I have my eye on a meezer girl...David and I are going on Saturday to go look at her again.

I agree itty bitty,

The one cat rule does suck!

Richard, it really sounds like you're destined to adopt an orange kitten. And one should never argue with destiny.

I agree that you should go to a shelter and adopt a little orange kitten. I'm sure your cat will get along with it in no time. Then you can bring it to the L.A. Pet Talk Barbecue and we can all meet him or her and take his/her picture.

Richard, All of the shelters here are full of kittens this year. Even our own local shelter is full again. There are orange, tabbies, black, calico, tuxedo, and there was a white one (until I adopted him). There was one black (Siamese mix) who practically begged me to take him. I wish I could have taken them all, but I already have a house full, and I do not regret it. I agree with the others, go get a kitten or 2 or 3, or whatever your heart desires. I do not believe that you will regret any adoptions that you make.

RICHARD,

Things happen for a reason. I had an experience with a pet store as well.

I went in to buy cat food and heard a kitten crying it's head off. I went over to the cage and there was this adorable tortie girl alone in the cage, begging for attention. Her brother had just be sold. I felt so bad, I went over to the owner of the store and asked him if I could just hold her for a little bit to try and calm her down. His response was "Ya gonna buy her???" When I asked how much, he said, "$250!!". I told him he should be ashamed of himself. "Hey, kittens are hard to find right now and they're at a premium," he said. (It was the middle of winter). I proceeded to throw the cat food (cans) on the counter (they went rolling all over the place) and walked out, never looking back. I have never been back there since.

Oh, and remember the Meezer I mentioned at the shelter, Diamond??? Well, I might be fostering her. I'm going into the shelter today to find out.

SOME Pet stores suck!!

Richard, I know how you feel! I wish I had a bigger place to be able to take in some more cats. Of course, the Queen of the house aka Juni would be very fussy, but she'd get over it. I just saw the most perfect black kitten ever today.... HHHmmm. Darn small apt.
But, anyway, I say go for it if another pair of eyes look into yours! Maybe a blacky to go with Eddie (or whatever color)

The Petsmart are fine and the petceteras as the Cats and kittens are all healthy. What I and I think Richard are objecting to id the mom and pop Pet Food store where the kittens are dumped by irresponsible owners! and you dont know the history of the kitten and his or her health. I was lucky with pouncer Scrappy and Smokey , but a lot of people get stuck with a vet bill that is more than they expected. unregulated kitten adoption must stop!
