2 more cats

[toughCookie]

well I did it, I just adopted 2 more cats!! from the humane society that was at petsmart. I brought one home with me today, and I have to wait till tomorrow to get the other one, she is getting spayed in the morning. one is a seal point siamese, 3 years old, she has litter box problems, but thats because she was an inside/outside cat, I think now that she is inside only, she will adjust, I hope... the other is speckled is the best way I can explain her, she is one year old and so loving, friendly!
of course while I was there there were 2 kittens that were calling out to me!! and one other kitten that was so quiet but when I petted her she reached her paw out to me and looked at me with those eyes, it hurt not to be able to take them... but they are so cute they will get adopted soon. its the older ones, I said after I got Patches and Charlie that if I ever got any more cats they would be older ones.

so, go ahaed and tell me Im insane!!! I swore I would not get more after 5!! but there in petsmart... I just could not say no...and I am never going back there!! so now I have the one cat in the bathroom, where there is only tile, I hope she learns the litterbox fast... and I will keep the other one in my room, separate from the others, and separate from each other, for a couple weeks anyway.

I will post pics tomorrow, I get the other one after 5.
one is called Gypsy and the other one is Angel, and I think I am going to keep the names and not change them.

I wasn't gonna get anymore after 3, but i've ended up with 11! I kinda try and avoid going to PetsMart, becuase I know I would just have to adopt a cat or two

4 was my stopping point.....well.......I have 11

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO glad you added these two new wonderful needy kitties! Enjoy.

4 may not seem like a lot to most, but for us it started out as just one, then another so the first one wouldn't get lonely, then it was the desire to have an orange one and then it was the desire to have an abyssinian. My place is small so 4 is enough, but I think I'd have a whole housefull--my fiance would kill me though Good luck with the new kitties. Can't wait to see pics tomorrow!!!

Oooooh yes you are insane, terribly insane, but that's just fantastic! You'll have to change your user profile to 7 fantastic feline family

And no secrets that I just love a seal point Siamese. Gypsy and Angel are great names.

That's wonderful!!! I'm so happy for you and the two additions!! I have three right now, and I'm only allowed one more and I've reached the limit that my boyfriend and I compromised on I wanted to have six, but Nate said no, TWO! so we settled on four. However, he has a VERY soft spot for kitties, and if one was in NEED he would never say no!! But you are right, kittens almost always get adopted fast. Hopefully they won't be brought back when they get bigger.

there was an orange tabby, 4 months old, named Jack, and he was calling me, very loudly! oh how I wanted him.. he looked like my Cookie, then there was Penny, she cried too. then the other one that was quiet.... they all just break my heart!!!!!

and you know I will probably end up posting at one or two pics tonight, LOL

I absolutely cannot go into petsmart again

Oh,how wonderful!! Congrats on your two new additions!! Can't wait to see pictures of the precious babies!!

I thought you weren't going to get any more cats-yeah right! I can't wait to see photos of your new cuties, the Siamese sounds beautiful. I love both the names Gypsy and Angel.

Congratulations!
They sound adorable!! I hope they fit in with your family! I am sure they will adjust nicely!

You got a meezer!! I have a soft spot for siamese cats. Congrats on adding two more to your cat family. If I wasn't a renter and actually owned my own house I think I would get more cats too.

Along with having to put up with Grasshopper's being a spoiled "only child", I have the same rent thing goin on. Hard to move with one cat, almost impossible with more. I once had thirteen in an apartment back east, but I didn't move in with them!!! I loved having multiple cats (sounds kinda weird, doesn't it - "multiple cats" - like they're cloned or something!) because they could keep eachother company and they're so much fun to watch and playwith! Lucky you!!!

Congratulations on the latest additions to your family You are going to love having them.

I am like you, every time I go to PetSmart I stop by to looking at the cats up for adoption and I want to take them all home (but usually I can manage a minimal level of restraint )

[Lillycat]

how wonderful!!!! congratulations to the cats and yourself!!! i know how you feel looking at the others ........we want to reach out to them all!! thats how i felt about the 2 cats i left in cape may n.j. that "hung out" at the cottage i rented this summer.if i had not located a person who "claimed" they belonged to her family.....they would have belonged to me!!! i still miss them! i, also, will go the older cat route from now on.....there is a need there also....again congratulations!!!

thanks everyone for your nice posts
3 or 4 times last night I went to check on the new kitty, and to pet her, give her attention, talk to her...
and the 2nd time I could see that she had been in the litterbox, not used it, but I could see little paw prints in there
and at first she would not eat from the food bowl, but would eat the few pieces of food I put on the floor, then I would put a few more...and she drank alot of water! the last time I checked her last night, she did eat from the bowl, and she would bath herself, so shes going to be fine, best news is she has used the litter box! so I don't think she will have a problem, I don't know why she had one wherever she was before, but so far so good here...
I'll post some pics tonight, I charged the camera last night..
