My sister decided to get a cat.  She wanted a grown up cat, so I looked to craigslist.  Found someone giving away 3 cats, 1 female, 2 male.  I texted them while messaging her :).  Found out they only had the female left and she wasn't spayed yet.  She'd been dumped off at the guy's brother's house in the country and he had pitbulls who weren't cat friendly, so the family took her in.  They named her Zen.  I asked my sister if she was interested.  She was, so we went and got her today.

My sister is a little hippy-ish, so she loved the name.

At first, I thought she just had a fat wormy belly, but I don't think that's it.  She a fairly round belly, and pink prominent nipples too.  So we're thinking kittens are in her future.

She is a sweet mellow cat.  We had to stop off at petco on the way home, so my sister just carried her around the store.  She didn't even flinch.

Got her back to my sister's house, she just curled up on the sofa.  Then she ate some food and greeted the dog and came to each of us for pets.

So, here she is, sweet kitty Zen:  


Classic tabby, too, my favorite :).

What pretty girl!  Sweet a face to go with that sweet disposition. It sounds to me like she found her meant to be home.  Your sister should be congratulated on her choice of an older cat.  Most people only want the kittens.

Let us know about her babies!  Is your sister on this site?

Zen continues to do wonderfully.  She's sweet and docile but also very playful.  My sister is thrilled with her.  

I know unplanned baby kittens are not usually rejoiced, but we're excited.  We grew up with indoor/outdoor cats that my mom always "meant" to get spayed, so we know what to expect.  

It didn't occur to me to ask the guy if the males Zen lived with were neutered.  But he did say the cats didn't go outside, and he's had her since christmas, so one of his other cats must have been the dad.  One was a fat red tabby, the other a beautiful solid grey.  I guess we'll see when they get here.

That's wonderful. Have you or your sister taken her to a vet yet to get her generally checked out, & to confirm pregnancy?

What a beauty!! More more photos!
She looks a bit slim, if she is indeed pregnant she will need a bit extra care ; )
