Lavinia is here: PICTURES, post #7!

**phesina** · 02-11-2011, 03:33 PM

Remember my posting about trying to find new homes for 11 of Simon's 12 cats (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=165890&).. the ones from the Christmas Eve fire where I was the petsitter (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=165178)..

Well, guess who is here now being fostered or maybe even permanently! - Lavinia! She's a Siamese with kind of a fluffy coat (which mats easily and is somewhat matted all the time.. I'm working on that now) - I don't know if that's a different breed or just a variation. She's somewhere in her mid to late teens.

She's the one who went to the E.R. for the night of the fire.. She had all kinds of things going on as it was, so she was brought back by them to basic maintenance level.

When I came to get her on Tuesday, she was sneezing quite a bit, so I took her to Simon's vet to check for a URI. I didn't want my other five cats to get it if she had one.

She's been doing fine here. I've kept her apart from the others for the meds course, but I let her out to explore some today. Bob and Elmer both hissed and growled, but the others just watched her, and she was totally unfazed by them.

I don't have any photos of her yet, but I will soon.

More later..

WELCOME Lavinia!!! I'm so glad she is with you! She couldn't ask for a better caretaker or mom!

She's likely a Himalayan/Siamese mix. Himalayan as a breed is a cross between Siamese and Persian, and not every one ends up with the flattened face of the Persian, some look more Siamese in the face, like Lavinia does.

Lavinia is a beautiful lady kitty. Her markings are lovely. She has sure
been through a lot of upheaval lately, but I hope she can settle now that
she has you to care for her.

**Freedom** · 02-12-2011, 04:02 PM

Came back to see the photos. How lovely you are, Lavinia!

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.

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

Thank you so much for taking her in

**BarbPond** · 02-17-2011, 07:44 PM

Oh she is beautiful. But I wouldnt want to try and keep that fur straight!

**phesina** · 02-17-2011, 08:30 PM

She has mats all over the place. I work on them as much as I can. but she does NOT like that and doesn't let me do it for long (she goes off somewhere else). I need to find out how REAL groomers do it.
