Last Friday was my birthday and my son and I were out shopping (he took me to Bath and Body Works, and bought me a couple of candles and some body lotion and spray). Since we were near a Pet Smart we decided to go look at the kitties. Well, we hadn't thought of getting another cat since Mac passed, Kimba seemed very happy as an only cat. Anyway, we were looking at the kitties and they were all adorable (of course), but two of them caught my fancy. One was a little tabby and white girl named Gracie. She was just the sweetest thing you would ever want to see, just wanted loves and pets from everyone. I loved her BUT, she needed to be in a single cat household, so that was that. She was just too shy around other cats.
So, we looked at another kitty named Cali. She was a gorgeous little calico girl with green eyes. Small, 4-years-old, and very talkative, i think she must have some Siamese in her somewhere. She was described as a little shy at first, but a total love. She came from a home where a man hoarded cats, he had 70 of them! So, she was obviously used to being around other cats. Anyway, we had an interview, were approved, and came home with Cali. She is not only fine with Kimba, she more than holds her own with him. Outside of a few hisses they are living together quite nicely, we didn't even need to separate them at all the first day! For my Kimba, that is amazing. He hisses at her and she gives him a look like "Is that all you've got?" and he gives it up. Cali loves pets, talks a lot, is not a lap cat (yet), and sleeps most of the day in my closet but comes out at night and is quite social.
I will try to get some pics up in the next week or so, but she hides until early evening. I don't know how to get pics from my phone to my computer, but I will try to figure that one out this week sometime. Anyway, I've been wanting a kitty girl for a long time now and now, I've got me one!
