Sleeping together? Out of wedlock (adoption)? What will the neighbors think?!:eek: ;)
Glad to hear Min and B are warming up to each other! YAY!:D
HOW SWEET !!!!!!!:D :DQuote:
I looked under the bed and Saw Min's tail and I thought it was odd that he was sleeping under the bed, so I got down and looked and he's right becide B
What a roller coaster! I hope she will warm up to you too, like she did with Minion. She is such a beauty and MinMin is a sweety :)
Yipee! I'm so glad Minion has taken to B! :D
I'm sure once she's feeling better she'll warm up to you and Dan right quick. And I don't think you have anything to worry about in terms of being able to adopt her. If the shelter has any problems, let them come and read this thread and see what a good mom you are to all your furkids and they shouldn't have a second thought about it.
Big hugs to Minion for being such a sweety, and to the doggies for welcoming her too. :D
What MARVELOUS news! I'm excited for you all.
Leslie,
I got your message last night. The shelter was without power for 2 days because of a violent storm on Sunday night. They ended up losing a cat :(.
I ended up driving the application over there on my lunch hour today so give it a day or so and you'll probably hear something. If I hear ANYTHING, I will call you immediately. And to answer your question, I have absolutely NO problem with you using me as a reference on the application! I never would've let B go to your house if I didn't think it was the right thing. ;)
I'm so glad to hear things are beginning to work out. Min sounds like a lovebug and I'm thrilled he's happy with her.
I think the reason she's not eating is because of the URI. She's gotta be eating and drinking, though, if she's using the litterbox, so I wouldn't worry too much.
As far as holding a grudge against the medication, she'll get over it.
I'm so happy for you!!!!! She's finally got a furrrrrrrever home!
(((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))
I missed this thread and when I noticed it it seemed far to long for a follow-up: But I did it and read the wonderful story of Minion (one of my favorites here) and B.
It's rather classical: first they are curious but very very careful, then there is some hissing and spitting but friendship comes soon after. The Ti/Miley situation is not normal.
BTW I remember that thread about Minion being sick and like 5000 people minus one idiot I thought it extremely tasteless to rate it. But you know I am sure it was just some chaotic thing and nothing personal and now we wish to see more pix of Minion and his little Lady B.:) :D
Leslie,
I am so glad to hear things are moving along for the kitties!!!
Sadly, for the sake of Fawn, she is back with Donna. She was just SOOOO miserable and the worst part is that she found this hiding place in the ceiling of my basement. She came out briefly to use the litter box when no one was around, but still was not eating/drinking water. Her URI was getting really bad and I didn't want it turning into pnemonia, which it may have because I was unable to medicate her when she's hiding in the ceiling of the basement.
I called Donna and asked her what she thought, she agreed that Fawn needs to come back home. She was just not adjusting and Minion wanted to be friends with her, but he stopped approching her, I think he was hoping she would approch him, which she was way too terrified to do. :( :( :(
It was so touching, when Donna came over to get Fawn, Fawn started purring, kneeding her paws, and inhaled the food and treats Donna brought to persuade her to come out of hiding. Fawn is extremely bonded to Donna. Donna said that aside from Moo, Fawn is the first cat that has been that attached to her....and the good news is that Donna decided to adopt Fawn. I was relieved to hear that, as I don't want her to go through this again. Fawnie was even purring and making biscuts while she was in her carrier because she had her "mom" back. It was very emotional.
Donna suggest we get a kitten because they are so easy to adjust. I am going to the shelter she volunteers at on Saturday to "just look" and see if anything jumps out at me. I have a soft spot for both tuxedo and orangies, so we'll see. I just want a friend for Min. I hope he's ok with a kitten.
Thanks for the help, everyone. This was the best decision for Fawn, and I don't regret it at all, especially seeing how happy she was when she saw Donna.
First let me say that Leslie made the absolute right decision!! If Fawnie had stayed much longer, she would've gotten alot sicker due to her immune system.
On the way home, I had the door to the carrier open with my hand in it petting her. She put her paw on my hand, her head on her paw and slept the whole way home. Since she's been home, it's back to normal. She's very happy being around everyone and especially sleeping with me at night. Last night she was begging me to play fetch. I have never in my life had a foster cat bond to me and my brood as much as she has. I called the shelter yesterday and asked them about adopting her. The Director of the shelter won't be in till next Tuesday so I'll have to wait till then. I can guarantee she will have no problem with Fawnie staying with me. She's still on Clavamox (hates it) but takes it 2x a day. Her sneezing has subsided somewhat which means it's working. I also have given her Diphenhydramine for congestion and so far so good.
Carrie on the other hand has me really worried and I'm calling the shelter again today. None of my cats were sick till I brought her in. I've been VERY careful about washing my hands each and everytime I go in there. She's not eating or drinking and her urine odor is VERY strong. I'm concerned about it turning into pneumonia. And that's not good for a 14 year old cat.
So Leslie and I are going to the shelter on Saturday to pick out a kitten for her. I think (IMO) that a kitten adapts so much easier than an adult cat who has been around a while. We'll find Min a buddy, I promise!! ;)
Oh - sad to hear that Fawn didn't adjust. :(
Aaawww -glad to hear she is where her heart belongs. :) :D
The description of her behavior on her way back to you says it all.
I hope she recovers quickly.
And yes, Leslie: I am sure a kitten will be Minion's best friend:)
I'm so sad that things didn't work out, but happy that she is happy again now that she is home. I'm surprised she adapted so easily at your house, Donna, but had such a problem with Leslie's house, was it the dogs maybe?
It appears Minion really does what a friend though, so I'm so happy to hear you'll be going to the shelter to find him one. Can't wait for the post and pics of the new addition. :D
And Donna, I'm so glad to hear you'll be adopting Fawn, although it sounds like she really gave you no other option. ;)
Things like this happen for a reason, though I am sad it didn't work out.
But it's good to know that you're still thinking of getting Minion a buddy. Best of luck in your search!
*HUGS*
OHHHH!
Leslie! My heart is soooo sad for you, but you seem to have Fawn/B's best interest at heart, and it seems that she really wanted to be with Donna. You gave it a good shot. And I know that Donna believes that too!! And now she is in a happy home!
And you will hopefully find a wonderful little soul of a kitten to be buddies with Min-Min!
My heart is soooo happy for Fawn and Donna! YEAA!
Keep us posted!
