*~* Please Meet Mr. Bogart *~*UPDATE PICS POST #25~*~

[lvpets2002]

:) I have been fostering Bogart for a while now.. He Was Born With No Eyes.. He has tear ducks but No Eye Balls.. He has come from the Dallas County Shelter.. He has been adopted before & keeps getting returned.. He was noted to be aggresive & not good with other cats.. Well I have had my eye & heart set on him for several months now.. Well I made a appointment to Meet Bogart & decide if I wanted to take him in about a month ago.. Yes I brought him home & he got his own room & we have been working one on one & doing great.. I found out he loves to play & be combed & his face washed.. Well now he is slowly introing with the other babies & doing great.. His girlfriend is Miss Tatiana.. So I am in the process of Adoption now & have been granted his Adoption.. Bogart is like night & day from when I brought him in.. Even the Ladies at the shelter was afraid of him due to his outburst of aggresivness.. Well I knew that if I could get some of my other babies that I have adopted to calm down in time then I could get him calmed & content too.. Gosh I think he looks just like Magoo.. I just cant remember which PTr had a baby just like him.. The baby's name was Magoo..

Ok this is Bogart's reaction after I told him that the Adoption was going thru.. He was like saying Yea & had his paw up for Approval

BIG CONGRATS!!! THIS IS WONDERFUL!!! I'm so happy for you and Mr. Bogart!

Congrats again, he's a beauty!

[happylabs]

That is just wonderful! He looks like he has potential to be a real sweetheart. It is great that you took him in and can work with him. He most likely just needed some extra TLC and someone that understood him. He looks so soft and huggable. :) :love: :)

[phesina]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..

What a sweetie! Mr. Bogart, you are HOME!

[lvpets2002]

:love: Yes for sure he needed his own space.. It was just to crowded over at the shelter for him to have space.. And your so right he needed someone to have time to work one on one with him with lots of patience & time.. Also the most part was to Understand him.. Well I call him my Love Muffin now..

Oh what a DOLL!!!

It was Lisa, catcrazylady, that has Magoo (and now 37 other cats!!!)

Apparently he is doing well. Here is a link to the thread of someone who spoke with her recently:

OOPS...I PM'd her the link to this thread. No worries, Helene...until the recent update, I was wondering how Magoo was also.

If and when Lisa comes back here for a visit, she'll have to be posting pics of 38 kitties! That would stop me in my tracks too! ;):D

ETA: In that thread, Jenn posted a pic she had created of Mr Magoo long ago...and I think it is wonderful for Bogart also!

To quote Catty1 - What a doll!! Where is the cuteness warning?

He is adorable - please give him gentle hugs and scritches from me.

Thanks so much for loving him, and sharing him with us :love:

:love: Oh Candace I just love that Potrait.. I will have to find a way to do one with Bogart in it to give to the ladies at the shelter he came from.. Thank You EveryOne for the Very Nice Supporting & Loving Comments..

CONGRATULATIONS to you and Bogart! Magoo scores another win for the blind kitties! (and he sure does look like Magoo!) A little love and security turned Magoo around and it has Bogart.. all it takes is the right hands and home.

Magoo has been the mentor for many blind kitties and showed us that being blind is not a problem for them.. Only hoomans see it as a handicap or disability. They make the needed adjustments and life is normal to them.

It was me that made the pic above of Magoo, in Paint Shop Pro 8, I forget where I got that hand plug in that I used.. When I saw that picture of him looking up into the sun, I knew what I wanted to do.. First thing you have to do it get the right picture with all the right angles. Keep that in mind and it might take 100 trys or you could get it on the first try.

I am so thrilled that you have adopted him. May he live long and happy with you and teach us as many lessons as Magoo has. CONGRATULATIONS!

[katladyd]

Your two hearts connected and that is what Bogart needed. God Bless You for taking this wonderful baby into your home.:love: You watch, he will be the best cat ever!!!:)

[lvpets2002]

:love: Many Thanks All for the Very Nice Loving Support & Compliments.. Yes this Bigg Boy & I have already connected & he is for sure in my Heart Furrever.. Oh did I tell you that Harley the CH baby got a face bath by Bogart the other day.. It was so Sweet.. When I told the ladies at the Shelter they just could not beleive it..

[lvpets2002]

:love: Yes completed his Adoption Papers over the weekend.. They are being process now.. This weekend I got him used to a Kitty Harness & put a drop leash on it.. I with supervision let him out into the whole house with his harness on & he was non stop all over the house from 7:30 AM until 7:30 PM last night.. When I put him back in his room he was like asleep within 30 min.. He & the others did real well.. I still want to make sure to supervise for a while.. Here is a couple of pics of him in the living room next to a cat toy of course.. Now I did not tell him he had on a pink harness & leash.. SSSSSSShhhhh dont tell..

Welcome home, Bogart!! You're going to be one very happy and loved boy!

[moosmom]

Lvpets2002,

What a wonderful happy ending!!! Great job!!

[emily_the_spoiled]

Having four blinds cats I can tell you that he will get into just as much mischief as a fully sighted cat :D:D

Congratulations on the newest addition!

[lvpets2002]

:love: Well you know I watched him yesterday & he did not run or bump into anything.. Now he would go a little ways & stop to listen & think some & then he would move on & around.. Then he of course would listen for my talking & walking.. He wanted to be in every room I was in.. He is for sure my Bigg Boy & just a Love Muffin.. Yes he is very easy to cuddle.. Many Thanks for the Warm Welcomes & Compliments..

Hello from down here! I'm on the floor again because I was preparing in advance for maximum KITTY PRECIOUSNESS! Mr. Bogart, you make my heart skip a beat, you're so handsome. I'm glad you got to explore your new home and I really like your BLUE harness and leash! (Meowmom, why does Mr. Bogart need a harness? Can you please "splain" it to me?)

[lvpets2002]

:love: Yes Elyse he only needs a harness with drop leash just until he gets used to whole house & other babies.. This is for if he gets lost or into a dispute with one of the others then I can find him by the real long drop leash & also have better control if he needs to be got to quickly like.. This is only a saftey precaution measure.. Its a drop leash meaning he can go where ever he wants.. Now after he is very used to the others & v/s & he knows all the surroundings then he wont need it anylonger.. I have used this method on all of the other new intros & it has worked very well..

Bogart is so adorable! I can see how you fell in love with him. I have a soft spot in my heart for blind babies. Someday I will have another blind kitty.

Thank you for explaining this to me! I hope Bogart learns his way around quickly, and I hope all the FurrPurr Clan will just love him! Please give him a hug and kiss from me! (And Zolene, and Tatiana, and Skid, Bump and ButterScotchie, Taccoa, Calitt and everybody! Mmwah!)

I think he is now and "official Pet Talk Kitty" with a fan club in the making. He is stealing heart without trying and gathering his fans to admire him (as he should be admired). I can't wait to see how he blossoms in your care, feeling safe, loved and appreciated.

Dear handsome Bogart! I, your admiring fan, would like to know if you, your buddy Tatiana, your meowmom and your kitty-siblings are planning to watch the Academy Awards next Sunday night. I wonder if they will show any pictures of your namesake actor Humphrey Bogart. There will be a lot of buzz over the gowns, but you are already dressed perfectly in your lovely fluffy coat! Please have meowmom give you and everybody some hugs and snuggles from me!

:love: ---
Elyse

[Kalei]

Oh my goodness! Mr. Bogart you are such a cutie! I wish I saw this post earlier. Lvpets2002, you must be so happy :) And I bet the shelter must be so pleased that they found such a good owner for Mr. Bogart. I've never seen a blind kitty before, and he is just adorable :) He just needed a bit of love:love:
