Guide to our PT cats

[Lerah021399]

Shortly after bringing Ali to live with us, my hubby and I decided that we would go and get her a friend to play with. He was being very paticular with what kind of cat that he wanted-he wanted a gray short haired. We went to the shelter and all of the cats were adopted (all of them including the older cats). We left that day a little disappointed, but they told us to check their website every few days to see what new kitties they had gotten in. I checked their website everyday over the next week and finally saw a picture of Jack. I called the shelter immediately to see if he was still availalbe and he was! I went out there that night and adopted him. He stole my heart. He was in a cage with his brother (I wanted to take them both, but I couldn't...his brother was adopted the next day). He was so little...the runt of his litter. He was 3 months old and weighed 2 pounds. Here he is at the shelter:
Before we could bring him home we had to get him neutered, so he went from the shelter to the vet to get his surgery. After his surgery I picked him up and brought him home. He spent the first night under the computer stand and I spent it laying in the floor trying to get him to trust me. The most hysterical thing was that when he came out he started to lick at his "surgery spot" so I put the cone on him. Well, he was so small that it didn't fit him...he couldn't walk without it getting in the way and it was the smallest one that he had. So I spent the night making sure that he wasn't licking at himself. It didn't take too long for him to warm up to us. He is now the most affectionate cat that I have ever had. He follows us around the house and is never too far from us. He sleeps in the same spot every night...cuddled up to me in some way. He loves to be held like a parrot on your shoulder. He is also very talkative and jabbers at us all the time. He is my precious boy and I'm so blessed that he is a part of our lives.

Here he is now:

I've now had Corkscrew for two years. He was adopted at PetSmart from a friends mom, but she decided she didn't want him so she gave him to my friend. Well, my friend was pretty much living with her boyfriend at the time so she would only stop in every few days to feed Corkscrew and clean the litter box, but she never really gave him attention. She finally decided to give him away, so she gave Corkscrew to a friend.. who quickly returned him. Then she gave Corkscrew to another friend, who also quickly returned him. By that point she was ready to take Corkscrew to the humaine socitey, but thankfully i decided to bring him home. He was crazy at first, I remember the first few nights I had him I had to lock him up in the bathroom because he kept attacking me in my sleep! But over time we both started to love each other and he calmed down a lot. Now he's my sweet little lover boy

I got Blueberry last summer, I think on the 24th of August. First we were looking on the Internet and in newspapers and everywhere trying to find Persian cat breeders. We wanted a blue(grey) color, solid, bicolor, or just any kind of blue. We contacted some breeders from the Internet, and we were going to get a cream and white Persian. But just 2 weeks before, the breeder had a family issue and could not do anything for us I guess. So we looked in the newspaper and there was a breeder who had some Himalayans available. Himmies are also considered Persians, but they are just a different class of color- all the pointed colors. She had some seal and blue points available. We hadn't planned on getting a Himmy, but just decided to go and ask her a few questions. I remember on that day, I didn't want to go with my parents (for some reason, I forgot why) but good thing I did! lol. We went and just fell in love with all the cute kitties. We also saw her other cats, and they were all gorgeous. So we decided to get a blue point male. He was 5 weeks old at the time(just SO cute!) and we had to wait for 2 more weeks to bring him home. We visited the next week, and then the week after that we brought him home He adjusted very well, and he always used to sleep on my lap. It brings back lots of good memories when I think of it*sighs* I wish he was little again.
His birthday is July 1st, which is also Canada Day! He is now a year and 5 months. Feels like just yesterday we brought him home Time went by too fast!

Maggie

I got Maggie On December 24 as a Christmas gift, I was wanting a cat, but I had to wait because we were in a process to move in a new home. But un-expected a little grey fur ball is mine now! When Maggie was growing up she wasnt like my personality. Totally different. I kept thinking this isnt the cat I wanted, her personality isnt mine. But as time went on we are the best match ever! Maggie -loves- to follow me around. We love to play fetch. and we love to just chill out on the couch watching Animal Planet :P And maggie is sure a vocal cat! She loves to carry on little conversations. She's the best! Maggies birthday is Oct. 29. She is now 1 years old. I sure love Maggie alot, and I sure hope we stay together for a very long time!

Back again to start over.

Lita: I got Lita from the H.S., I went in to talk to one of the board members about helping them out with a problem and there was this black and white cat that just came in. She was on her way to be put down sense she was pregant and their policy is to put all pregant animals down. I just went over to pet her and that was all it took, she rubbed her face all over mine, meowing the whole time. She starved for love so bad that I had to give her a home. She still can't get enough love from people to this day. Sense then she had her kitten, foster some other and has been a super cat.
Lita:


Then that brings me to Tig one of Lita's foster babies. I love Tig, he thinks he's a dog. I tried to find a home for him, but he had such a "TUDE" that I could not part with him.

I'll keep these guys short, just know that I love them all and just because I leave details out does not mean that they don't mean the world to me.

MII: He's one of my wild cats and I have never really been able to get that wild side out of him. He was to be a temp. till I felt he was ready to move on. He wont ever really be a good house cat as hard as I try. I would not feel safe giving him to anyone else that doesn't know how to handle him.


Dagwood, another stray that never found the right home. Dagwood is my dog lover.


Evil Kinevill, My dare devil. He will jump of the roof of the house like it nothing. Thats why the name. Evil is Dagwoods brother they came in toghter as kittens.


Then there is Blondie that came into my heater vent to have her kittens. She a odd one and that makes me love her more.


Then Blondie brings me to Cali, one of her babies. I can't say enough about Cali, she has my heart, she took in and ran away with it. She even stold my husband heart, she that special.


Last is Darell, he was also one of Lita fosters. He's a so gentle and loving but I'm afraid I have no good pictures of him, he always seem to turn away so the only picture I get is of his hind end.
