She just sounds so sweet, and does have the cutest, most inquisitive little face!

Our Spooky is like that - kneading in place while standing up being petted.


intros go well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look at that face!!! My heart has been stolen!!! How lucky you ALL are. She's a little character and looks like she is full of joy to be out of that shelter!!!

Oh, and her name is Dorothy! Unless it's not. But we are pretty sure that's it.


Also, she likes belly rubs!


I will get more pics and post them tomorrow.

She is beautiful! I had an orange cat when I was living at home with my mom and I named her Peaches. I even bathed her in peach smelling soap sometimes. That poor cat! LOL Dorothy looks very happy and healthy.

Cold and lovin' it in MN
She's simply precious and so cute. She's very grateful to you for giving her a forever home. Dorothy, Dot for short, is just perfect. Hope she and Genever get along.

Silly face:


I'll get some more, I'm sure. And hopefully we'll find her name soon too.
The picture wouldn't show up for me

Thanks again for the compliments. As of yesterday afternoon, there's only been I think 2 hiss from Genever! She still keeps her distance for the most part, but I think she's coming to accept that Dorothy will be with us for the long haul. I just really hope it will keep progressing from 'tolerate' to actually liking/playing/snuggling.

Here's some more photos I took yesterday of our Polka Dot:



Nice face..



She's got some huge whiskers! And she has 1 black one on her right rise, and a few black ones on her left. If I can get a closeup without bugging her too much, I'll post some whisker pics.

Wow! Love the new pics! She's beautiful! Love the name, too. She looks like she's made herself completely at home.

Yeah, she seems very comfortable. I'm glad. She does lie under the bed a lot though too. Otherwise, she spends her time near us, rolling over to get a belly rub now and then..

You moved the first pictures - they're not viewable anymore.


But I love the new pics - she's adorable even when she's not looking too happy!

Oh.... you know what? I changed the name of my photobucket album from New Cat to Dorothy. I bet that screwed it all up.
Here they are again, plus some more.

First day here, her paws are blurry because she was making so many biscuits!


Silly Face:


Bookends:


G-cat just watching...


Dot definitely likes to play:




And laze around:

Thank you!! I love her tiny little chin too, and her BAtman ears, and her 'shopping bag' (see Girls Getting Closer thread in the Cat Lounge
). Dot is definitely settling in, tonight she was playing so hard! And she and Genever were chasing each other around a bit, which is a first. Progress!!

Wow, that's fast! Meant to be, clearly.

Jennie makes Air Biscuits too.
