exciting news....

You all remember Maxine right??

She is Maxwell's sister. She was here earlier in the year and then went to Petco. And seemed to be there FOREVER!!! She is only 7 months old and has spent most of her life up there. The girls at the store love her and she came out of her shell with them. But she was still jumpy and mom was afraid she would might not get adopted.

Well......Maxine went HOME LAST NIGHT!!!!  A very single guy who is disabled (so he is home all the time). His last cat lived to almost 20 years old. After she ran for the Bridge several months ago, he decided it was time to share his life with another kitty. He saw Maxine in the Petco store and went in and she came right up to him. Mom talked to him and he said he is more than willing to work with her and give her all the time she needs.

Concats Maxine!!! It may have taken some time, but we know it was worth the wait.

Random Fridays.....

Did you see the post from Miss Chrystal about transporting kitties to California????  Can you or someone you know and trust help out???  These kitties are being offered a wonderful loving home - and getting them there opens up space in the cat house. Word is now they may be able to get from Illinois to Oklahoma City.....  what about from there???

Frosting

It has been cold and overcast and generally yucky here for a while.  Yesterday we had some sun - and one spot coming in the window. Three guesses who was the first to find it?

Some of you may remember Maxine. She is (unfortunately) still at Petco waiting for her forever home. Part of it is that whenever someone comes up to the cage, she hides under the shelf. sigh....

Anyhow, last week our friend Miss Beckie asked if we would be willing to take a kitten who is snotty and then can go up to the Petco store.

Meet Maxwell - yep, Maxine's sister:

She is sweet, but just about as jumpy as her sister. ergh....

Well, the time has come. Emma will be heading up to Petco this weekend. Mom has her monthly adoption event on Sunday but wants to get Emma up there maybe even this afternoon.

Last fall mom discovered that Bourbon and Moonshine had grown some double fangs. She was playing with Emma last night and discovered Emma has double upper fangs right now too. Normally our foster kittens leave early so we don't have them up to this age (Emma is about 5 months old). But apparently it is pretty common for the adult fangs to come in before the baby fangs fall out. No pictures - Emma won't cooperate. But she is chewing on EVERYTHING!!! Mom's toes, the laptop, the tv remote, toys, Mo's tail.....

a couple of short term newbies....

Judy (above) and Maxine (below) 

With the boys leaving on Sunday and an adoption from Petco (no, not Gin sigh.....), we were down a cat at Petco and it was just us and Emma here. So Mom spoke to Miss Beckie about playing a game of musical cats to Petco. Miss Beckie was going to give us a little guy to keep Emma company, but then decided maybe to send a couple of her shyer kittens to us.

Judy went to Petco yesterday. She is not quite as skittish as Maxine.

Mom laughed at Emma.....when the new kittens were released into the bathroom, Maxine ran and hid and Judy sat on the blankets. Emma of course had followed mom in - looking for something to eat of course. She came over, sat in front of Judy, tilted her head to one side....and whapped Judy on the head (not hard, but still). Emma has been trying to play with Judy - though not overly successfully.  :)

Maxine is gonna need some work - right now she is running from mom and everyone else here. But heaven help us she is a cutie (mom just has to get a better picture).

Loved all the comments yesterday. We know when fosters come in that the plan is to find them homes and watch them leave. But Bourb (and by extension Shine) were the exceptions - due to special needs and just the length of time they were here.  There were tears, but they were happy tears. Mom knows this special couple is the right place for the kids...... And don't worry - we will keep you updated. :)
