Congratulations! I think ol' Tubby sent Cracker Jack to you. He's such a handsome orange kitty!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

My how time flies! It's been 6 years now, and I don't know what this household would do without CJ around. Tubby sure knew what he was doing when he sent us CJ.

Some recent pics.

Oops, forgot to mention, check out page 3 of this thread for a post by the purrayer pups. Sure miss Phred.

What an adorable, beautiful redhead kitty! CJ, you are lovely!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Thanks for popping in Debbie. CJ sure is a very handsome boy. How is Robin doing these days? Hopefully she's doing well too.

I agree with Tracey- how can you post a thread about adorable CJ without telling us about Robin. We miss you too- come more often.

Congratulations on the newest member to your household Debbie. Cracker Jack is an extremely handsome fella. His facial markings are absolutely stunning as is his cute purr motor.

ARHRGHGHGH

I just can't stay away... I wanted to say one more thing..

I remember when we brought Jupiter home...
Tinky was such a QUEEN B!! ... She hissed and carried on so. We put him in the spare room and she hissed and growled under the door at him.,.. (And still does whenever I have brought the scooter bugs, Macy and Zana in... or if another cat just walks up on the porch..(

But Jupiter is such a gentleman.. He has never raised his voice at anyone. ... He is such a curious and friendly kitty... He has such a gentle character.....and Cracker Jack is bringing back such happy memories for me...

OMG! Congratulations on the new addition. Cracker Jack is just too too cute and of course ORANGE!!
Let us know how he and Peanut are doing. What a great way to begin my morning!

**hugs**

Well....I think Peanut has been talking to Edwina.....because I woke up at 3:30 this morning to sounds that I've never heard come from my little sweetie pie! She is a little spooked at everything now, but is only hissing and spitting this morning. And Cracker Jack? Not even the hint of a hiss back at her.

I was sitting in the bathroom with him last night with the door closed. Neither one of us knew Peanut was on the other side, Terry was up watching the blow out that was billed as a football game. So here's Jack and I, sitting quietly, he's exploring the crack under the door when all of a sudden we hear this horrendous HISSSSSSS outside the door! He jumped, I jumped and it was only Peanut, already imposing her mandate that she is still queen of the house! This morning, she was sitting back from the door, and did I mention Jack is a bit of a talker? Well, whenever he would meow, Peanut would hiss. Too funny. I did bring her up into bed with me and she settled down and was purring, so I don't think she's too terribly upset.

Cracker Jack on the other hand, wants out, and he wants it bad! He is so over the bathroom and wants out to explore the rest of the house. However, Peanut is not ready for that yet and I don't want to push it. They'll have the rest of their lives together, so I don't want to push things and make her hate him forever. Tonight when I get home, we will be letting him out of the bathroom and into the bedroom for awhile to give him a bit of a breather, and I did give him some catnip this morning and a few toys to play with. The bathroom is huge compared to the cage he was in, but it stills seems too small for him.

Oh, and we discovered an interesting thing. His previous owners were male - father(we're thinking 40-50 years old) and "slow" son(probably in mid 20's), father passed away and son went to a "home" - so Cracker Jack is so much more comfortable with Terry! Terry went in the bathroom with him last night without me, and what he was describing was not the same thing I saw when I went in with him. So we both went in together and he was so much more animated when Terry was petting him and talking to him than when I was. He even rolled over and was acting goofy with Terry! But that's ok. Bonds Terry to him that much better, and we may need that in the next few days if Peanut doesn't let up with the hissy fits.

I only got a few pictures this morning. He really made a mess with the litterbox (typical male) so I had to use my time cleaning that up instead of taking pictures.

He's been sleeping in the carrier box they gave me to bring him home in. I laid it on its side hoping he would use it as a hidey hole, and he is, so yep Phred, looks like he's going to have his own little condo.


Here he is looking cute.


Enough with the flashy box already! What's with that thing anyway?


And for lack of pictures, here are the two pictures that were on petfinder and their own website. The first one is the one that drew me in and the second one is the one that really got me.



And one more short video. No purring this time, just some skritchies. And that "spot" on his cheek is where a chunk of furr is missing. The girl at the shelter didn't even notice it until we pointed it out. We get a free check up at the vet, so we'll have to have him take a look at it.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Drat, the video didn't show up. So here it is.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh, and I really MUST get some good pictures of his tail. I love his tail!!! Towards the tip it gets stripey with white mixed in with the orange...and he's always flicking his tail....just like Tubby used to do.

Oh! Another thing he does with his tail is he always holds it way up and it curls around like a question mark! I've always thought that was so cute when kitties did that and now I have one!

All I know is Peanut better get off her high horse real soon because this boy is quickly taking hold of my heart.

[mina'smomma]

Ohhh Debbie he is absolutely adorable. I love how he looks.

[NKBurlington]

Congratulations! He is beautiful.
