Andrew is starting to really feel at home finally, which is great! He isn't hiding as much as he was! He makes great strides every day and I am certain that the fact that Jo is being nicer to him now also helps him feel more at ease. The three of us had a great morning and I found it...

Thank you for your post! I've been to Key West several times - growing up my family used to take us there at least once every other month. Andrew is doing MUCH better and has not peed again anywhere except his litter box! I even let him on the bed where he had peed the first night and he has...

My babies are doing well and actually getting on better! As for the car ride - I agree with you about the safety issue, believe me. As for something spooking him - have any of you ever driven the interstate in FLORIDA?! It is the absolute most BORING stretch of road anywhere! At any rate...

Andrew is a sweetheart of a cat. I can't wait to come home to my 2 fur-babies. Hopefully they'll be getting on a bit better by then... He and I totally bonded on the drive home. He wanted to be in my lap the entire time. I tried to put him in the back seat at one point, but he wouldn't have...

Andrew is most definitely a descendant of the Hemmingway cats. Hemmingway bred these 6-toed cats specifically (why, i do not know - perhaps just because it made them look more 'human') and Andrew is a 6-toed cat. it's really cool because it makes him look like he has 'hands' in the front...

Hello all! Well, I did it! I called in sick yesterday and drove myself 4 hours down to the Key West SPCA to pick up the kitty. He sat on my lap with a paw on either side of me ('hugging' me) the entire drive back home. What a sweetheart! I have changed his name to Andrew (Prince Andrew...

Thank you guys for the encouragement! I'm waiting to hear from the SPCA there to let me know when I can go get Jack. Perhaps this weekend - that would be wonderful, but we shall see. Now, since I haven't introduced a new cat to mine since she was a kitten and I don't know how she will...

I have to wait to pick up "Jack"... He is at the SPCA in Key West and had a slight respiratory infection (the entire kennel had it) and they won't let me adopt him until he is all clear (which is good for me & the kitty I already have!!)... As soon as they give me the green light, I will go...

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I'm waiting to hear back from the lady at the B&B!

thank you! i'll have to try that! the lady and i have corresponded back and forth, but no solution yet, so i may just do that - go down there this weekend!

Two weekends ago, I was in Key West, which is about a 4-hour drive from where I reside. While there, I met a beautiful cat. He is a grey shorthair with large gold eyes, and descendant of the Ernest Hemmingway cats. He has 6-toes on his 2 front paws and his back paws are 'normal'. He took to...

Well, I could explain it, but then this post would get a little lengthy, so I'll give you the link to the site I bought it from and you can check it out - it shows you with pictures exactly how it works. It's not automated, but it works just as well and is a whole lot cheaper, which was the...

I hear all of your concerns - believe me, I have gone over all of them myself. That is why I won't be bringing my baby in until after I've been there for about a month or two and my neighbors think I have no animals. As for the maintenance crew and all that, we ARE allowed to have birds and...

Well, I am determined to sneak the babies in. The complex is brand-spanking new and no one has lived there before. I wish I knew why they don't allow pets, but it is a complex run by a management company which I'm sure is not going to be lenient for one tennant. It isn't a private owner...

Well normally I would totally agree with you, but I think I can pull it off because I will be on the 2nd story (which is the top floor) and no one can really see in my wondows. Also, I have a private entrance to my apartment, so it's not like there would be a hallway outside my front door where...

i used to be TERRIBLY allergic to cats my whole life until i finally got one of my own - not caring about the consequences. i have ALWAYS adored cats and no matter what, i was determined to give one a home. well it took me almost a full year with my first cat before i developed what is...

Ok guys, here's the situation. I am moving SOON and the complex I'm moving into doesn't take pets (except birds and fish). Now I am NOT leaving my babies and I have snuck my cats into complexes before to avoid the pet deposit, but this is kind of different, ya know? I was thinking that I...

well i'm glad i'm not the only one! sheesh! my Jo (the girl) jumps up on the counter and watches while i get ready for work and when i brush my teeth, she watches the water run with her little head cocked to one side. she just sits quietly until i'm done and then when i am, she gives me a...

I am so sorry to hear about your Andy. I know how you feel - I lost my Mimi last August and it was the hardest thing ever. Just know that they're in a better place. I found this little poem online and thought it would be of some small comfort: FIRST DAY IN HEAVEN Is Heaven all you asked of...

ok, now you guys are probably all going to think we're weird, but our cats LOVE to be in the bathroom with us, even when we're using the "facilities" and in fact, our boy likes to sit on our laps when we're - well, you know... i don't have to spell it out for ya! when we have friends over, we...
