    Welcome Marbles!

    OK y'all do know I've been kitty hunting. I had spotted a beautiful golden Maine Coon mix girl and was going to meet her today, however Wednesday night I decided on the way home to stop by San Francisco's Animal Control Shelter to see if they had any cats I might be interested in. They had many cats, but only two grabbed my attention. One was a little grey boy kitten named Buster who kept petting my face and around the corner from him was Marbles, a fluffy tortie kitten. Marbles stole my heart, but it was late, I was tired and not prepared to take a kitty home that night.

    The next day I couldn't stop thinking about her; Friday night I had to stop by the shelter to see if she was still there; she was. I had also been talking to Beau's meowmie about meeting her on Saturday.

    This morning Beau's meowmie called me all frantic; Beau was no where to be found, but she said she had other nice cats at the adoption fair, so I went. I went, I saw, I turned around and went to Animal Care & Control and .... I adopted Marbles.

    She's 6-7 months old, long haired, FLOOFY tailed, tortie girl. I forget whose cat here on PT had the tail named Clubber; We're going to have to name Marbles' tail too. Here are a few, not very good pics:







    She's a purry lapcat! We're having fun getting to know each other. Now if only she would potty!

    Congrats!!!! I'm so thrilled and excited for you. Marbles is gorgeous and I know that you'll have so much fun together. I'm sure that Mitzi had a lot to do with you two meeting each other.

    I think that Rocky,one of Jazzcat's Maine Coon mixes, has the tail named clubber. I guess that my Ziggy now has some female competition in this area.LOL I'm sure that she'll go potty soon so try not to worry too much. Now be sure to keep us all updated about her and we'll need to see many more pictures too.

    Aaaawwww Marbles! Welcome to you- you are an adorable girl
    And I know you will go potty when you really feel at home (in the case of Tigris it took him 8 hrs to pee first time- and then it was a big big lake ).

    Beau never came out of hiding so I didn't get a chance to meet her. I have a feeling Mitzi and Ceiling Cat had something to do with that.

    We spent the evening watching TV with Marbles purring and kneading in my lap.

    We've just had a morning zoom session - it's been a LONG time since I've had kitty zoomies in my house - so much fun! She's discovered the toy basket and seems to like balls the best. I now have a ping-pong ball somewhere under my bed ....I'm sure it's not the last one

    And, yes, she finally pottied, although not in the litterbox I wanted her to. I was planning on getting rid of the HUGE corner thing I'd gotten when I had both Mishi and Mitzi, but now Marbles seems to like that one better. *sigh* She's training me already - the little minx!

    Oh what wonderful news - and just look at that face - Marbles needs lots of kisses on that nose and those beautiful (innocent) eyes.

    I am happy for both of you - and may Marbles bring you much joy and live a long and happy life!!

    WOW!!!! She is just gorgeous!!! Her beautiful tail reminds me so much of Giz's.. Giz like to swipe you in the face with it whenever she can.. I wonder if you will be getting face swipes with that gorgeous tail of Marbles? It sounds like a perfect match for both of you.

    It warms my heart to read how you were able to help Marbles and hopefully in return, she'll be able to help you heal. Keep the wonderful photos and stories coming. They help all of us.

    Time helps the sadness subside, but the memories remain forever.

    Sometimes nothing helps us heal as much as another little soul who desperately needs a home. Yes, I do believe Mitzi set the whole thing up! Enjoy you little tortie girl!
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!
