Look what I did. Confession and Explanation #29

[Taz_Zoee]

Hee hee. This is why I've never fostered.
We were going to foster before we got Jax, but then he came along and we didn't have to foster.

I must admit, I'm glad you were a foster failure. Emily and Bob are two very lucky kitties. And I'm glad they didn't upset the original krew.

[mrspunkysmom]

Oh, it's not perfect, but it's improving. Bob and Jane just had a spat and I'm not sure who was growling. I thought at first it was Jane, but it must have been Bob. Jane was too calm. I think Jane was trying to play with him and he is still adjusting to this household.

But no, no major upsets. Just have to soothe egos a lot.

Well I'm also glad to hear that you failed at fostering. I know I would too so this is why I've never fostered. I'm glad to hear that they're getting along fairly well. My females are the ones that aren't very accepting to newbies and they will even fight with each other or their older male siblings too.

Have you tried using Feliway spray or plugins at all? Sometimes it'll work well and sometimes not. I've used it in the past but after a while my cats seemed to become immune to it. I look forward to hearing more about your krew of 5 and hopefully seeing many more pictures too. Good luck.

[mrspunkysmom]

Feliway? It's no where near that point yet. :whew:

The krew members are setting their individual boundaries again and it will take a while. It does require a lot of diplomatic loving on my part.

[katladyd]

Yeah, I took in Kimba with the intent to find him a home. He's still here, even though my other two are not real fond of him all the time. They will adjust, they always do. I am glad your three are very accepting of the "new guys".

[mrspunkysmom]

Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

So how many cats does it take to make a Cray Cat Lady?

[katladyd]

When your friends say, "You're taking in ANOTHER CAT?" Yep, that's it.

[krazyaboutkatz]

So how many cats does it take to make a Cray Cat Lady?

I'm not sure but my family already considers me to be a "Crazy Cat Lady" and this was probably when I only had 2-3 cats at the time. Even people at work know that I love cats too. I'd rather be accused of this than being an animal hoarder or something worse.

[katladyd]

It's a title I wear with pride! A person can do worse than being a crazy cat person. I love cats, all cats, and I don't care who knows it!

[mrspunkysmom]

I agree!

[carole]

Yes even I have had the honour to be called a crazy cat lady on my facebook, and i answered with AND I AM PROUD OF IT,of course i have all of you here on PT to blame for it, he he.

I hope you find homes for the kitties soon, good luck with that,and i know how hard it can be when your household is already full and you are at your max, to say NO to keeping them,i wish you every success and bless your heart for taking them in.

[GILL]

It's so wonderful when you FAIL at a foster.
I completely agree and I wear the title "CRAZY CAT GUY" proudly. My wife knows I'm crazy. When we met she had 1 cat Missy and I told her I prefer dogs and don’t like cats. Well I had one little (bottle baby) that changed things. I think Patches would be very proud of me.
There are 23 in house right now. 3 that are ours (what the town allows)
There are no limits on fosters. Some are "permanent" fosters.
My CREW, FOSTERS, and TRANSPORTS can be seen at www.jsgill.net

I would rather be a Crazy Cat Man with love in my heart for Cats
than some of these people who go around , thinking only of thenmselves and the things that they own.
There are millions of gadgets, but eash Cat is unique and will return the love that you give them so many times over.
God Bless those who help the Helpless!!!

My boss sneers at me and finds me pathetic but I can't wait to get back to my troupe after a day at work and feel that living with/working with my geriatric and hospice and disabled cats makes my life truly worth while.

Glad you gave those two a home, very glad.

[mrspunkysmom]

Well, we have a thing going here, so it looks like I'm keeping them. I thought three was the limit, but I can manage five. Expense-wise, more than 5 would be difficult.

And Sam had become grumpy, so adding any more would not be wise.

Thank y'all for your support.

I'm debating a clan name for them. I'm using Kitty Krew, but what about Kitty Kwintet?
