Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2006Bill and Lily are free from the cage
Can't mourn Max forever, other cats need to live. Picked 'em up at the shelter earlier today. After exploring the house, Lily hid out behind the washing machine. (She's just about one year old, a rescue from a cat hoarder; Has no idea anything was as big as my house, I suspect.) Bill, on the other hand, being older and wiser in the ways of humans, has decided this is a good deal and has moved right in. He particularly liked nap time.

Congratulations! Hope Lily comes out of her shell soon. Bill sounds like he'll be a friendly, social guy. It's great of you to adopt new kitties so soon after losing Max.

Max's thinking days are over, and they couldn't tell one ceramic vase from another. > Can't mourn Max forever, other cats need to live. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > decided this is a good deal and has moved right in. > He particularly liked nap time. Congrats on the new residents! I am always happy to hear about cats getting another lease on life from a good slave. Rescued Billy & Lily (littermates) live with me, too! > Can't mourn Max forever, other cats need to live. > > Picked 'em up at the shelter earlier today. Congratulations on your new family members! Do you know Bill's history? He sounds like a mature (elderly?) cat. --Fil >> Can't mourn Max forever, other cats need to live. >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > --Fil No He was lesft at the shelter, they couldn't keep him. Seems like a pretty reasonable cat. > Can't mourn Max forever, other cats need to live. > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Cheers > H. Good! I hpe Lily figures out she has a one true home soon. Congratulations to all three of you. I suspect that Lily will soon realize it's a good deal, too, and that the three of you will have some wonderful times together.

We have a Lily here, and there is also a Lily in Maryland and a couple of others on the board too. :o) It might be worth confining Lily to one room for the time being just until she finds her feet and relaxes. A large space may be a little too overwhelming for her, and it'll give her a chance to find some safe space.

Tomorrow my wife will join me to meet the new additions out here in the country. During WWII, when the original Lily Litvak was spotted by the Luftwaffe, the words "ACHTUNG!! LITVAK!!" could be heard on the radio. I think that phrase will be oft repeated here. Cheers H. > Lily has taken full measure of the house. > I woke up with both of them in bed with me. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Cheers > H./// Great to hear she has settled. :o) I think, if the other Lilys are anything to go by, you're going to have a "wild child" hoolikitten. ;o) My little madam is *VERY* precocious and naughty, I think Maryland Lily was too (Lydia can confirm that)...

Ok, for me it's having my hubby and the cats with me. I'm sure your wife will love the cats too. Cheers for you for getting Bill and Lily their onetruehome.

SignatureSam, closely supervised by Mistletoe >> Can't mourn Max forever, other cats need to live. >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> H. > Con-cat-ulations! Thanks, Sam This afternoon marked 24 hours since Bill and Lily have left the confines of the cage and the shadow of euthanasia. Lily's out and exploring the digs. They both have discovered Max's seldom-used litterbox (fresh litter, of course) and took to it like good kitties. I went out for my half-hour of laps in the pool. Bill was watching through the patio door. He couldn't see me all the time; floor's too low. I saw him look up at a table and an adjacent window. A minute later Bill was on the table where he could see me all the time. He seems capable of abstractions; this is good. After a while he lost interest. I was just swimming laps. Cheers and give Mistletoe a kiss.....

I'm sure that Max approves of sharing the services of an excellent servant with Bill and Lily. They sound like a good blend of personalities. I hope and wish for you three to have many blessed years together. I'm also going to keep my eyes out for progress reports. Pam S. |
