Jane - 17 Nov 2005 13:23 GMT Well, it seems that I have been adopted by another kitty. Last night during a very wet rainstorm, I heard howling outside. I went to the door and in strolled this very wet and dirty black and white tuxedo kitten. She looks about 3-4 months old, you know, bigger than a bitty, but not quite teenager size? Very friendly. She let me pick her up and bring her inside, where I dried her off and gave her food (which she ignored). She doesn't look starved or hurt in anyway, and I see no indication of surgery. I'm just making a wild assumption here that she's female.
Problem is, Rita HATES her. There's a lot of hissing going on. This is only a one-bedroom apartment, for pete's sake! I've contacted paw-rescue.org to see if they can help. I'd be happy to foster her and get her checked out and spayed, but keeping her is out of the question. I'm allergic, and one cat is bad enough in this small apartment. She's friendly and adorable, so she should be easy to find a home for. Meanwhile, I guess Rita will just have to put up with her for now.
I've named her Emily, and will post pictures when I get some.

If she wasn't hungry and was generally in good shape, it could be that she's someones pet and she sneaked out by mistake.
There's a cat called Basil, who lives 3 doors down and is a much loved pet. He also looks like he's been dragged through a hedge and tries to crack on he's a poor starving waif of a stray. (He's not). When i first moved in, i was fooled, until I tied a note to his neck and his mom was around post haste to say that it was his M.O. to crack on he was dying of hunger and was unloved.
Welcome to the new addition, any road. ;o)

If she hasn't got one, well, it took Nox a good month to stop hissing at Smokey, and she'll still hiss if he's within ten inches of her.. 3+ years later....but a truce of sorts has been reached.
I think 2 cats in a 1 bedroom apartment is okay...we've got 4 in a 2-bedroom.
As for allergies though, I foresee you spending quality time with your vaccuum cleaner.

I have 3 cats in a one-bedroom apartment, but then they have the outside enclosure too. Miranda hissed at Caliban for a week, then they started playing together, then they started sleeping and cuddling together. Purrs for Emily (you do know that if you name them, you keep them, don't you?) to find a good home, whether with you or with someone else.

Emily has been renamed Stormy - because she was found in a storm. It seems to fit.
Thursday morning my dentist's receptionist (a lovely young woman) called to remind me of my saturday appt. No problem. Then she asked, 'I've been looking for a kitten. Do you know anyone who has a kitten?'
Ah-ha! NOW I know why Stormy came to find me. She needed to be taken to her new home!
As for having a home in the complex...I suppose it's a possibility, but I've seen this kitten and a sibling around several times. I suspect they have been tossed. They are just past that 'cute kitten stage', which is prime time for tossing. So I'm going to try and get her into my vet this evening for a quickie checkup, and she's going north with me on Saturday for her onetruehome. She'll be living with another cat and a d*g, so she won't be lonely, and her staff knows quite well how to care for rulers of the feline variety.

She's a lucky kitty. Hope this turns out to be a forever home for her.

Nan - 18 Nov 2005 15:24 GMT >ladyjaneinmd She's beautiful, but for a minute there when I saw the first picture in the album I wondered how you got a picture of Tigger. Purrs and Hugs,
Nan and the furkids

Karen - 18 Nov 2005 20:23 GMT I thought that too!

Jane - 20 Nov 2005 00:19 GMT Well, my dentist appointment was today at noon, and I left an extremely happy office behind. Stormy was wearing a pink gingham collar and was exploring, but mostly being held and petted and having a lot of fuss over her. Carrie said that her parents were coming over for dinner to meet their new 'grandkitty' and were just as excited as she was.
It's wonderful to be a part of something like that.
And Princess Rita is thrilled to have her place to herself again.
