stantilda Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 My husband and I moved into a new house in September along with our four cats. Immediately, we noticed two small cats that we thought were about six months old, hanging around. They were pretty skinny and we started feeding them. They awere pretty firendly, too. I swore they were not going to be our new pets. We already have four! However, we kept worrying about them. One, who we call J.J. or Jester junior because she looks like our cat Jester, had a chunk missing out of her leg. My husband's talked me into taking them in. And I quote, "We have four, how is six any different?" Such suckers. So now we have J.J. and Usher who we thought initially were both boys. Nope, both girls. Usher is named after Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher. I dropped the girls off last week to spayed. The vet called a few hours later, which scared me. Apparently, Usher was already spayed! We have no idea where she came from. No neighbors were missing a kitty. The cats are also older than we thought. They may even already be a year old. They just look so tiny next to our other kitties. Maybe that is because they are so fat. The girls are making themselves at home. I swear no more kitties.... of course how different is seven and six?

Shakyshaky Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 They are very pretty. We have a cat that came with our house. He tried for the first time yesterday to come inside. DH is allergic to cats though, so he has to stay our outside cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodteach0 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I'm glad you took in the kitties. I'm with doogster the more the merrier! The black and white kitty looks a lot like my beautiful Marmie. Marmie was found as a tiny kitten along with her 3 littermates in a field about to be bush hogged. I bottle fed Marmie and one of her littermates. the other 2 were cared for by a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterfieldzoo Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Finally someone who thinks like me. I figure once you get 3 it will not make a difference anymore. 2 of anything is easy and you don't even notice them. If you have 3 - you may as well have 10. More to love and get love from. Worried about the vet bills? Pffft. Vacations are overrated anyway..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Well you just couldn't leave them out in the cold - I know I couldn't! They are precious little babies though, no matter how old they are. I wonder if they were abandoned or kicked out. Cats will generally go where they know they will be cared for. Poor babies......they sure will be spoiled rotten! What's one more?! Another loving baby that is what's more. Wolfie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_the_haunted Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Ppfffttt! You're so funny! I know the feeling...I'd take 'em all in too. They really do go where they know they will be loved, and that says alot of good stuff about you. They are super cute kitties! Congratulations on the new family members! I have one who has "adopted us" too but he won't acclimate into the house with the other "babies" so, he live outside. (It's warm here...don't worry :xmas_tree:) I too am a big sucker!

stantilda Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 They have acclimated very well and the other babies are dealing with it. We had a nasty opossum in our shed and I think that may be what attaked JJ. Luckily, her hair is growing back nicely and she healed well. We caught Usher just before she was going into the shed where the Opossum was hiding. I cringe thinking about what would have happened. She now snuggles us in bed every night. We never need more than a sheet and quilt with all the kitties to keep us warm. Thank goodness I maries a cat person! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
