:) this is my first post on the cat side, be gentle! lol, well, my Mom has dragged me to the SPCA several times in the past month to check out all of the cats. She really wants a kitty, and would be a great mommy! My mom works at home, only has to go to her office once or twice a week, and lives in a big condo with a nice yard/garden and plenty of sunshine coming through the windows ;).. perfect place for a kitty! There's this "complex cat" named Squirt that always visits her, and he convinced her that she needs her own cat to love. My dog only visits occasionally, but he loves cats and little animals and wouldn't bother them at all.
We went to the shelter today (again :rolleyes:) and we love soo many of the cats there! omg! I just love the SPCA, to death! The cats there are all kept in a large area of their own with toys, beds, and wooden slats to climb on (it's hard to explain, but awesome!) and the friendly cats are in large play rooms together, 3 per room, with condos and toys and everything. Its such a cool place, and they let us go through and meet tons of these beautiful cats! My mom said if she doesn't adopt a cat, she definitely wants to foster because the people there are so nice and all of the cats are great. :) We narrowed it down to... 15 :rolleyes:! My favorite is a 8 month-old DMH calico named Baby, she was SO sweet, and they said she loves doggies! Here's her page (http://sspca.org/CatProfile.html?qryCatID=1407) on the website if anyone wants to check her out! If we do adopt her, we can't go back until next Tuesday, because we are going to Oregon next weekend. My mom really adores her too, but there are so many wonderful cats there :( it just broke my heart, they were all so friendly and just wanted to be held and petted. I tend to like the mostly white, patchy, DSH's, but my mom loves long-haired Calico's like our last cat (who lived for 18 years!), Peachey.
wow, sorry to ramble so much! I just wanted to let you all know that I might be visiting the Cat side much more in a couple weeks! :D any advice is also *very* welcomed and appreciated! Of course, any cat we get will be 100% indoors (besides the occasional walk through the garden on a harness/leash, if she tolerates it) and will be super spoiled. I'd love some recomendations on cat food, I heard Nutro has good quality kitty food but I really don't know much about the brands out there for cats ;)
Oh, I'm Erica by the way :) my doggy is Gonzo, a (cat-loving) Border Collie.
