I'm going to look at a shelter for a new kitty.  I've been looking on
petfinder.org the last couple days.  This guy looks ALOT like Elvis. He has
to be tested for the nasty diseases and they said they aren't even sure if
he's neutered.  But I'll take care of all that.  Randi is lonely.  He needs
someone to play with.  Then when I go to my vet, they have a couple for
adoption there.  I want 4.  Maybe 5.  My husband always flipped out when I
mentioned getting more than 2.  But it's just me now so if I want to be a
crazy cat lady, so be it!   Wish me luck.  Carol

Good luck. It should be fun to go searching and know you can take more than
one home.

Karen - how are you doing?!  I just was going through the messages and I
didn't realize your baby crossed over 2 days after Elvis; the day before my
husband.  Time has played all kinds of tricks with my mind these last couple
weeks.  Do you have other cats?   Carol :(

Yes, two. Sugar, Grant's littermate, and Pearl who I got from my brother. I
just put a couple of new pictures of Pearl up over on
alt.binaries.pictures.animals today and of course all can be seen in my
yahoo album:

I can't say that I am not depressed, but I am getting a long and the girls
are doing better. (It's been especially hard on Sugar.)

take care now,

Karen

Good luck!  You sure you want one that looks a lot like Elvis?

Yeah, I'm nutty that way.  My Randi looks exactly like my Randall who died
12/6/00.
It's sounds sick but it's comforting to me.  Everybody told me not to get a
cat that looked like Randall.  This is the Elvis lookalike:

Awww.. what a sweet boy!  If I were you,  I would take my time building a
cat family.  More than two cats at once coming in could upset your current
cat greatly.

Oh yeah, I agree with this. One or two at a time, knowing that you can add
on as needed/ready.

He looks really cute! But his story makes me hate people. But you are
adopting him, that makes me love people again. Whew.

FWIW, my cat Rosalie looks very much like Madeline, who died a little
over a year ago. I felt a little funny about it at first, because I
wanted to make sure that I wasn't trying to "replace" Madeline -- as if
anyone ever could! -- but that didn't wind up being a problem at all.

Hey, four or five don't make you crazy!  Well, they may *drive* you crazy ...

Good luck in your quest for kitties!  It sounds like great fun.
