She very likely is a Himalayan/Siamese.. three or four others of her housemates from Simon and Kristine's home are Himmies.

Have your friends found homes for their 11 cats?? I keep thinking of old kitties with no place to go and I get so sad. Please keep us updated.

Ms. Lavinia, you are a beautiful lady. I'm sorry you lost your home, but I'm so glad you are safe with Pat!

Congrats!!!

Welcome home Lavinia.

Aaaww Lavinia- what a sweet little kitty girl you are.
Lots of nosekissies for you and welcome at Pet Talk.

I replied more thoroughly in the other thread. There are three left now. The others have found homes, including two of the very oldest who are now at the no-kill shelter where I used to work.

Two of the three (two mid-life boys) may be getting new homes.. Simon was talking to someone interested in them yesterday. The remaining one, also very elderly, will probably come to me too. Seven cats is a bit much here, but I hate for her to be left all alone at her age. She knows me and Lavinia, and it's nice and easy-going here.

Cassie wants to know if she may sit by Lavinia on a future Catmobile trip. I told her Lavinia might not be ready to go just yet because she is still settling in; let's give her some time. Cassie sends purrs and headbumpies to her fellow "teenager" kitty!

Lavinia says "Of course Cassie may! I can't wait to meet her!"

She is considering whether she's ready to join in on the Penguin Party in the Park or else wait until the next adventure.

Hi Lavinia, Welcome to the wonderful life of a PT kitty! As you will soon find out (if you haven't already), we PT kitties get the very best of everything. I'm happy to know that you're settling in and getting used to your new home. You'll be loved and cared for beyond measure.
We would love to have you join us on a Catmobile trip! You'll love the eco-friendly hybrid Catmobile. The trips are loads of fun with lots of tasty food and great kitty company. And we always make super new friends. If there's someplace you'd like to visit, just let us know and plans will be made. Be sure to give us your cell phone number! We'll let you know about future trips.
My Meowmie says you're a beautiful kitty girl and she'd love some snuggle time with you. She sends you lots of scritchies and lovies

I can't wait to meet you.

Your friend,
Groucho

Poppaea is about 20 years old! She's a very sweet grey girl with white trim, sort of like Edwina and Eddie. I'll take pictures and post them as soon as I can.

I am taking a trip to Dexter, MI (about 15 miles away) tomorrow morning, to see if I can sell some old photographic equipment I have to a camera store there, and while I'm there to have coffee with our very own Gretchen (a.k.a. Grace)!

The kitty boarding house where Poppaea is staying is on the way, so on the drive back I'll pick her up.

I don't really know how it's going to be to manage seven cats in my little two-room apartment, but I couldn't see letting these two elderly ladies go to a shelter out in Hartland, MI (some 35 miles away, where Simon was going to take them if no one adopted them), yet another new place for them that I've never been to and know nothing about how they care for their cats, though Simon said it's a no-kill place.
