Oh! Thanks you so much ladies! I love you all so much. :)
At first, he was very scared when he first arrived and I was really nervous about how anxious he seemed, but I was then equally surprised at how quickly he adjusted. This cat is amazing. I've always loved lap cats, but this one takes the cake! He literally is a velcro kitty. He follows me around everywhere, and as soon as I sit down, he's in my lap. I've never heard a cat purr so much and as loud as this one does! :eek: I love it! My stress levels have significantly decreased since he's come into my life.
As most of you know, I've been seperated from my husband :( and furries :( since around October. Unfortunately, he's not wanting me to take any of the animals right now, and I have been very lonely and stressed out...especially without my Marius. It really does make a difference when you have animals in your life.
I'm going to fight for Marius since he's MY heart kitty, but right now, I'm getting some push back and guilt about keeping the animals together. Marius and Sergei like to cuddle, and Sergei and Priya like to play, so I'm really torn as to what to do. The friend I'm staying with also only wanted me to have one kitty (which is generous of her as I'm really not paying much to stay with her), so I'm seriously thinking about looking for a place of my own, or at least an apartment where I could have two kitties. I have no doubt in my mind that Marius and Hunter (I'm starting to lean toward Phinehas) will get along. Their purrsonalities are almost identical...so I'm confident they'll get alone fine :) I just hate that I'm without Marius, but having a kitty has really helped with my sadness and stress. At least I know all of the animals are well cared for as Aaron loves them all too. :(
heidiv, yes, he has very short close-lying hair, but he does still shed ;)
KAK, nope, must be the lighting. He's completely white, although when he was younger, he had a little grey smudge on his head which went away. ;)
Camel face! HA ha ha...so true!
Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I'll defintely post more often as it really helps keep my mind from slipping back into my depressive black hole. This kitty has really helped too, and with my new camera, I'll be taking lots of pics! ;)
**hugs**
Wow, he is so handsome!!! Congrats!
I hope you get things worked out with your other kitties too but I'm so glad you have some adorable company with you right now. Please keep us update with lots of pics. :)
Oh man I am so sorry that life has handed you such a terrible hand. Your new kitty looks so sweet I am glad to hear that he is helping you through your tough times. I would fight for your other kitty if that is what you want. You should at least get that I would think????? So glad to hear about your kitty,they really do heal you in times of need. He might be the healing soul you have needed for awhile. You take care ;)
Seems like this kitty knows exactly what you need right now...lots of cuddling, purring and staying close! What a beauty he is, and how fortunate that he has come into your life when you need him the most (and he needs you, too!).
sounds like he's settling in quite well. I hope you find a happy solution to all your other problems soon.
Meanwhile, relax and enjoy this darling boy!
Oh Karen! He's beautiful! Love the bat ears and that kissable nose (I have a thing for kitty noses). Phineas? The name suits him! :D
Thank you all so much!
Yes, he indeed seems like the healing soul that I've needed for awhile. So nicely said, heidiv. It really is amazing how kitties seem to know what their humans need.
He really makes me laugh with his huge bat ears and silly expressions. He seems a bit clumsy at times too, but maybe that's because he's only ever been in a cage in the male kitty room, so not sure how much actual play time he got. Sometimes he'll leap into the air when I'm playing with him and instead of landing on his feet like most kitties do, he usually ends up falling to the floor. Poor boy. He's getting better though, the more I play with him, so he'll be graceful yet! ;)
I'll be sure to take some pictures over the weekend.
**hugs**
HUNTER IS SUCH A BIG HANDSOME CAT!
I THINK THAT POUNCIERGE MY ORIENTAL SHORT HAIR AT THE TOP OF THE HEAP MAY WELL SET HER CAP FOR HUNTER AT THE VALENTINES DAY PET PARTY!!!
SHE LIKES THE STRONG SILENT TYPE.

Karen, I'm so glad I checked in tonight! Your new addition is wonderful and I'm so glad he is bringing peace to you. That's very special for you. I hope you can get Marius back soon and have your own place. As generous as it is for your friend to have you sharing space, I think you will enjoy being on your own.
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Butter and I send you the BEST wishes, ever!!!!!!! :)
Logan
WOW! That is one handsome cat!! Congratulations! :)
Oh Karen, the contours of his face are just stunning! They take my breath away. I think your photos show off his features and purrsonality much more than the breeders photo.
I'm so sorry you've been seperated from your other four. :(
Nah, I was in a production of Bat Boy about 18 months ago, and this guy is MUCH better looking. :DQuote:

He is absolutely stunning! I am so glad to hear that he is already enjoying himself. What a lucky kitty to have found you. :)
Karen I am just seeing this now and didn't realize all of the changes that you have been going through lately. ((((hugs)))) I do know the healing power of animals and it looks like Hunter(?) is already helping. You know that I have always been Marius' biggest fan :) and I hope that your new little guy and Marius might be able to be best buds at some point. It sounds like their personalities might just lend themselves to that happening. Make sure, when you do the introductions, to have a few dozen shoes around for Marius to put him at ease. :D
I can't think of any names for your new handsome boy but I like just about all of the ones you are considering. I know what you mean when you talk about the association between a person with a certain name and then using that for a cat name or the other way around. When my daughter became pregnant she said she would have liked to consider the name Andy for her baby but since I already have a *feline Andy* she would always be thinking of my Andy whenever she spoke to him. :) I will follow this thread carefully and am so happy that you will be posting more. I have missed you!
Karen, I'm so glad to hear that Hunter is making you feel less depressed and more at ease.:) Animals are wonderful and I can't ever imagine not having at least one in my home from now on. I hope you'll be able to get your own place soon and I also hope that you'll be able to get Marius back. I know they would both get along wonderfully.:) How do you pronounce Phineas?
Aren't animals just the greatest thing. They give you unconditional love, nurse you back to health and all around just give you so much joy.
I am happy to hear that Hunter is helping you through your trying times and pray that you will be able to find your own place and are able to bring your heart kitty Marius back home.
Hunter is quite a handsome boy.
All the best to you. :)
Thank you so much everyone, for your very sweet comments. :)
I think I'm going to officially go with Phinehas (pronounced like finn-EE-us) for a name. He already seems to be responding to that. I went back and forth a bit between Seamus and Phinehas, but he seemed to respond more to Phinehas. I'll be sure to make an official introduction thread for him soon! :o
Gary, I'm sure Phinehas would find Pouncierge to be quite stunning, and would be honored to be her valentine ;)
I'm still torn about seperating Sergei and Marius, and would love to take them both, but then poor Priya wouldn't have anyone to play with. I know I can't take everyone, and Aaron loves them all too, so it's definitely a tough decision. Aaron's mom is having surgery in Feb, so he will be going back to Indiana for that. I know it's underhanded, but I may use that opportunity (since I'll be taking care of the animals and home during that time) to take Marius before Aaron returns. Is that bad? :(
I'm hoping to find a place on my own, but again...that will be difficult, because most of my salary goes to paying for the house, so I'm not sure I could afford apartment rent without using my full salary. I just hate this junction in my life. It's so upsetting and confusing. :( I really do appreciate all of your support, and Phinehas has been a really huge help of late.
I did take more pictures of him, so will hopefully upload them and post more soon!
**hugs**
Oh my lord, I nearly fainted!!
What a handsome hunk of a cat!!! He is gorgeous :eek:
I think there's going to be a fan club on Pet Talk for this lovely fella!
The last picture is just divine, he's too good for the camera :D
I have to fan myself down now, hehe.
LOL Thank you CultureJunky! Phinehas sends you some very loud purrs for your compliments. :DQuote:
