 19 yrs later with much larger paws he would reach right out to Mo and rub his face. Donna Rainy day mushroom pillow, colors green, brown and yellow. Wonder if they'll turn back ever, contemplating what together, poison dreams, assorted dreams, mushroom dreams.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Nevermind, they want to give her back now! Apparently, she hissed and growled periodically in the night (who could blame her, new place??) and the woman doesn't want her 7-year-old to be afraid of animals. Oh, people... grrr....! Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Oh man! This is the problem with many people taking on new pets. They don't walk in the pets paws and understand how it feels to be taken to a new home. My little Mee Mee was a 2 lb. ball of fear when I adopted her, they adopted her out and she was abused by the son and dog and brought her back the next day. Luckily Taz loved her as soon as I brought her home. It took almost a year for her to get where she is now, she sleeps on me, purrrrrs non-stop and will even chase Taz now. Maybe she is meant to be with you. Hugs Donna Rainy day mushroom pillow, colors green, brown and yellow.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Yes, people who don't know animals.....probably best that they give her up now before the poor cat is traumatized! We just adopted 2 new kitties (we have a sweet 6yo female black cat) and these 2 (also black! I LOVE black kitties) are 5 months (male) and 6-7 months (female). They arrived last Sunday and we heard hissing/growling several times a day back and forth as they worked out their places. Yesterday was the first day my 6yo cat felt comfortable enough in the same room for an extended period of time. They new cats are very sweet as well (I chose them for that specifically), and I think in time they'll be fine. And the older cat gets to sleep in the bedroom with me, babies aren't allowed yet. She needs to feel she's still important and can have her " space " without them jumping on her in the middle of the night - they have each other for that.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 The black ones are sometimes left behind, I think it's just because they don't show up so well in the cages, like a calico or a tabby shows up. Could be some superstition as well. One of the sweetest kittens I ever fostered was a little black boy kitty, he was such a love! He was adopted, despite his color. Some people who have done cat rescue longer than me swear that black male cats are the most loving. Your little kitties are lucky to have you! Hopefully they'll figure out fast that your 6yo is going to run the show! Sally only lasted 15 hours. My aunt still claims the record -- 3 hours for a dog, returned because their dog " didn't like the new one. " Geez! I've decided that Sally is staying -- I'm not putting her or me through that again! I don't want to call her " Monster " anymore, because she really isn't, but I don't like " Sally. " So I'm trying to find a new name, preferably something that starts with an " M " -- my other two torties are Maudie and Myrtle. Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Well, he's my 2nd black male and I'd have to agree about the loving part! He's on my desk " helping " me type right now, purring up a storm. Every once in a while he'll gently reach up with his soft paws and just touch my face, it's SO cute! He's a typical kitten though, and has also earned a few nick names... Hell Boy, Trouble, etc, but he's very, very sweet! I always look for black kitties first! And I think it's the superstition thing too. I've heard from several people that yellow tiger cats tend to be somewhat " strange " (and we DID have one years ago that had some strange behaviors). They figured out by day 2 or 3 that Zoe is definitely running the show. She's warming up to them, it better each day and I'm so glad to see it! I'm glad you're keeping her!

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 You could name her mystic. My cats don't usually have normal cat names, years ago I had a black tabby/Persian mix his name was Rover, I had a white cats whose name was midnight, I currently have a gray cat named Fido and an orange cat named blueberry 2 years ago I had to put to sleep my gray cat named Hoppy and over the summer I had to put to sleep her brother a black cat named Dino. We also had a rabbit named foo foo. I have told my family no more animals for now as we just don't have the space and none of us are home enough. Gayle In a message dated 12/8/2008 8:18:05 A.M.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Wow, you guys are awesome! Lots of cat lovers here! I think I like Matilda the best (it sounds onery!) we'll see how she responds to it. I need to stop calling her Monster because she isn't anymore! I really prefer people names for my animals. Of the animals who live with me that didn't already come with names, I have Norman the parrot, Jack the dog, and Maudie and Myrtle the cats. (Goldie and Casey, the parrots, came with their names, which fit them). Thanks!! Audrey S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I won, I won!!! HEHE, I have two cats, one an adorable little bratty butthead, Thor, the other is well kind of feral, but I occasionaly let him in, but what a mess he makes!!! He is Yoshi. I like different names. Oh and Yoshi is nearly all black but has some white patches on his belly and face. ________________________________ Audrey Snyder <AudeeBird Tuesday, December 9, 2008 7:27:17 AM Re: Re: Audrey OT Wow, you guys are awesome!

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 In my SCA life, I'm known as Matilda. I don't think I'm seen as ornery, though I have been know to be energetic and feisty from time to time. Even opinionated. But not actually ornery. I work to stay within some boundaries. ;-) -ginger not Waltzing Matilda because waltzes came after 1600 and my Matilda is earlier , " Audrey Snyder " <AudeeBird wrote: > > Wow, you guys are awesome!
