I'll Soon Be One of You!!

[dukedogsmom]

That's right, I'm getting a cat! I am so excited. I wanted to wait until I at least got pics but I'm too excited to wait. If things work out alright, I'll be getting a 3 year old Seal Point Siamese. One of my coworkers has an elderly neighbor that has had to sell her house and can't keep the kitty. I don't know any more than that right now. I'm going to see if I can go see her on Monday and I'll get pics then. Since I'm going on vacation, the guy and his wife from work will take care of her until I get back. I don't even know her name. Also, if I don't like it, I may change it. Do you think she would accept a new name? I had a Siamese growing up and her name was Pooh Ling. if any of you can think of some good and unique names, feel free to put them here. I can't wait to fall asleep to a purring kitty and a snoring dog!

[rosethecopycat]

OOOH a Meezer.

One of my favorite names, I used on a foster Meezer.

Zazu!

Sort of neuter gender too.

Is your kitty a boy or a girl?


Can't wait to see pix!

:)

[dukedogsmom]

She's a girl. I can't wait, either! Now I almost wish I wasn't going on vacation. I love that name!

[QueenScoopalot]

Ditto on the Can't wait to see! A PURRFECT name will eventually hit you if all goes well. But one suggestion....for a week or so, use the old name, and the new, and gradually drop the old. ;) I trapped two feral beauties a while back, both polydactyl snowshoe Siamese crosses. Their brother, a tuxedo was a sweetie from day one, but "Suki", and "Suzette" were nasty lil' things! Small world we live in though. My friend Pat was in my car last week, and saw the picture of the meezer pair, and asked who they were. Turned out Pat's friend had adopted them, and had shown Pat pics just a few days before! Still a hissy pair, but Pat says her friend is in love! :D

[wolf_Q]

Congratulations! I can't wait to see what she looks like! :D Has Duke ever been around cats?

[catfancier]

I have some name suggestions:
Ra
Bast
Pasha
(Egyptian in origin, so maybe not so appropriate, but I think they're cool names for a cat). Actually Pasha and Ra were a couple of abyssinians who stayed at the cattery I worked at. Beautiful and lovely cats.

[cloverfdx]

Oh wow congratulations :D. I am very jealous ;), i cannot wait to "Meet" your little girl.

[kt_luvs_kitties]

I am sure you will fall in love as soon as you lay eyes on your new precious girl! I am so excited for you and your family. I wish you luck and am expecting to see pictures ASAP :D ;)

[krazyaboutkatz]

This is wonderful news!!!:D Congrats on your new kitty Val!!!:D

I can't wait to see her pictures. A new name will probably come to you after you meet her.:)

[guster girl]

I think Harp would be a cool name, because she's a seal point. :) Congratulations, by the way! Can't wait to see pictures of her!

[catmandu]

The Fopund cAts,hope that you choose an older Cat,one that is used to Dogs,and that he,or she,is the Cat,that you were looking,for!

[Laura's Babies]

Can't wait and it is great of you to take her in. Now that poor lady can rest assured her kitty has a good home. Hope you will send her pictures of her kitty from time to time.

[catnapper]

Doing a happy dance! I knew you wanted a cat so bad! I'm thrilled for you!

[flamepony12]

Yay! :D Congratulations! :D Can't wait for the pictures!! :D

[trayi52]

Congratulations, Val! I think I'll do that happy dance with Kim! I know it will be getting a great home with you.

Just wait about naming her until you get her home and it should come to you then. Hey, I can't wait to see pictures of your girl!

Willie:D

[Miranda_Rae]

OH, i envy you! Not fair! :p I want one. :) Congradulations! :D

[jazzcat]

Congrats Val!! That is wonderful that you are going to help out an older kitty. Can't wait to see pictures.

[Freckles]

Remember, her current name might suit her. That's the way it was with my Freckles. :) (she has freckles on her nose) I had no reason to change it.

[catfamily]

I'm so happy for you.Cats are the best.:D ;) :D

[lisalee]

Congratulations!! She sounds wonderful. I can't wait to see her pics! :)

[dukedogsmom]

I found out her name is Susie. I don't think I'm going to keep it. I really like Pasha but I think I'll wait until I see her. I got the people at work to give the woman my number so I hope she calls me. I want to see her Monday. If I do, I'll be sure to get pics.

[Killearn Kitties]

Ooooooh how exciting!! I'm so happy for you.

Can't wait to see your new kitty. :D

[prechrswife]

Good news! Congratulations!:D

[K & L]

That is so exciting....can't wait for the pictures!

[Uabassoon]

That's exciting news. I used to have a seal point siamese named Zasper.

[Logan]

Valerie, I know you have been doing some "cat dreaming" for some time now, so I am delighted that you can make that dream a reality now! Hope Duke will share your enthusiasm! I am NOT worried about a "meezer" holding her own with him if she needs to, though. Butter taught a few lessons when he arrived on the scene, and nobody (including us) messes with him anymore! LOL!!! :D

Cats and Dogs are a great mixture, or at least that's the way I have experienced it. I have four gentle souls in my dogs who all adhere to the "feline rules" of this house, set forth by Mimi and Butter! LOL!!!

Can't wait to hear more!

Logan

[Felicia's Mom]

Congrats on your new kitty.:D

[shais_mom]

Congratulations Val!
How exciting!!!
:) Can't wait to see pics!!

[dukedogsmom]

Well, I won't be getting her. The neighbor got rid of her a few days ago and didn't tell my coworkers :mad: So, I'm kind of angry about that. However, I'll feel better going to the SPCA and getting one there, anyway. I may go to the Humane Society tomorrow and just look and see what they have. They're a lot smaller but it's near the vets where I have to drop off Duke for tests. I'll feel much better adopting one from the Humane Society or the SPCA, since they have been homeless. Plus, I can take Duke and make sure it'll be one to get along with dogs.

[Killearn Kitties]

Sadly there are always loads of pets looking for homes. You'll find a cat that will fit into your home.

[trayi52]

Good luck, Val, I know you will find the right one that's just been waiting for you!

Willie:)

[dukedogsmom]

Thanks guys. Here's two kitties I'm very interested in. Haven't gotten to see them yet but will probably go on Thursday. They're closed tomorrow.
This is Elvis. I really want him.

And this is Salem, who reminds me of one of my brother's cats from a few years ago.
http://www.boomspeed.com/dukedogsmom/Salem.jpg
I'm really looking for an orange one, so maybe Elvis will be good. If not, I won't give up. Maybe the cat will pick me!

[kimlovescats]

How exciting! I had a siamese as a child, her name was Ginger!;)

Oops, just saw that you didn't get that one. Well, I am thrilled that you are going to rescue a pound kitty... and whatever color / breed it is, it will be one lucky cat!;)

[NoahsMommy]

hee hee, I like the title of this thread. :)

How exciting you'll be getting a kitty. Whomever you choose or whomever chooses you, I can't wait to see pictures.

I love Elvis...he looks perfect, but I'm partial to the orangies. ;)

Congrats and a wonderful decision!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm sorry to hear that you won't be getting Susie but I'm glad to hear that you now want to adopt one from the SPCA. I love orange cats too and Elvis looks like such a cutie pie. Good luck and please keep us updated.:)

[Killearn Kitties]

They're both beautiful! I can hardly wait until Thursday.

[jazzcat]

Elvis is handsome, I hope he and Duke like each other. The other kitty is adorable too.

Who knows maybe a different one will pick you and Duke. I can't wait to hear about it and welcome our new PT kitty!

[caseysmom]

I went to the local animal shelter last week to pay for caseys license and I tortured myself and walked through. This one kitty was grabbing at me he really pulled at my heartstring, I think when you get there the kitty will pick you.

[asterix]

Getting a new cat/kitten is always so exciting :p :D

[dukedogsmom]

I think the cat is picking me! Tenative plans are in the works for me to adopt moosmom's Doogie while I'm in Ohio visiting Anna_66 and Robilee. I'm getting so excited about it all. I hope everything works out for the best. Please pray that ol Duke accepts him without too much incident. I just can't believe I'm finally getting a cat. I'm so happy :D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Congratulations! I sure it all works out so you get Doogie. I know that would really help Donna out too. Good luck! :D

[Fox-Gal]

I just saw this. Val, I'm so happy your getting a cat and it looks like things are working out for both of you. It's just great news all around, for you, moosmom and Doogie.

[krazyaboutkatz]

This is wonderful news.:D Doogie has always been one of my favorites of Donna's cats and he's also an orangie with white so you'll be getting what you wanted too.:) I'm sure he'll fit right in.:D

[moosmom]

This is working out SO well!!!! I know that Doogie is gonna be real happy living in Fla., with Val and Duke. He's already got his Speedo, shades and sunblock packed!! :D

I'm confident that he and Duke will get along, as Doogie is a very laid back, mellow cat. When he first came to my house, Moo, who had to show Doogie who was the Alpha male in the house, pinned Doogie to the floor. Doogie got up as if to say, "Okay man, everything's cool!" They've been best buds ever since.

Check your email, Val. I sent you a better picture of Doogie.

[catnapper]

YAY!!!! Doogie and Duke... the names fit so well together. It was meant to be! Congraulations! Once again, PT prooves to be a wonderful place!

[dukedogsmom]

He is so gorgeous!! I never dreamed he would be so pretty. I'll have to make a sig soon. Or maybe Kay can do one for me :)

[cloverfdx]

I am sorry Susie did not work out Val. But adopting a PT kitty how exciting, Doogie is adorable i hope he and Duke get along well. Cant wait to hear the news.

:D

[Killearn Kitties]

You're getting Doogie??! Great news! I hope he fits in. You're going to Ohio to meet other pet talkers? How exciting!

[Kater]

This is so exciting, Valerie! I'm so happy for Doogie, Donna and YOU! :D

[moosmom]

Things are are finally falling into place! I'm heading to CT for a week on the 11th to do some job hunting. Since I have to pass through Ohio to get there, I'm bringing Doogie along with me and meeting up with Anna, RobiLee, Valerie and good ole Duke!!! :D:D:D

Here's our boy!!

[Kater]

What a handsome orangie!!! :D :D :D Look at those gorgeous amber eyes! :eek:
I'm so glad Doogie will be rehomed with such a great PTer!

[manda_moo87]

Ooohhhhh... he's such a handsome boy! :)
