...generating Feliway at both ends of my apartment.

I've stocked up on her wet and dry foods of choice.

My new giant litterbox has arrived in the mail, ready to be set up for my newcomer. (Thank you, Phenomsmoms!
)

I'm glancing aound my apartment wondering what items should get packed away NOW, before there is a chance they will get tossed by a flying Bengal.

Hiding the paper towel rolls in the closet...concerns about the TP roll in the bathroom...

I need to buy a new water fountain, a bigger one, I think. She'll want to torture the others by splashing water on them...

I need to buy more litter...I have plenty of toys...I have vanilla extract, in case we have issues...(that worked with Ginger and Ferris, made her accept him easier)

Oh my...I'm preparing for a new furchild - am I forgetting anything? I've already notified my vet of my new arrival, they'll see her in Sept when the other two have their annual exams...

Have I got it covered? There must be SOMETHING I'm missing...

Do your kitties use cat beds? Its sometimes nice to have something that she can claim as "hers" when she arrives, somewhere that she can go and feel safe, you know?

Ferris uses one in the living room, and there are two others not in use, plus a double kitty hammock, not to mention the cat cubes, cat tent, and three cat trees in my tiny apartment.
This place is totally set up for spoiled furbabies.

I'm adopting one of Kai Bengals retired queens, pretty Penny girl.
I'm bringing her home from NC on the 25th, a week from Friday.

She's getting Penny, from Kai Bengals. I think she flies there near the end of the month to pick her up.

I do, too.
I can't wait to meet her.


And I'm working on the wheel construction...I had a conversation with a contractor friend about it and got a lesson last night on silent wheel bearings.

Look at her markings. And that tail she's holding up so proudly. You must be so excited. I'm excited just looking at the picture!

Oh my goodness, what a fabulous cat! She truly does look like a wild creature!

I can just hear how thrilled you are -- congratulations! I can hardly wait for all the pictures and stories you'll have to share.

On my - what a beauty!

Sounds like you are preparing everything nicely.


You have forgotten one thing....a bottle of Champers for you when she arrives
Ginger, Ferris and Penny can get all high and loved up on the Feliway, while you sit and admire your furbabies sipping champagne....
