    This is why I could never foster because I know that I'd get too bonded. Good luck.

    He's so cute!

    You sure he's not staying?

    Kimmy,

    NOPE! He's not staying. I have found it very difficult not to become attached to this little guy. But after giving it a lot of thought, I've decided that he has a MUCH better chance of finding a home than LuLu would, seeing as she's 3 years old.

    I went to Nancy's last night to schmooze with his sister. I got totally frustrated when I reached into her cage and she nipped me (after all this time????) and was combative. Once I put her in my arms, she settled down and purred. I just started to cry from frustration. She has become a real challenge. I have NEVER been able to NOT turn a feral cat around.

    I've been having reservations about bringing her to my house, as she'll have to be in a crate for a while till she gets used to my cats and all the scents. My place is SO small (two room studio) and if she comes here (it'll give me a better chance for one-on-one with her) that'll bring my cat population (temporarily) up to 10!!!!

    Well, Puff's sister Lucy has now taken up residence in the crate. She's doing MUCH better (thanks in part to Feliway!!) She's very calm, a little hissy but nowhere near what she was.

    Puff goes in for his "Big Lebowski" on Feb. 10th and then he'll be up at PetSmart for adoption.

    I'll post pictures soon.

    I'm glad Lucy is doing much better! I'm sorry Puff Kitty can't stay with you, but I hope he will go to a wonderful forever home. I can't look at the PetSmart kitties when I go there, because I always want to bring them all home with me!

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    We had a little drama today.

    I was taking Puff out of his crate (after he finished eating undisturbed) when his leg got caught in one of the bars!!

    I felt SOOOO bad! He screamed and then proceeded to bite me twice (totally not his fault) in the hand and hide under the bed. He got me real good and I soaked it in Hydrogen Peroxide (it's a staple in my house). He finally came out on his own and was not limping, which I was relieved at. My hand is killing me right now. But he forgave me and sat in my lap purring for over a half hour. I thought for SURE I had taken a giant leap backwards.

    We'll see how he reacts next week when he misses his "man marbles".

    Sandie,

    I will NEVER forget Mandy!!! So she never did come around, huh? Lucy can stay as long as it takes. I'm dying to take the cage down, as it's very inconvenient size wise in my tiny apt.

    I've committed to this and will not give up on her.

    Got up at 4:15 this morning to corral him into a carrier. He's now sitting in the dark waiting his trip to the white coats for his MANLY operation.

    Good luck, Puff - puff.

    He looks so much like my RB Dazzle! Dazzle had rings on his tail though, which made him quite unusual - spots on the body, rings on the tail ha haaa.

    Moos Mom, they are beautiful. Yes, things happen for a reason. That's how Bella found her forever home!

    Keep the Faith. Now that Lucy is warming up to things, perhaps they'll both be adoptable together.

    I kept Bob because he didn't do well with enclosures. I had to let him out of the pen.

    I am hoping that your temporaries find excellent permanent quarters.

    Oh Donna, they are way beyond BEAUTIFUL! That's wonderful news about Lucy, sounds like she's well on her way to becoming someone's loving and loyal companion. You've proven beyond all doubt what patience and love can do!
