More Dylan

[sirrahbed]

Hi Felicia's mom,
I lost my last two geriatrics in the past couple years. One was my very favorite RB Bert, who was a lovable male orange. The last to cross was RB Ernie who died this April. We immediately went searching for another cat and instead found two kittens needed adoption and who had to go as a unit because they were very attached and I gladly took them and am very happy with them! I had never had kittens before and they have been great fun!! But, I still wanted my sweet male orange and so have been searching the shelters. I thought I had the perfect one a few weeks ago but he was adopted before I got there. I wanted just the right cat - adult but not too old - had to be male and orange and with a sweet personality. I posted all about my searches and it has been great fun to share. I "found" Dylan and posted his picture from petfinders before I even went to see him and it was just a match as soon as I met him And so, I have been overwhelming PT with day to day pics and stories of this new addition! That's the nutshell version You can tell I am quite proud and happy with my newest kitty. He can barely pee without me posting about it Right now, he and Eliot are lounging on the hammock and it is all I can do NOT to post a cute picture! I will save THAT for tomorrow!

Our Sunny is a really big cat, too. People always comment on it. He only weighs about 12 pounds (much less than Loverboy who is a normal-sized tomcat). But Sunny can easilly stand on the floor and reach the kitchen countertop at 36".

We always called Sunny a Siamese, but have been told he is a Ragdoll. I just measured him, front paw to backpaw stretched out. Over 39" !!!

I see Dylan is checking out all the choice spots in the house.
Now I am curious as to his weight. He doesn't LOOK like a 20 pounder. My guess is.................15.

Darn....you are GOOD!! We did the scales this morning and he is 14.5 pounds. I guessed way too high with all that hair (and belly flubber) Eliot is 9 pounds but it is all solid and sleek muscle. Emily is 8 pounds and looks much smaller than Eliot, but again, she has the belly flubber.

Dylan is a very sweet orangie

I hope you post some more beautiful Dylan pictures. I keep checking to see some more of him.

Thats funny , as my Maine Coon , Moose the Magnificent , also thinks that waving a paw is exercise. Unless you get out the Cat Dancer , then that is a different story. Then he is a regular Richard Simmons!

Hey Gary - do you have any Moose pictures to post? Is he very gentle and placid? A few people have suggested that Dylan may be MC or at least mix. I checked the net and he does fit the descriptions. Oh and by the way - Dylan DOES exercise...he RUNS to his food bowl every morning

LOL! Mishi is up to 15 lbs. and I hope he's done growing! He is quite the armload of fluff! Dylan does look like a MC or at least a MC mix, and that mischievious look in his eyes

When Mishi looks at me like that I melt - so nawtee and SO cute! I know he's plotting something!
