This kitty could be Miley's new brother...

[Vermontcat]

SAS, I remember you mentioned the June kitty when I saw you but if you and Miley are ready for a new one now then I say go for it!
I can imagine Miley is lonely when you are at work and extra clingy with you when you are at home. If you do get the Bengal(he is handsome) this weekend, my camera and I are available to take new family photos of you and Miley and Ti on Sunday.
By the way, where are you getting him from? Somewhere in Vermont?

[Miss Meow]

Good luck SAS, I hope everything works out well I'm sure Miley will *love* whoever ends up in your home.

I have a feeling that any new kitty I bring in will set Miley into a spin! Shje is not like Grammy was, welcoming everyone and everything with open arms (mouth)....hehehehehehe! I hope now that she is older and a bit lonely that the "hot spot" thing will not happen again. I am getting tired of being groomed all the time and hope that Miley takes it to the cat world as soon as a friend for her arrives. I really think she enjoyed having Doogle the dog around during the loss of Graemer and now she has NO distractions/playmates.

Bengals are very much like Abys, a bit bigger and slighty smarter, I think, but each kitty comes with its own little personality, predispostion, genes etc. Hopefully the introduction, no matter when or how, will run smoothly. They usually do, here at Camp Vermont!

Zoe, I do have a camera ready to roll. I will PM you about Sunday though, depending on when and if Ti is ready for a transfer of homes!

I am getting excited now. Even if Ti ends up not coming to me, another Bengal kitty will be ready in a couple of weeks. Did I mention this in an earlier post?

I have missed posting very much and often here these past few weeks. I just got so darn tired of posting depressing, horrible topics and comments. Now that there is excitement on the horizon, my spirit has returned! Yea!

Love,
Sas and her brat!

still hanging in here, waiting to hear the news (good I hope) about the bengal.And concerning the new aby, even though I like to go to the shelter and pick out a homeless waif, I'd sure love the chance to pick out a new kitten. Sounds like an awfully hard task (which one? which one?)

[Vio&Juni]

The cat is gorgeous! I like Ti and I hope it works well for you both (and him too )
I like the name Tiberius and the short name Ti is also very nice.
Good luck!

I am so happy for you. I have been thinking about you and Miley and wondering if you would be getting her a new friend. Ti is such a handsome little guy. I hope you get him this weekend. I will be waiting for pictures.

The best of luck,

Jen, I really considered a shelter first. And have been looking too. I need a high energy cat for Miley and there is no history for the shelter cats, for the most part. I am not hooked on breeders for any other reason than to have them select the kitten for me. I know that sounds silly, but they are the ones watching these guys and gals grown, interact, eat, sleep, fight etc. so I trust their judgement. I just want a sweet kitten, not one that is king of the hill or dominant. It may be that I end up with a female. Any color for sure!

Also, since this Aby kitten will be given to me (replacing Graemer), I don't expect one that is Show quality....I just want a pet....

As I mentioned, if I sense that Miley and Ti are enough for this house, then I will not take the Aby kitten. (Right Sas, who wouldn't take an Aby kitten...who are you fooling?)...

Oh my, I had better get ready for work!

Catch you guys later!

Love,
SAS and her brat

PLEASE don't think I was "scolding" you for not going to a shelter (darn, I knew it could be read wrong) I just mean I've never had the joy of picking out a kitten, a new "fresh" life, one not "tainted" by the sometimes cruel society. Oh yeah, also, you aren't kidding me....you'll get that aby....hee hee

I am getting tired of being groomed all the time.

I laughed out loud at this line Sallyanne and it made me so happy to see the old SAS humor returning!! I know the excitement that you must be feeling now, with a new kitty on the horizon.

As I mentioned, if I sense that Miley and Ti are enough for this house, then I will not take the Aby kitten. (Right Sas, who wouldn't take an Aby kitten...who are you fooling?)...

Another great line! hehe! I don't think you will have a prayer of walking away from an Aby kitten. Oh my, I think I am getting as excited as you are! Can't wait for the weekend!

[sasvermont]

Jen, I didn't take it as a scolding, honestly. I always feel guilty when there are so many kittens needing good homes....and I have had shelter kitties with no problems. Its like buying a certain car, or having your hair cut a certain way, etc. you get to select a kitten/cat from any source. So, lately, I have wanted cats from breeders - I think I have a guility concenience. One of the problems I have with people in general, is not knowing what they want in a cat. I do know what I want. I think that is why I volunteer at a shelter to try to payback society for having NOT shopped at a shelter for a kitty kat!

Anway, no offense taken, really!

I think for those of you who have 12,000 cats - well, I just couldn't do it, but I admire you and all the time, energy and money you bring to the effort! Yikes. Too bad there aren't more people out there like you!

Love,
Sas and her brat

AW, Ti is breathtaking! What splendid colours!! he makes me think a bit of Vio's Juni!!
Oh please , take the poor guy, he looks adorable!!

[sasvermont]

I just got an email from the breeder about Ti and it seems that she wants to do the transfer on Tuesday. Of course, I emailed her right back asking for it to happen this weekend so that I could spend some quality time with Ti and Miley - and play referee. I will keep you posted!

It sounds like Miley is grieving for her two brothers, even though she didn't appear to get along especially well with them. I hope it works out well with Ti or another kitty!

12000 cats?! LOL! That's fostering during kitten season...

Sounds like this Bengal kitty is already working its magic on you SAS. We've missed your posts, and Gabe and Graemer's antics as well. They were special kitties, but it definitely sounds like you know it's time for a friend for Miley. It's so sad that she misses them so much, but I guess that's to be expected when she was so close to Graemer, and even though she didn't care that much for Gabe, I'm sure he, at the very least, provided some entertainment for her during the day.

I sure hope everything works out with Ti, but only you will be able to make that decision, and I'm sure you will do what's best for you and Miley girl.

We'll be waiting for an update...and pictures.
