New to the whole cat thing *pics*

In my other post I forgot to tell you how adorable Max is.I love orange kitties.He looks right at home.

I just wanted to let you guys know, I think I found out what happened to Max. It makes sense. I'm almost 95% sure he is currently homeless, that won't be the case in about a week or two, but anyway. He might have been owned at one point, he was in again tonight, NOT For the night because he hasn't been to the vets yet. He seems very used to a house, but not quite sure. He comes late at night sometimes around 8ish, which most people let their outdoor cats in around here at around 5 or 6. He has no collar, is not neutered, so it doesn't match up. I was watching the news when a story came up that said more pets are being abandoned because of finicial issues in families and forclosures. That could have been what happened to Max, maybe he was scoping out a new home? It looks like he found it. I can't tell you how happy I am! He brightens everyones day, My dad doesn't seem to like him but I know he'll love him within a week.

I think he wants to be all indoor, because he was really reluctant to go out this morning and tonight. We have to get him fixed up, and FIXED lol. Maxxie has an ear infection to or maybe ear mites? We'll make a vet appt. soon. My mom called her friend to reccomend a good vet. She also realizes de-clawing is NOT the way to go.

I knew that Max would end up working his way into your hearts. Now all that stand between him and the indoors is a weenie whack and then he's home free!

OUCH! Weenie whack!?! Congrats on the newest member of your family!!

[Medusa]

OUCH! Weenie whack!?!

LOL

I just wanted to let you guys know, things are almost *official*. We're 99% he doesn't have an owner. He was here practically all day, and was on the leather couch! It was only a few weeks ago my mom said he'd never be allowed inside. I asked her where he would sleep and she gave me a weird look and said "either your bed, my bed, or on his bed. Where do you expect him to sleep, your floor?". I think he's going to be a 100% indoor cat, I do NOT like the idea of keeping him outside and he seems to like the indoor much better. It looks like he wants a cozy life.

My mom called her friend who owns a kennel and a person who is considered the cat lady in our town LOL. She said he sounds like a stray who is being fed by someone else, but she is pretty sure he is not owned. His condition isn't all that great. He is skinny, has ear mites or infections in BOTH ears, possible breathing problems, and is not neutered. He's a very tense cat in the house when weird appliances go on but other then that he is fine. We will be taking him to the vet next week then he can stay in our house. I may have a few questions for you guys in the next few weeks MUCH MORE pics will come!

THANK YOU to all people who prayed and thought of me about Max being owned! It worked!

Foor less than A cheezeburgur a day,
U can adop dis kitteh.

He didn't come back today. I was stupid to think this would ever go my way or work out. My life sucks =( People might think I'm being overdramatic or whatever but this is how everything turns out for me with pets. JUST nothing works out. For instance when Sas was diagnosed with arthritis we tried acupuncture to make her better. It didn't work and the result ended her life. We tried to adopt a dog in mid-2005. The dogs didn't get along. Seriously, NOTHING ever works out. It might not be a big deal to some, but it was for me..I wanted a pet in my life again.

He might come back, but I'm doubtful. This is how my luck is. It runs out at the last minute. I'm feeling the heartbreak of losing a pet ALL over again.
