LOL! I love the face in the last two pics! My mom often calls her Orientals "camel face"!

What a truly beautiful boy! Is he as laid back and relaxed as he looks?

Oh! Thanks you so much ladies! I love you all so much.

At first, he was very scared when he first arrived and I was really nervous about how anxious he seemed, but I was then equally surprised at how quickly he adjusted. This cat is amazing. I've always loved lap cats, but this one takes the cake! He literally is a velcro kitty. He follows me around everywhere, and as soon as I sit down, he's in my lap. I've never heard a cat purr so much and as loud as this one does! I love it! My stress levels have significantly decreased since he's come into my life.

As most of you know, I've been seperated from my husband and furries since around October. Unfortunately, he's not wanting me to take any of the animals right now, and I have been very lonely and stressed out...especially without my Marius. It really does make a difference when you have animals in your life.
I'm going to fight for Marius since he's MY heart kitty, but right now, I'm getting some push back and guilt about keeping the animals together. Marius and Sergei like to cuddle, and Sergei and Priya like to play, so I'm really torn as to what to do. The friend I'm staying with also only wanted me to have one kitty (which is generous of her as I'm really not paying much to stay with her), so I'm seriously thinking about looking for a place of my own, or at least an apartment where I could have two kitties. I have no doubt in my mind that Marius and Hunter (I'm starting to lean toward Phinehas) will get along. Their purrsonalities are almost identical...so I'm confident they'll get alone fine I just hate that I'm without Marius, but having a kitty has really helped with my sadness and stress. At least I know all of the animals are well cared for as Aaron loves them all too.

heidiv, yes, he has very short close-lying hair, but he does still shed

KAK, nope, must be the lighting. He's completely white, although when he was younger, he had a little grey smudge on his head which went away.

Camel face! HA ha ha...so true!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I'll defintely post more often as it really helps keep my mind from slipping back into my depressive black hole. This kitty has really helped too, and with my new camera, I'll be taking lots of pics!

**hugs**

HUNTER IS SUCH A BIG HANDSOME CAT!
I THINK THAT POUNCIERGE MY ORIENTAL SHORT HAIR AT THE TOP OF THE HEAP MAY WELL SET HER CAP FOR HUNTER AT THE VALENTINES DAY PET PARTY!!!
SHE LIKES THE STRONG SILENT TYPE.

Karen, I'm so glad I checked in tonight! Your new addition is wonderful and I'm so glad he is bringing peace to you. That's very special for you. I hope you can get Marius back soon and have your own place. As generous as it is for your friend to have you sharing space, I think you will enjoy being on your own.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Butter and I send you the BEST wishes, ever!!!!!!!
