Strange story here. When I lost Julio in August, I didn't want to talk about getting another kitty - didn't even want to think about it. But my Dad told Colossus the only way to cure my blues was to get me another kitty, he'd been down this road a few times with me before. So we talked one night about the cat that Colossus would like to have, as opposed to the cat that I DIDN'T want to have. I've always had black and white kitties with boots - Colossus said he'd like a little blond female kitty with blond eyes. I had no clue really what he was talking about, what's a blond cat with blond eyes?

In early September, a few weeks after we lost Julio, a kitten shows up at Colossus' shop - she's about 6 months old, blond colored with a little bit of striping, and blond eyes. Really - blond eyes!! And she's just an absolute love bug - all snuggles and purrs. So Colossus starts putting out a little food for her here and there, which I never thought he would because of the birds he feeds out front too.

I told Colossus she'd decide who she belonged to and let us know if we were the ones. Well, today she helped herself right in the front door, took herself on a tour of the offices, stopped by for some scratches, then took herself back outside and jumped on top of Colossus car, where she rolled around and napped for awhile.

I think we got us the best kind of new baby girl - the kind who adopts YOU instead of the other way around. Anyone want to play the "Name the new kitty" game? We've just been calling her "Blondie" so far - which is none too original, but it may stick if we don't figure something else out soon. Colossus thinks "Tawny Kitten" would be good. I said that'd only stick if she goes nuts and knocks the crap out of her hubby with a shoe while he's driving. A-ha.

PS lest this sound all too convenient, I know Colossus didn't plant the kitty - she's from a litter of 3 that was turned loose from a nearby shop (I investigated). Some of Colossus' employees were aware of her a few weeks before she decided to announce her presence to the two of us.

Here she is - ain't she sweet?

Blondie

Yes, she sure is! I had a kitty that color once and I named her "Sunshine."

I like both of your choices so far. Good luck with the naming and the adoption.

How about a Greek name to go with Gal and BigC.

Athena?
Artemis?
Persephone?
Cassandra?
Cassiopea(sp)?
Hera?

GAL, she is a beautiful kitty. Don't have suggestions for a name - sometimes one just comes to you when you get them home and see more of their personality.

I just love that she has chosen you two. Lucky kitty!

And of course Juju is always an excellent name for a cat. Or Jujubelle but that always makes me think more of a black dog.

I had a kitty like that as a child, and I called it Ginger.

awwwwwwwwwwww - what a gem (and did you know that female yellow/blone/orange cats are RARE - has to do with kitty genetics. typically orange cats are male and calicos are female but once in a while you'll find an orange female)

congrats on the addition!!

I just found this pic a few weeks ago, it's of my cat growing up(well my stepmom's cat but she stuck to me like glue). Her name is Samantha but I called her Sammy.

I have an orange tabby with tuxedo markings with medium length hair and golden eyes. Her name is Piper and I got her at the shelter with her sister Phoebe. (They were named Jojo and Julie but I changed the names.) Their owner had died and the estate had turned the cats in to the shelter.

Nice cat pic Mocha. My niece's name is Samantha.

For the GAL/Colossus cat, I like Tawnia too.

(and did you know that female yellow/blone/orange cats are RARE - has to do with kitty genetics. typically orange cats are male and calicos are female but once in a while you'll find an orange female)

6/03 a kitty showed up under the bushes at my folk's house. She was a doll, but was very skinny, and we ended up picking over 60 ticks off of her. For a week or so she had her choice, inside or out, as she pleased. My dad, who is NOT a cat lover, fell in love with her. They named her Miss Kitty [how original-not]. She had a cough and runny nose so he asked me to take her to the vet to see if it was curable and/or contagious. When I went in the lady in the office asked if she was a he or a she, then went into the story about how rare it is to have a cat that color be a female. Waited to see the vet. He checked her over, said she seemed as healthy as she could be, said nothing contagious and to get some meat on her bones before we got her spayed. My dad decided at that point she would be an inside cat. A couple weeks later I walked into the kitchen and Miss Kitty was laying on her back in the window. I ran to my brother. Told him either Miss Kitty had a worm crawling out her belly or she was really a he. I had already set up an appointment to get Miss Kitty spayed for the next day, so when I went in and said that Miss Kitty was now known as Ted they didn't believe me. I showed them the proof and she still called one of the vets in to check for sure. When we came to pick Ted up the next day he had a new collar, harness, leash, and a couple of cat toys. Vet was so embarrassed about not catching that she was really a he so he gave Ted some "boy looking items" since we had bought a pink harness there when we brought him/her in the first time.



Ted aka Miss Kitty is the Orange & White on the right, about 2 months after we got him [he looks alot healthier now, but looked incredible there compared to 2 weeks before]. Orange tiger is Fred, black filling is Dusty.

Serate, I'm laughing my butt off right now at the transexual cat!!! Miss Kitty/Fred... too funny!!!!

I've posted pictures of Willow before (definitely a girl lol) and would consider her blonde with blonde eyes... Here's a good pic of her - you be the judge. She's actually rare because of the shape of her face - it's almost bull-dogged and she has the cutest bump on the bridge of her nose. Pictures do not do this girl justice!

My kitty, who is very sweet, loving, not clingy, and very good with our 15 month old, has been injured somehow. He may have been in a fight, but we don't know because his shoulder is hurt. His ear is cut, and he can't put any weight on his leg. He prefers to be an outside cat, which is fine because we live so far out in the middle of nowhere. Last night, he came in the house, and stayed in. We fed him in the house, and he didn't want out until 6 this morning. I'd never be able to get him to the vet, because he isn't around in the morning, ever, and I work in another town. I can get him there this weekend, but what should I do until then? Is there a type of pain reliever for cats that I can give him? I don't think his leg is broken, it's not swollen or hot, I am pretty sure it is his shoulder. He seemed in good spirits. We kept the baby away from him, she hated that. He was very snuggly, but in pain none the less. What to do?

Do not give him aspirin, it can kill a cat. I don't know what you can give him.

Escapee, you can give him a baby aspirin, but cats' metabolisms do not use up the aspirin quickly so only give one crushed baby aspirin every third day. That was what our vet had us do for our arthritic kitty. I'd check with your own vet to be certain, though. How about a warmed bean bag or hot water bottle for his bed? That might comfort him some. Hope he's feeling better soon, poor kitty.

Cute kitty photos, everybody!

How about taking your kitty to an emergency pet hospital as soon as it comes in for the night?

My little Max is scheduled to be neutered tomorrow morning. I dropped him off tonight so he'd be there for his early morning surgery. I miss him already! I know that neutering is a very common thing, and I really have no reason to be worried, but I'd still like everyone to keep my Max in their thoughts tomorrow. He is my baby and I just want him to be ok.
