We are *so* close to getting another cat..but..

[RockyRoad]

Well my mom and I were talking about how nice it would be to have a young cat around the house again, and to rescue a cat in need of a home, so I searched PetFinder to see if there were any 'baby' cats. We found this adorable male Tuxedo-Domestic Short Hair black & white mix, and he's five months old! To see him go here.

My sister agreed, and my mom just said the old line, "It's up to your father." Now it's time to convince good ol' dad...

I thought that the best way to convince him is to have some cat-lovers help out! (And I don't know if there is anyone who loves cats more than Pet Talkers!)

Pictures, stories, anything will help show him how great cats are in the family (he isn't much of a cat person) would be very appreciated!

If he says yes, we get to visit him in a week or so at the PetCo he is staying at. In the meantime, I e-mailed the adress to find out more about Elrond, hopefully they will respond soon.

Thanks in advance!

Aww, Elrond is so cute! It's so cool that you're getting a new cat. I wish I could get another one too. I hope your dad says yes. Cats are the best pets ever (well that's my opinion anyway). Elrond is the cutest kitten I've ever seen. I konw I already said this but I really hope your dad says yes!

[Aspen and Misty]

Britt, I hope your dad says yes. My 4 wonderful Kitties are the greatest things and I couldn't imagine living with out them.

Hmm, stories, I can't really think of any stories. But Pictures! I got Pictures!

All I can say is two is always better than one. Good luck in convincing Dad.

Wow, that's great! I hope that your dad says yes!

Here's something funny I love about Sara --- She rarely sleeps on my bed. Her new spot is under the dresser - why? Because my rats' cages are on either side of my bed, and she is afraid of the rats! Frisco has bitten her on the nose one too many times.. She will only go on the bed if i'm on there, and even then she is very cautious, always on the lookout.... And when the rats come out, under the dresser she ZOOMS!!

Funny thing is....the rats are afraid of her too

you could never tell from these pics though



Good luck!

I got an e-mail back from the person from the shelter. She said we could come visit Elrond any time.
Oh yes, and my dad is convinced! Thanks for the help! He said we have to ask my mom about what day she and my dad will go visist him (we still have school for three weeks). If they like him, they'll adopt him.
She also said he was good with other cats, so that's a good sign. I'm so happy.

Thanks for the warm wishes (and for sharing your cat pics..they were so cute!)

Good for you and your parents! I bet you'll adore Elrond--tuxie boys are irresistible!

[The Cat Factory]

Elrond is adorable! And I love his name

[ChrisH]

Oh, Britt, that is just great, I am so pleased for you and your family!

Just looked at Elrond, he is gorgeous!

[carole]

I was just about to say YOU GO GET HIM GIRL, but what neat news, he is so cute, he looks like he has a little beard, i was also going to say daughters have a way of wrapping their daddies around their little fingers(well mine does anyway) oh i do hope you go and pick him up soon, he is a dear little tuxey.

[RockyRoad]

My mom and dad will discuss it tomorrow, and it will be likely they will be going to visit him Wednesday (my mom works Mon. & Tues.). If they like him, they'll call and adopt him. He is a courtesy listing, so we have to call to see if we can adopt him. (What is a courtesy listing? )

We're gunna most likely rename him Aiken. It's original, we all like it, and it's the last name of my favorite person. I've always wanted a Tuxie, they are so sweet and beautiful. It's like a dream come true.

Thanks everyone! Let's hope all works out and he will be in our home by the end of this week!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so glad that your parents have decided to get another cat. I hope that everything goes well so you can adopt him and give him a loving forever home. BTW he's a cutie pie.

Good luck

That is great news! Now all I have to do is convince my body corporate, land lord and partner that we could do with another cat too!

[Tina]
