First, I would just like to say thanks to everyone who offered their support throughout the whole Ismene ordeal, even after 6 years of working with leukemia cats, every loss still feels like my heart's been ripped out....Well, it seems like there is always a positive kitty out there who needs a home and I have taken on 2 new babies
Both are absolutely gorgeous calicos with the brightest oranges I have ever seen, one is a medium hair beauty, 6 months old with the loveliest yellow-green eyes
she had really fit right in, I have heard maybe one or 2 hisses, but I think Zeus has a crush on her
her follows her around with his eyes all big
Super friendly too, likes to talk (not as much as Jinx though, thank goodness
). Her name is Gaia (pronounced g-a) The second is an absolutely adorable little kitten, 3 months old, also a calico, short hair though. SO cute! she came with the name Taffy, but I'm not really digging it, so after some consideration I have decided on Athena! Intros with her have not gone quite as well, right out of the carrier she wanted to be friends and rubbed up against Pandora and Antigone and got a hiss and a bop in return
Zeus is very interested, as is Orion, but now she's a little leary
I give it a week and she'll be wrassling with the big boys (and girls!) I felt so bad though because she OBVIOUSLY did not like being in the carrier for the ride home, but she actually skinned her little nose try to chew on the carrier!
poor little thing. Gaia is fully vetted, but I've got to call the low-cost clinic and see when they can fit me in for Athena's stuff. I am totally disconnecting my phone and disabling my e-mail! I can't say no to a baby in need! Ack! I never thought I'd have 14 cats at one time, but I'm never at want for a lap-warmer
sometimes my lap gets too warm!
ETA: I am going to borrow my parents digital ASAP so I can photos of everyone! I swear I do have these cats
