Congrats on your new kitty, Jim. I like the talkers! She may not be a
beauty, but she is photogenic.Looks quite content with her choice. Very nice
pic.
Maisy is in/out at her whim.Just got her a cat door with a sensor that only
allows her to open it. Collar pendant emits a light pulse every few seconds.
Pretty neat.
She was rescued by a neighbor who had 3 big dogs & seven cats at that time.
Former owners had a new puppy that thought she was a chew toy. When our
pretty Cricket (a black manx) died, Maisy moved in. Wanted to be an only cat
I guess. She has her hind claws, but still gets picked on by some of the
neighborhood cats.
Maisy catches mice & birds, almost catches squirrels. She also "scratches"
on my baskets & rug.
re the food bowl thing. Maisy always wants a few "fresh" bits of cat chow in
the dish, then she will eat the rest.

I agree Judy- mine was declawed in the front when he
came home also. I opted for him rather than the young
kitties when I adopted him. Seems around here everyone
wants a young kitty, not an old man of 8 months...
their loss, as he turned out to be a great cat! But he
is not allowed outside due to it.

I'm sure you are giving her a good home and making her life happier.

cats, like people, still deserve our love and respect. My sofa
has the stuffing hanging out at the back, but I still love my cats and


would



consider a declawed one to be crippled.

not having to worry

Jim, I have found a pair of siblings to be a



really good choice several



times.  I enjoy having more than one cat, but our



pair of sisters are



the most fun.  Kittens aren't nearly as hard to



civilize as puppies, and



I think they adapt more readily than older cats.



Good for you about not



having a de-clawed cat!  I think that's totally



brutality - can hardly be
nice



to people who I know have de-clawed cats.  I



always feel sad when I have



a nice cat spayed - there will never be any more



from that particular



strain - but a non-spayed female does present the



obvious problems.



Sounds to me like the pair of kittens is just what



you need.
