    A New Addition to the family.

    YUP, that's right, I received another cat tonight.
    To make a long story short, he is a ragdoll mix, 8 months old and named Dennis. I am not crazy about that name, so I have re-named him.
    The woman who first had him, is named Liz. She got him from a farm when he was about 6-8 weeks old. The past two months he has developed behavioral problems by pooping in the house. He was fixed last month and had his shots. He has been checked by a vet and he couldn't find anything wrong. He says it is behavorial. Sooooo Liz's hubby has had enough, (he doesn't like the cat anyways), and told Liz that she had 24 hours to find another home for him or he was going to take the cat in the car and drop him off in another neighbourhood. She knows my love for cats, so gave me a call.
    I told her to bring Dennis over. I got some Feliway spray today in hopes that will do the trick. He has been here now for about an hour and a half, pooped and pp'd in the litter box, ate & drank, played with some toys and gave me a whole lot of lovins and big time PPPUUURRRSSSS!!!!
    It was hard to get some good pictures as he wouldn't keep still. All in due time.

    Okay, okay that is enough about Dennis. On with the pictures in the next post.

    He's gorgeous! Those little painted toes are just adorable!

    I'm willing to bet that his behavioral problems were triggered by the nasty hubby's dislike of him.

    That's what I was thinking also, because apparently the hubby would kick the cat away from him or pick him up and throw him.
    He never wanted another cat in the first place as they have one already plus a Great Dane.

    One thing for sure, Nugget will NOT be kicked or thrown ever again.

    You're right about the new husband, AbbyMom.

    Liz should just take him to a FAR AWAY neighbourhood, blindfolded, and drop him off. Preferably where everyone else speaks fluent Martian.

    What a beautiful little Nugget of gold! So happy he can still be so loving!

    I'm not that Liz, but my I once had a hellacious fight with my boyfriend, and he went after Don Juan (who was too fast for him ). You will notice that I have Don Juan, but the boyfriend is out of the picture.

    AWW! Thank you for adopting him and giving him the love he deserves!

    You know, there really should be a law on things so sickeningly cute.

    Lorraine! Your heart is just soooo big! How sweet of you to take in this poor, handsome guy. I love name Nugget, much better than Dennis. Maybe that was why he was pooping inapporiately, LOL!

    Congrats on the newest member! I hope the introductions go smoothly. Please have the camera standing by.

    Congrats on your new addition Lorraine!!! He's adorable and I love his name too. I'm so glad that your friend knew where to find him a new loving forever home. I'm also glad that he's far away from your friend's terrible husband.

    I hope that the introductions go smoothly and that Nugget has a very happy and healthy life ahead of him. I look forward to hearing more about him and seeing many more pictures of him

    What a beautiful boy he is!! Your friend's husband is a jerk! All your friend had to do was isolate him in a room by himself with a litterbox, food and water. He would've gotten the idea. Glad you came to his rescue. Your friend needs a backbone.
