So I figured I'd post this here since though you've met me, you haven't met her yet.

She is finally here!! Rowan is a female cat I believe no more than a year old who had a litter of 7 kittens, (brown tabbys, like her color and grey tabby kittens, like dad's color). She was from a military family who had to travel and her and her sister were dropped off at the shelter. I don't know how she became pregnant, but she came to the vet's office where I work to stay during her pregnancy and give birth. She was called Chica at the vet's but I didn't like the name for some reason. An interesting coincidence is that one of the receptionists went to the shelter one day and adopted a female cat and it turned out to be Rowan's sister! Apperantly her sister have the same sweet as can be personality. The runt of Rowan's litter eventually passed away and soon she started to foster 2 small black Tortie kittens that a lady couldn't care for anymore and were a bit smaller than her own kittens. She took to them right away like she gave birth to them herself.

Yesterday, my work was talking about how it was time to start finally finishing weaning the kittens and drying up mom so she could be spayed and the kittens could be fixed and start going to their new homes. The best way to do that would be to separate mom from babies so kittens would eat strictly solid foods and so mom's hormones would start to slow milk production due to lack of kittens suckling and not having the stimuli of them to make her hormones work like a momma cat's hormones. So until she is dried up and is ready to get spayed she is home with me! So exciting!!!!


Anyways, here are Pics of the little gal.
Oh! SHe also met Emmy, my dog, and was unruffled and not really scared of her, but was wary cus Emmy was acting like an idiot as usual
, but Emmy did pretty well for the most part and mostly listened and licked the cat multiple times

Awww..what a gorgeous girl. I love her white toes, she looks a lot like my Jennie, including the white toes.

Clearly her Name IS Rowan, and that is why you did not like the name Chica for her.

SHe is the most low key cat I have met. SHe asked a few questions and looked unsure when when I put her in the carrier and in the car cus her kittens weren't there and she didn't know where we were going, but as soon as we came home and she got out of the carrier in the room I set up for her she got to business, rubbing all over my BF and I and I sprinkled catnip over her scratching posts and she went wild rubbing all over them and scratching them. When I went in this AM to feed her it didn't look like she marked inappropriately so that was a plus


She does look like your kitty otto
I love her white feet. My BF calls my dogs tan legs her boots so Rowan has boots and socks :p

She's very petite, a small little gal. She is always kneading and purring and rubbing against things and making seductive eyes.

Rowan is a very pretty gal! I am partial to tabbies, and black and whites, and calicos, and torties, and orangies....oh man! I love them all!!!

You can tell from looking at her that she has a nice personality.

Emmy is still treating her like a dog. a little too roughly, all Rowan does in return is rub against her
I wish that she would show signs of wanting to tell her off sometimes. I hope just with time Emmy chills out some. and hope it is soon!
