Need advice from my PT cat friends.

[Taz_Zoee]

Awww, Buddy is adorable!
I hope I didn't offend anyone with the comment about Meezers. I have no idea why he doesn't want one. Honestly, I don't even think he knows anything about them except how they look. Oh wait, maybe he watched Cats 101 with me before and did hear about how vocal they are.
He's never had a cat before Taz and I moved in with him, so he has no past experience with any breed.

So, I've decided to meet the two D's (Derek and Damian) on Saturday. I might even stop by there tomorrow or Friday to see if I can get a sneak peak at them. And then we will see how it goes from there. I should have Bruce go down and see the Siamese guys, but he is busy on Saturday.

[Pinot's Mom]

All I can say is good luck! I have never had more than one kitty at a time, so I can't advise. Keep us posted!

[Abby&Buddy'sMom]

I Looked at the pictures of the kitties, and those siamese pictured will look like Buddy, as they appear to be of the " blue-point" kind

All the others are so cute too

Good luck in your choice you make.... but Im sure whoever you choose will be the right one

So, I've decided to meet the two D's (Derek and Damian) . . . .

Oh nooooooo no no no!!!! That's NOT the plan! Now if I brought Bruce with me that might happen, but he's not coming! LOL Thanks Sandie!

Well, they keep adding kittens to the site. There are two more up now. Little tuxie boys. I do have another criteria and that is short hair. I have enough hair to deal with on the dogs and myself. So now there are three possibilities. There may be even more by Saturday.

I say go for it Cindy....I think Paizly will do ok with another kitty especially seeing she is the older one now and will be BOSS. I think that is a tortie thing BTW all my torties have always had to be boss even over the dogs. I was looking at the pics and the kitties are all so cute. ^_^

I really like the look of this little guy.



and this little fart



and OMG Damian looks so lost & sad. He will be hard to resist.



Will be waiting on pins and needles to see who becomes the newest member of the household. ^_^

Cindy, I say go for it. I love orangie males and they're usually very goofy and so entertaining. I'm sure that Paizly will accept a kitten much easier than an adult because it'll be smaller and less of a threat to her.

Having meezers can be very noisy if they're like my Pearl but my RB Starr was fairly quiet. He would squeak instead of meow. Sky also has some meezer in him and he's also fairly quiet. I'm sure it'll be hard for you choose which kitten to adopt because they're all so adorable. Good luck.

Under all circumstances- go for it. It is better someone like you adopts a poor free kitten (somebody for whom kitten is prio #1 and money prio #2) than somebody for whom the priorities are in a different order.
As for the choice- maybe you should bring Bruce to look at the meezers . He certainly has to learn about them
But that tuxie boy also breaks my heart.
Overall I second your decision to take a boy. I hope Paizley will get motherly feelings when she meets him

[Taz_Zoee]

Oh my gosh! I just stopped by to take a peak at the babies and they are soo teeny! There are four siblings, their names are Cheryl, Lacey, Damian and Derek. They always name the animals with themes. Can anyone guess this theme? I didn't even realize it until I came home and was telling Bruce about how they were playing.

So when I first got there Lacey and Derek were running around playing while Cheryl was sleeping on a shelf of the cat tree. I didn't even see Damian at first. He was sleeping inside a box that has kitty shaped cut-outs in it.
I really loved Cheryl's markings on her face, but I am dead set on a boy. So I think I'm leaning toward Derek. I didn't get to see Damian in action because he was sleeping. Also, I didn't see the Siamese bunch or the tuxie bunch. I am trying to get Bruce to go with me tomorrow night to see them anyway (I want him to see the Meezers).

The manager of the boutique (where I volunteer) was not around, otherwise she would have found someone to let me in to physically visit with them. Maybe tomorrow I can. I will also see if I can get my name on the adoption list (Shoot, why didn't I do that today? Just thought of it, darn!)

Oh, so while I was watching them, Derek pounced on the sleeping Cheryl. He chewed on her neck for a sec then licked her head a couple times and left. Then he came back and pounced on her again. She hissed at him and he was on top of her the opposite direction and he was attacking her tail. Finally she let out a LOUD meow (I heard it through the glass) so he left her alone and she curled up and quickly went back to sleep.

I can't get over how tiny they are. I don't even remember Paizly being that small when I first saw her. But I think she is in that first picture Cathy posted here.

Ok, I'll shut up now and update either tomorrow (if we go) or Saturday evening.

[Sonia59]

Go for it. They are all cute. Damian seems to be needing a good home, indeed.

[Randi]

They're all so cute!

I think some cats get along and others don't, just like people. So you never know which ones will fit together. But if they can be seperated for the first week or so, go for it! You'll soon know if they love each other or not, and then you have the possibility to get another.

[Taz_Zoee]

Thanks for all the replies! It seems the cat section is so much more active than the dog section. I remember it being opposite when I first joined. Luckily I have both and can enjoy both areas.

Anyway, while I would love to bring home ALL of these darn kittens I can only afford to care for one more. Even though Paizly is just two years old I still think of her as a kitten. Is two too much of an adult?
I know Bruce would not approve (even though he has nothing monetarily to do with it) of two more. And it is his house and he has to live with them so I have to consider his feelings. I just finally got him to agree to one more.

Here is my plan: I'll bring him home Saturday. He will go into the guest bedroom (poor Paizly will be booted out of "her" room) with the door closed for a few days. Then we will do the baby gate in the doorway while supervised for a few days. Depending on how that goes we will try the supervised open door. I'm hoping this will go well rather quickly because we are going on vacation the week of July 4th and I had planned on taking Paizly to my moms house. She doesn't have the room to keep Paizly and kitten separate AND away from her dogs. But we will just have to see how it works.

This morning while doing my stretches I kept asking Paizly if she wants a little brother. It's always during our one-on-one time in the mornings that I feel the strongest against getting a kitten. But then she starts play biting and rabbit kicking me and I quickly change my mind. I know she is NOT going to be happy at first. I just hope she can get along with him. I'm still so nervous about this whole thing.
