Hey everybody,
Last February, I came here asking questions about potentially adopting a cat ( http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=211988 ). I'm happy to say, on Thursday I went out and adopted a cat. She is a 1 year old, black, short haired cat named Pluto (her name was Mother Hubbard at the shelter). She's very sweet. I set up my bedroom in my apartment to be cat-proof and that's her room for now. She spends most of her time under the bed, but when I come into the room with her she'll come out and play sometimes. She mostly wants to play when I'm going to sleep, so I think she's still on a nocturnal schedule. When she's out from under the bed, she enjoys rolling around on the ground and stretching out her tummy for a good rub. She's very well behaved, she has only gone in her litter box, and she is using her scratching posts (although she's ignoring the big cat tree I bought for her... go figure). She enjoys clawing into the carpet and stretching, so I'll probably get a horizontal scratcher in the next couple days for her.
As I promised in February, here are some pictures I was able to nab of her the night I brought her home:
