and I noticed the little blue boy we paid to have neutered was not there. When I asked about him, they said he was at the vet's office for adoption. My vet keeps a cage there with a cat from the shelter, to increase their exposure.

I went up to visit him. He's a real lover; stick you fingers in the cage, and he wants to rub on them. Pick him up, and he wants to snuggle. I was holding him and petting him, when another guy came out of the office and also petted him, and then another guy stopped to comment on what a great cat he was (they had both already scritched him before taking care of their vet business). We stood there, all three paying attention to him, and one of the other guys told the receptionist she should get a picture of us three mature guys all loving up on a cat.

We broke the huddle before she could get a camera. Wouldn't want to lose all our "guy points."

I agree, that would be an awesome photo. Plus, I would give you all EXTRA guy points just for the huddle.


Nothing sexier than a man cuddling a kitty.

Well, I certainly have to agree with the receptionist!

If a man loves kittens then he is a keeper for sure. That is so cute! You are such a doll for your devotion to our feline friends.
Sounds like he won't be there for long.

No, in fact there was a lady there who offered to pay 1/2 the adoption fee if I would take him home.

I AM worried about Ella, at the shelter. She just loves to be cuddled, but she's an adult, mostly tabby, with a rough-looking nose, and I don't give her good odds on adoption. Poor baby--she's a Katrina kitty, too, who was adopted then surrendered because her owners' child had asthma.

I hope the Katrina kittie gets a good home, that's so sad so many people lost their pets. Maybe we can see a pic of these cute kitteis?

I agree completely! The love I have for my husband just explodes as I see him loving on our kitties. He was a dog guy when I met him but was quickly turned to the feline side.
