Me...a meowmie in the making?

[popcornbird]

A few weeks ago, we had ANOTHER cat. This story has a happy ending. The cat was a 7 month old kitten...someone's pet with a collar. It came meowing at our door. My mom opened the door, and it walked right in. It was a very friendly, playful, hyper cat. It walked right in, ran up the stairs, walked into my room, and decided to lie on the bed. Then, it hopped on my computer desk, then onto the shelf, and then jumped down. I immediately thought, "Johanna's Monte must be just like this cat! SO naw-tee!" He he he.

I ended up holding the cat, and reading the number on its collar. When I called the number, the lady who answered was thrilled and said her indoor cat slipped out, and was missing for two days. She came immediately to pick her pet up, and was so grateful. The kitten's name was Toby. I told her Toby is always welcome to visit again.

Here are some pics of Toby.





I guess that briefly sums up my recent kitty adventures. Just wanted to share the stories/pics with you all. I can't bring the cats inside...I have birds and they hated it when I *did* bring them in, so I'm planning on buying a covered plastic 'box' or something, with an opening, and filling it with blankets, etc. to keep the cats warm when its cold. My mom and I will be going shopping together tomorrow to look for something like that. Jeez. Does this mean they're going to end up joining the family? They have names, we bought tons of cat food for them, they get treats, they get love and scritches, and now some shelter to keep them warm. What's next? Popcornbird is turning into a meowmie? Wah! Can I join the cat club on PT? LOL!

WOW! Such adventures. And such beutiful kitties.

You have obviously been chosen by these cats.

(p.s.) Toby is the spitting image of my little Kim)

Such a story! These homeless babies obviously need food, loving, and a safe home...and it looks like yours is IT! They have become pretty trusting of you and your family, that's a lot to accomplish in a few months! Bless all of you for looking after them.

You just have to wonder what miserable so-and-so just dumped them to fend on their own.


Too bad people who do that can't be plucked up by a giant hand, unceremoniously dumped into a jungle with no defense, no one to help, and nowhere to go..

Smart kitties!! I think cats can sick suckers a mile away and know which house to go to for food/love. I hope that everything works out with the kitties. Being a meowmie is one of the greatest adventures!

Welcome to the Cat Side (bwahahaha) Once you are in the know with cats, you'll never turn back. Congrats to our newest cat lover!

Both kitties are amazingly pretty/handsome. I'm sure Emmy will come around - their progress is great in just a few months!

Em is a fine name if he turns out to be a boy - thats what I called my last male foster.
