Hi Jen, I just wanted to update you on dear little Pouncer. He's growing like a weed and is getting so big! He eats like a monster and anybody would swear we starve him (well, according to his insistant meows! ) He and Allen (cat brother) are bascially inseparable and sleep together everynight. He has taken to liking to drink from the sink when I leave it on a drip for him - the cat I had growing up did that and I wanted to have him do that too. Well, my husband can't shave in the morings because Pouncer's sitting in the sink, waiting for him to turn the water on! He has been an absolutely good boy, except for dinner time... he begs terribly and won't take no for an answer. Poor Nicki (our dog) has a complex about eating her "cookies" now... whenever she comes in from outside, we give her one and if she doesn't eat it in one gulp, Pouncer's right under her picking up the crumbs. He certainly is a lot of fun and you were right, he is a lap cat. He purrs so loud and will jump up in your lap and fall asleep. The other night, Grant was petting our other cat, Allen, and Pouncer came in and meowed like mad. I thought he wanted to be with Grant and Allen, so I picked him up and put him with Grant. He jumped down and ran over to me meowing again. I picked him up and put him in my lap and the little guy was alseep within a minute! He also is a superior bug cather. He loves moths and flies and is amzingly accurate in bug removal. Only once he caught a bee and got stung... he didn't chase after them again! I post occasionally about Pouncer on a message board... if you're interested in reading about him and other cats, the board is ivillage com. The message board is cats. (they have ones for kittens and dogs and everyother pet imaginable) Thank You so much for him!

Ahh, what great news. I am sure it does your heart good to read what a great home Pouncer has found!! Great news. I too, email the woman who fostered Guinness before i adopted him...and she just loves hearing about him!!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Awww...Jen, it must be so wonderful for you to receive these posts and to hear how good he is doing. It's so nice of her to keep you updated, and to send pics even!

And maybe since she's already on another board you could suggest PT and get her over here. ;) :D

He is getting so big I hardly recognized him, but it looks like he has an absolutely wonderful home and loves his big brother very much.

Awwww......:D

Good Idea, We want Pouncer mummy over here !!! :D

PS. Great update story & photo.

Are you guys kidding???
The instant I found out that she posted to another message board I wrote to her about pet talk (and how great it was and how they all new Pouncer already......etc) My fingers could not type fast enough. :D So I hope she decides to check up out.
I even went so far at to say if she signed up as "Pouncer's Mom" that I'd bet everyone would ALREADY know who she was. ;):D

Pouncer is so adorable! That picture is also just too sweet for words :) It must feel so good to hear about what a good home that sweet kitty went to. I noticed that Pouncer (I'm assuming he was the smaller one) seems to have rather short, rounded ears. Is this a breed characteristic or is just one of those things that are different on every cat? I was looking at Boomer and he has rather long and more pointed ears

lol! I guess I've never really thought about it before

[jenluckenbach]

Ears can be breed specific, but I'd say they simplyvary from cat to cat.
And yes, for the newcomers, Pouncer is the brown tabby. He is Bonnie's kid. Bonnie was my first foster and she had 4 babies who were all successfully placed. (and I kept Bonnie when she was unsuccessfully placed)

What a wonderful update on how Pouncer is doing.:D Thanks Jen for sharing it with us.:) :)

[Randi]

This is truely heartwarming. :) So good to see Pouncer found the right place - I can tell by the update that he is very loved, and Allen and him seem to love each other. It's just perfect! :D

Love the picture!!

[gini]

Jen, so many babies need good homes that it must really warm your heart that Pouncer has been placed in just the perfect forever home.

He sounds as though he is full of personality and able to express himself to the fullest in his secure and loving home.

Congratulations on the good work!

I hope Pouncer's Mom joins us and we get to watch him grow up.

Thanks for sharing.

Pouncer is such a sweet looking cat!! Also seems to have a purrfectly wonderful big brother. I really loved that picture and also the way their mom lovingly wrote about them. I also wrote and sent pictures to the previous owner via the shelter - it was a woman vet that someone dumped a basket of cats on her steps. I never heard back but I think she would have been glad to know that at least two of the babies had happy homes. :) The shelter where she volunteers put together a fundraiser calendar for 2004 and I got a notice that Emily and Eliot are in a collage!! They did not get their own month - but they are in the calendar! I need to drive up to the county (about 30 minutes) and get a few of the calendars!!
Anyway - great that you are able to be in touch with your previous foster baby!! :D

I'm so happy for Pouncer; I agree he looks happy in that pic. And he has already found a kitty friend - reminds me a lot to Luna and Lily! :)

Jen , I loved the picture of Pouncer and Allen. And somewhere , in Cat Heaven , a little Angel named Pouncer is happy that there is a namesake , and that you have made sure that she has such a Wonderful Guardian. Pouncer and the Cat Angel Army thankyou , Jen and Charles Luckenbach.

Oh my, that Pouncer sure is beautiful! And that is a great picture too. So so cute!!! Well, since I am new, I don't know much about Pouncer, but this sort of tells it all. So glad he has a great home now and you can tell, like everyone else said, that he is very much loved.

I tried to foster a few times and just can't. I fall in love too quick (Instantly) and then can't give them up. And then of course, no-one is good enough, LOL!! See, in my small pea-brain, I seem the think ALL the worlds cats belong to me!

I am so glad you are able to do this, it takes a very very special person to be able to foster--you are the best!

[Steffi N]

It is wonderful to hear that Pouncer is happy and loved in his new home and has made a special friend.

[rg_girlca]

Aww Pouncer sure is turning into one adorable looking kitty. What a great picture and update on him.
It's such a blessing to be able to hear how well one of your fosters are doing in their new home.

Thanks Jen for sharing this with us.
Truly makes my day.
