Yeah!! I went and met with our new black cats foster mom today and I have to say that it is a close call on who is friendly...Dandy...or him....he is soooo affectionate, that i almost think it's Dandy with black dye poured all over her!! I am in shock at how friendly he is. We have to keep them separate b/c he hasnt been tested for feline leukemia and aids yet...but Monday i will have an appt....they met thru the cat carrier...and i really am not afraid at how they will react. I am sure at first, they might hiss, etc...but they are so alike, i think they will be the best of friends!! I am so lucky to have found such a sweet cat, and twice (my Dandy is my sweetheart too)!

My husband is on the computer where we can down load pics, so i will have to post them later...soon, i promise!!

Thanks for all of the good vibes...he is awesome.

I am guessing you are wondering what his name is....well, in lieu of it being the month of St. Patty's Day and the fact that he is a dark black colored cat...his name is.....

Guinness Patrick (Guinness is a dark Irish Ale)

So i will have pics up soon!

Robyn!!! He is magnificent!!! If I could choose a cat, any cat, in addition to the two I have, it would be a big, solid black, male!!!! You got him!!!! I love the thought of one day seeing a picture of Dandy and Guiness together. Talk about "black and white"!!! :p

Congratulations to you and Rob, and of course, Christian, and his proud Grandma, Pam!! :)

Oh, what a CUTIE G.P. is! We want even MORE photos of this delightful boy! Fingers crossed here that he passes all health tests with flying colors!

His pelt is soooo glossy. And his personality sounds marvelous for your family. How exciting!

Thanks for the compliments...he is just perfect!! I wish you could all hear how LOUD he purrs, and chirps...he also head bumps like its going out of style!

He was an injured stray that came into their shelter 6 weeks ago. He had a wound on his tail that wasnt from a bite, but looked like it was from being caught on something. The foster mom/volunteer, saw the wound and didnt think it was being treated properly, so she took him to the vet and he stayed in the hospital for 3 days. She said he was soo good in the hospital and so friendly that she didnt want to take him back to the shelter, but fostered him instead. So anyway, i really lucked out!

We wanted a male b/c i have heard for one, that is easier to introduce a male to a female instead of a female to a female...and we just wanted a male anyway...i cant wait to get them into some pics. Dandy is a little leary of him now, but i am sure she will get used to him. He doesnt seem to have a problem with her...he lived with 2 dogs and several cats before he came here.

When the foster mom was putting him in my carrier, she gave him lots of hugs and kisses and said if for any reason at all that he didnt work out, she'd take him back to her home. As long as he doesnt have Feline Aids...then this little boy has definitely found his forever home !

Congratulations on the handsome new addition to your family!:D
He has gorgeous golden eyes that remind me of Tubby & Peanut's Mom's signature.:cool:
Did you say how old he is? I hope he gets along with Dandy, I can't wait to see pics of them snuggled together!:)

Christiansmommy

They are guessing he is about a year old...Dandy is about a year and a half.

I think that he and Dandy will get along fine...she just needs to get used to another cat...he lived with them in foste care...so at least i only have to worry about one of them adjusting! And she is very easy going, so i think it will be okay!
:D :)

Yes Rachel and Logan, I am the grandma of this sweetie, and I was fortunate enough to be along for the trip which ended up with Guinness finding his forever home. He is just an amazing little boy. Coming home from the shelter, where we met his foster mommy, he was purring so loud we thought something was rattling in the car! I am not kidding! LOL! He chirps and is constantly giving everyone head bumpies and is soooo sweet!!! I am wondering if his new forever mommy and daddy will be able to sleep tonight with such a loud purring furbuddy tonight. :D Here is a picture I took earlier this evening. I have taken so many shots but they are a bit blurry so this is the best one of the bunch.

Oh and here is one of Pretty Miss Dandy Lion who is wondering what (or WHO) on earth has been brought into her palace! :D

He's beautiful.

Wow, he's got a 'high clearance'! Very long legs.
My Mr. Jones runs low to the ground!


Congratulations, Guiness, on your forever home and mommy!

Oh goodie, more pictures. These two will be simply beautiful together. He does have that Panther look. I sure hope Dandy will enjoy her new brother's company. She does look a bit perplexed in that last photo, like ...Whatever would they want with him, when they have me?

How do these two compare sizewise? I'm guessing he is small for a male and I know she is a petite miss. How did the first night go? Hopefully he knew he was in his forever home and was relaxed. How do you manage keeping them separated? Just confine him to one room?

03-16-2003, 07:15 AM
Aw , black & white..., it cannot be better!!!
Guinness has GORGEOUS eyes:

Oh my , I am glad you give this stunning boy a new forever-home!!! If you ever think he doesn't fit in ...., I'd love to give this boy a chance!!
But , just kidding, I simply know that this is one of those perfect re-homings!!!

What a handsome fella you are. I love the name Guinness Patrick. I'd love to name a male cat Tully (from Tullemore Dew, my favorite whiskey.) I'm sure Guinness will get along with his sisfur. They are both such do-di-do cats. ;)

Congratulations on your new addition, Robyn! Guiness Patrick is stunning! Beautiful eyes and coat, and a sweet character it sounds! :) What else could anyone wish for! I'm sure he'll get along with Dandy in no time.

I think that is the most un-relaxed I've ever seen sweet little Dandy. ;) :) I'm sure she was wondering who the new guy was, but she is such a sweety that I'm sure they'll be best friends in no time. :)

Congratulations Robyn and proud Grandma Pam. He is absolutely adorable and sounds like a real little lover boy.

And RoseTCC, I agree, he has great ground clearance. ;) :D Although it looks like he needs to fill out a bit. But I'm sure now that he's in a loving home and as he gets older that will happen. :)
