Awwwe, adorable!
Here’s our ‘lil adoptee after sticking her nose in whipped cream:
… mesmerized by the pendulum on the clock:
… hiding under the dining table:
Now at 3 months old, she’s no fat cat, just long and lean:
Definitely an armful for my 3-yo niece!
Cute kitty and cute niece. Do you mind if I inquire if you used the adoption method where you fill out all the info online and wait to see if you hear back. I’m having a difficult time but it hasn’t been that long I’ve just never been down this road before. I did have one in NY give me like instant approval but they became real pushy and started sayin I should get 4 cats (at 300 a piece) another one my application is now with “the board” but I might get rejected as I can’t remember every vet my cat who lived to 25 saw. When I called the vets I think spayed her 24 years ago they laughed and said they don’t keep records that long.
I guess I’m just wondering how you found the process and how long it took. I
My daughter drug me into the Oklahoma City animal shelter and adoption center about 2 months after we lost our 17-year old cat, Belle.
I think we just got lucky that day because there were two cute kittens that had just come out of foster care, and were ready for adoption. In our city, and at the center, all of the pets have already had their shots and have been spayed or neutered and chipped. You sign a few forms, pay a $30 registration fee, and take them home the same day! There was no vetting of any sort! I think this is fairly typical of a city run operation that is well funded by taxpayers…
I wish you luck!
So...dogs had a bit of a dust up over a toy...Remi is the Alpha dog, but Maeve can still inflict some damage...puncture on his snout...
But not long after they are fine again...
No major damage done, although Maeve was limping for a few minutes after.
Once you start adopting pet you run the risk of ending up with 13
Have only 11 now but constantly have to rein in my adopting another
Funny how that happens, and usually over toys and/or chews. With multiple dogs, we have seen this many, many times between long-time companions. The worst time was a pretty major flare-up while we were camping that resulted in some paw damage. Given that we were in the wilderness with limited first-aid supplies, it was not convenient.
Making progress. After background check by the FBI and Secret service and a a crown Victoria following me for a week I can now enter an adoption center. Appt is Saturday afternoon. Have a few picks of some little fellows I will check out the puppies as well. I kind of like that calico blondish one he looks aloof and depressed kinda like me.
Old boy with his nightly stance - ‘’I just got to to go now Dad’ ‘’… time to take him down for supper and access to the great unknown, cat stuff is the greater calling. No doubt he will be singing to wake us up at 6am, despite having a triple A pass cat-flap.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light…..

Mike is not impressed with cats. In fact nothing much impresses Mike. He is the most docile animal I have ever seen.
@Omegafanman how much does the old boy way. After work last night I stopped by my buddies girlfriends place as he wanted to borrow a vintage bass guitar I have. She has a beautiful half Maine coon darn thing weighs 22 pounds. It’s a lovable ball of fur but I imagine trying to put it in a cat carrier against its will would be a bit of a battle. I couldn’t take a picture as the cat was sitting on a pile of her clothing and I noticed some unmentionables. Anyway, the look of hers was quite similar to old boy.
Poor Zelda had a tough day. At about 7am, she broke out in huge hives and her face swelled up incredibly, especially her lips and jowls. However, she was in good spirits and ate well, so I figured it was just a dramatic reaction to a bee sting or bug bite, and gave her some Benadryl. After a couple of hours it seemed to be getting better.
But then at noon, she broke out in hives again all over her body and she was vomiting, so I took her to the emergency vet. They agreed it was an allergic reaction, didn't think it was dangerous, but thought she needed a stronger dose of antihistamine and supplemented it with a steroid injection. She's groggy now, but seems to be comfortable. She had a good appetite for dinner and held it down. I'll give her Benadryl for the next couple of days and hopefully there will be no more outbreaks.
@Dan S so sorry to hear about Zelda….wishing her a quick and full recovery.
