Three cats

Kelly, I really envy you fo having three kitties. When we had Vasile, Naomi and little Juni, all three of us had a kitty to sleep with. Now we fight over who takes Juni. She is the most reasonable. She sleeps a little with me, then a little with my sister, then she goes to my brother. But almost always I wake up with her on my head and get the cuddles in the morning. :)
Pictures with Noah and Basil are so beautiful. Their relation is exactly what Juni and her father Vasile had.

Of course 3 isn't too much! I think it's the perfect number...do Marius and Scooter like Crookshanks??

They seem curious about her, and I think they're getting used to her being in our backyard. I have her foodbowl right up against the back sliding glass door, so Marius and Scooter usually watch while she eats her food.
Aaron, however doesn't want her to come in, because we just don't have enough room. My mom would take her too, but my dad would throw a fit. Poor Crookshanks. I'm sure she'd make someone a good pet! :(

Poor little thing, at least she has you to feed and care for her. I bet that makes her happy. :) What does she look like?

Here she is!! :D You can see her broken tail in this picture. Poor little thing. I wonder how it happened, but the vet said it was healed that way and probably doesnt hurt :(

How on earth can Aaron resist that cute face??? She's so cute!!! Does she "talk" at you? Is she real friendly?

Do you guys live in an apartment or condo? Are you allowed pets?

LOL LOL I think Crookshanks must have been someone's pet before. Yes, she does talk at us! :D She has a really chirruppy sounding meow and she always follows me up my front walkway to the door. Poor little thing. I feel so bad having to shut the door in her cute little face :( I think she would make a good indoor pet. She's probably a little rough around the edges, but nothing that a little TLC can't cure!
We own a house, but Aaron just won't have another cat inside. He said that 2 is enough inside our small home. If only our home were bigger. It is kinda gross that our only option to keep those 2 huge litter boxes is in our kitchen! :eek: Scooter's cage takes up a large part of that too. If only we had a basement (sorry, I'm from Indiana where basements are a norm! LOL LOL ) or an actual laundry room. Oh well...I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for a possible home for her...
any takers?? ;)

Noah the Dadcat

Isn't it interesting the way male and female cats behave regarding new additions, not their own kittens. Grasshopper (female) will not let another cat live with us (we've tried!) However, years ago I had a cat that had a litter of six. One day I went into the room where the kittens were kept, and there was Meatball, my neutered male Siamese, curled up in the kitty bed with all six kittens "nursing" on him! He was giving Aqualung a break, she was pretty tired at the time. Aphrodite, the other female (we thought Aqualung was a male when we got them!), wouldn't have anything to do with them!!!!
WTG, Noah!! I am sure when Basil gets a little bigger Noel will develop a tolerance, if not a love. Maybe she's jealous of Noah's new found "baby"?

Hey, Karen, not all Indy houses have basements...we opted not to build one because the soil here is like concrete and has no drainage...would have been a really nasty indoor pool, but I know what you mean, it's nice to have one - specially in tornado season.

Kohala, I don't think miss prissy Ritz would take to a new kitty in the house either. She gets irritated when the neighbor cat traipses onto the deck occasionally..I've often wondered about whether she would be lonely because when we are both at work she has no one to play with, but she does not seem to handle change well, I have a feeling she would be a lot like our Pet Talk friend Logan and "Wonder Butter" with Mimi...I would take on just about any kitty if left to my own devices-not sure Ritzy would share in the enthusiasm

What's interesting is that what I've read about ferrel cat communities is that several females will nurse each other's kittens--interesting that female house cats are not so 'open' to motherhood!

Ritz is such a close companion to both my spouse and myself...for now we will stay a one kitty household. Ritzy Rules!

You're exactly right about that, Tuxluvr. I thought I was a one cat household too, and then came Butter, and what was I to do? Mimi STILL to this day hates him, but she does tolerate him. You don't find them in the same room at the same time very often. :eek: And he is very respectful of her too.

Of course, Mimi's newest nemesis is the two extra dogs we have, who are quite curious about cats. They chase those two constantly, and Mimi and Butter have learned to tread softly and quietly so that Murphy and Splash don't see them.

Don't you know my poor senior girl is wondering what in the world I am trying to do to her? Poor baby. :(

Ritzy is such a beauty.
I can say, females are more territorial than males. My parents' cat - Pantera rules the neighborhood for 11 years now, and even she brought herself once a one-eye pitiful male, that died in some years, as her "boyfriend", she never accepted other cats, even her own kitties after they grew up.
Our Juni, after Naomi stoped nursing her, found much more love and attention from her father Vasea. He taught her everything.

Wolflady....

It is a decorating -- and gardening -- technique that three is the most appealing number. When hanging picture, arranging objects -- it is in threes. When I took a gardening class they said the same thing -- plant in threes (or at least in odd numbers.)

So there is your argument for Crookshanks!

Wow, I've been a natural all along - except in my feline population! I will remember this when Grasshopper goes to RB. Of course, I won't tell Dadcat where I got the idea of the three new cats, he'd "hair up" big time! Now if it were horses - - - ;) ! I must admit, tho, that I'd gladly stay a one-cat human if it would keep her with me for the rest of my time here!

Jeesh! Three is ENOUGH!!! I had a Mary Kay party for a friend tonight and Noah coped a MAJOR attitude. He isn't too crazy about people anyway, but the people who were here know not to touch him...well, just as my best friend was saying "Noah is a sweetie to me, he likes me" he bit her! He broke skin in three places!!! I just thank God that she has four kitties at home...otherwise I'd be worried. When I went to him to see what was wrong, he growled and snapped at ME!! :eek: :eek:

Yes, three is enough!! :)

I was just thinking that exact thing! ;) I heard that recently too (but after I planted my garden :( )
Also, the number 3 has always been my lucky number :cool:

Seriously though, what's the differance between 2 cats or 3? That's what I said to my hubby when I brought a 3rd kitty home- I also said it was a foster and that we could give him away when a new home came along (knowing that he would get attached..........sneaky, I know)
