Moondance - maybe sprinkle catnip on it to get rid of the "new" smell? I'd sprinkle some in the comby things and some in the center under the chewy thing. Also if they have any balls or plastic things they like to bat around - put them on the flat spots and roll them around so the kitties hear the noise.

Eddie gets all his catnip on his cat spa since we had to get rid of his cat tree.

LOL I did that! They rolled on the catnip ... ate it then went to the box and chewed on it rolled on it then Sundance fell asleep on it ....the box!!!!!

They walk by and look at it... I am going to try it in a different place ... you know how kitties are they are funny about placement of their things. BTW I have 10 kids, you think one of them would have taken to it... I have kitties who are challenged!

Oh, BR, I wish I was there to pick out your kitten for you. I KNOW how to pick out a Siamese cat. Yes, particularly a Siamese. I had Siamese for many years, and they can be the best of dogs or the worst of cats. Sometimes there's not any in between.

Okay, since I can't be there, let me do the best I can for you and MsSweetPea. First of all. don't think of it as going to get a kitten (or two). Think of it as going to see if your kitten is in that litter. Prepare yourselves for the fact that your kitten might not be in that particular litter. When you go to look at a litter, you may or not be going home with your companion cat. ONLY take home your kitten/cat. How will you know if your cat is there? Well, mostly, it will know YOU. If the kittens run away from you, leave. If the kittens hiss at you or claw you, leave. Your cat is not there. Just leave.

If the kittens let you pick them up, good. Take the kitten to a couch or chair and try to play with it. If it immediately wants to go back to the other kittens, let it go and try another one. If none of them want to stay and play with you, leave. Your cat/kitten will most likely think you are the most wonderful thing it has ever seen and will want to roll over on its back and play bat fingers with you. Take that one home. It is yours. If there are two that do that, and you really want two, which MsSweetPea seems to want, take them both. If there is only one who seems to be your kitten, don't think you have to have littermates. You don't. If you have to have two, try another litter.

And I would also caution you to beware of mixed Siamese kittens. (I don't mean the ones Landi describes, but mixed with alley cats) In my experience, those can be real crazy cats, worse than a bad bad purebred Siamese.

Good luck, Babyruth.

(isn't Holly JUST gorgeous!?! and Ariel too, of course)

Just left a msg for you in your folder Moondance. How could I think you wouldn't stop in here? *L*

MAN 10 kitties and not one likes it?

Hmmm you have 10 who don't like it I have one who does - maybe it's MY kitty that's challenged?

Saphire! That's her name. I was racking my brain trying to remember and I was being lazy not wanting to scroll back thru all the archives! hehe

LOL @ you having a marriage shorter than JLo.

If you get the chance, you should post another pic of her. She's such a cute lil thing! I figured someone snatched her up in a heartbeat already!

They don't look alike at all. All my kitties are orange and white. I should throw a black one into the mix!

lol Mamie, that should make for some interesting kitties. The other brother is all gray and has very fine long hair. His always mats up and I have to snip them out.

They are supposed to be about 13 weeks old, but Max is much bigger and generally more mature looking than Cutie. I think the shelter just added him to the cage of another litter since his markings were similar, yet he was a good pound heavier than the rest.

I think Cutie is a Tortie/Tabby mix. The other side of her face in orange tabby instead of dark lines like in the pic above. She's fun to just look at because so much is going on visually. Max is a classic tabby and has the perfect zero on his side.
